Woman Dragged Disabled Teen Across Floor at Nassau Group Home: Police

SEA CLIFF, NY - A 27-year-old Huntington woman is accused of grabbing a disabled teen and dragging her across the floor at a group home in Nassau County.

According to detectives, Reneisha Goodridge, was employed as a child care worker at SCO Family Services, located at 101 Downing Avenue in Sea Cliff, when she became involved in an argument with a 17-year-old girl at about 5:52 p.m. on May 15.

After pushing the teen, Goodridge grabbed her arm and dragged her across the floor, causing bruising to her eye, scratches on her neck and a swollen lip, police said. The teen was treated for her injuries at the scene.

After SCO conducted an internal investigation, the police were notified on Friday and Goodridge voluntarily surrendered to detectives in Huntington, police said.

Goodridge is charged with endangering the welfare of an incompetent or physically disabled person and will be arraigned on Saturday in First District Court, Hempstead.

SCO says it "operates more than 80 programs at 120 locations, providing necessary services and unconditional care to more than 55,000 of New York’s most vulnerable people."
