Police are expected to announce their intention to indict the owner of the "Luchik" daycare in Ariel and two assistants on charges related to hundreds of alleged abuse incidents against toddlers. The announcement, a prosecutor's statement of intent, is scheduled for tomorrow, with formal indictments and requests for pre-trial detention anticipated early next week. The investigation, conducted by Ariel police in the Judea and Samaria district, scrutinized thousands of hours of security camera footage from the daycare. Investigators uncovered evidence of hundreds of violent acts against infants, including choking, kicking, and throwing objects. While other suspects were arrested during the probe, the upcoming statement specifically targets the owner and two assistants who remain in custody. Reports indicate the children endured severe abuse, described as including choking, being hit with objects, starvation, slaps, being dragged on the floor, and other serious violent acts. Parents were reportedly shocked by the findings, especially as some continued to send their children to the daycare even after police began collecting evidence.
