A Texas healthcare worker on Friday was arrested and charged in connection with the abuse of a disabled child patient, police said.

Kathy Moses is facing third-degree felony charges of injury to a child, elderly or disabled person after she allegedly struck a disabled 11-year-old patient, per police and local news outlet Valley Central, an NBC and CBS-affiliated news station.

The parents of the disabled girl alerted police after Moses was allegedly caught on camera striking their daughter at their Mission, Texas residence on several occasions, said Mission Police Department spokesperson Art Flores, per Valley Central.

Flores told the outlet that the child's parents set up a camera in the home after they noticed that their daughter apparently got scared every time Moses came over.

The parents notified authorities after footage allegedly revealed Moses grabbing their child by her shirt, yelling and slapping their child several times in the face, and striking her twice in the head with a book, Flores told Valley Central.

Moses was arraigned on Friday. Her bond was set to $100,000.
