A mother, identified as Maya, has shared her harrowing account of alleged infant and toddler abuse at a highly recommended daycare center in Ra'anana. The suspicions of mistreatment arose after one child was hospitalized with an ear injury, prompting a police investigation that Maya described as uncovering a "baby abuse cult." The daycare reportedly cared for children ranging from six months to three years old.
Maya recounted witnessing disturbing video footage presented by the police, which she stated depicted severe physical abuse. "There were beatings, there were slams, there were ear tugs, there were blocked airways," she said, adding that the reality was far worse than she could have imagined. She noted that the police had asked parents not to disclose the specifics of the video content.
The mother detailed the severe emotional and developmental regression her own daughter experienced after leaving the daycare. "Since she left the kindergarten, she's been in regression. She doesn't leave us, she cries, she's in anxiety," Maya explained. A professional described her daughter's condition as "emotional regression," noting she stopped waving goodbye and clapping.
Maya emphasized that the investigation is ongoing and expressed a desire to amplify the voices of the children affected. "We are really doing this for our children, so there will be awareness, so that other parents understand that they might think their children are in the safest kindergarten in the world, but it can really happen anywhere," she stated, urging other parents to remain vigilant.
