A court in Petah Tikva extended the house arrest of three daycare workers in central Israel for an additional eight days as part of an ongoing investigation into alleged abuse of toddlers. Evidence, including security camera footage, reportedly links each of the suspects to numerous incidents.
Investigators are examining suspicions that the caregivers threw soiled diapers at the children, allegedly to humiliate them and enforce discipline. The complexity of the investigation is compounded by the extensive video evidence, with eight cameras recording seven to eight hours daily.
The prosecution is involved and overseeing the investigation. A police representative stated that the findings strengthen the reasonable suspicion against the women. The judge noted that the suspicion against each suspect has increased and that their house arrest should be intensified, citing multiple incidents per individual.
The court denied the police's request for a ten-day extension, settling for eight. The publication of the suspects' names was delayed for 48 hours, keeping their identities confidential for now. Clashes erupted outside the courtroom between parents of the toddlers and individuals associated with the suspects, requiring intervention from court security.
