Three daycare workers in central Israel remain under house arrest as suspicions of severe abuse against toddlers intensify, following a review of surveillance footage. The court extended their house arrest by eight days, until October 21, though police had requested ten days. The investigation is ongoing, with authorities examining extensive video material from the daycare's eight cameras, each recording several hours daily.
During a court hearing, angry parents confronted the three suspects, with court officers intervening to separate them. Parents demanded that the investigation be expanded to include other staff members, particularly the daycare's manager, questioning why she has not been detained. One parent stated that the court, after viewing video evidence, acknowledged the severity of the allegations, and even the defense attorneys did not dispute the existence of offenses.
Further allegations have surfaced, including that the caregivers allegedly threw soiled diapers at the toddlers in an attempt to humiliate them and enforce daycare rules. Parents described their children suffering from severe abuse, including forceful pushing, pulling, and humiliation. The investigation aims to uncover the full extent of the incidents and identify all involved parties.
