A kindergarten worker in Netanya, Shelly Sheinker, has been sentenced to seven years in prison by the Central District Court in Lod for numerous instances of abuse and assault against 12 children aged seven months to 1.5 years old. The court also ordered her to pay 300,000 shekels in compensation to the parents of the victims.
According to the court's findings, Sheinker engaged in approximately 60 abusive acts, including pushing, hitting, slapping, pulling hair, kicking, pinching, and forcefully squeezing the faces of the children. She also ignored their crying and, in some cases, lifted them by one arm and threw them forcefully, even while they were sleeping. Additionally, she sprayed cleaning agents towards the toddlers and once pushed a crawling child with a chair.
The abuse was captured on surveillance cameras at the "Ha-Gan Ha-Shafuk" kindergarten. The prosecution had sought a ten-year sentence.
The court emphasized the exceptional severity of the violence against young children, particularly when perpetrated by someone entrusted with their care. Sheinker's personal circumstances, as detailed in a probation service report, were also considered in the sentencing.
