SUGAR LAND, Texas (KTRK) — Investigators in Sugar Land are looking into a home health care worker accused of hitting a 4-year-old boy with autism.<\/p>\n

She says what she never imagined was watching her home surveillance video and seeing her night nurse hurt her son.<\/p>\n
In the video, you’ll see Only on 13, Andrea Clark says her 4-year-old son’s night nurse is seen being rough with her son, and then you hear a slap. ABC13 blurred this video because it appears to show a child being abused.<\/p>\n
“Sick. Angry. Furious. So many things were going through my mind,” Clark said.<\/p>\n
“I’m sorry will never be good enough for what she put my son through. I don’t think this is the first time that she abused my son,” Clark said.<\/p>\n

Clark says she stepped in, grabbed her son, and told the night nurse to leave immediately.<\/p>\n
“I hope that she never works with children again,” Clark said. “It makes me feel angry, not only with her but with myself for not noticing.”<\/p>\n
