The alleged attack is completely unprovoked as the woman appears to hurl abuse and slap the elderly lady before shaking her head in her hands.

Local reports said that the daughter, Miriam Marino, was approached by someone who claimed that they saw the elderly woman being mistreated.

Ms Marino installed a security camera at her home in Buenos Aires, Argentina, which she shares with her mother, and was shocked with what it revealed.

The footage shows the elderly mother being abused for around 17 minutes.

The family released the video on social media to bring attention to the issue in a bid to protect people from future abuse.

The employee, previously dedicated to the care of children, was hired three years ago by relatives of the elderly woman, according to Argentine news website Infobae.

The publication reported that the daughter does not believe her mother suffered abuse during this entire time however.

The family later spoke with the carer, who explained to them that she was struggling to deal with problems at home.

The 94-year-old was unable to inform her family of the abuse because she could not remember due to her condition.
