A severe indictment was filed Sunday against three caregivers at the "horror daycare" in Ariel, where hundreds of instances of severe abuse against helpless toddlers were exposed. The shocking case has left parents devastated, grappling with guilt and remorse for not noticing the abuse occurring under their noses.
Oren Hazan, whose children were enrolled in the daycare and also suffered abuse, shared his pain and sense of personal failure as a father in an interview. He stated, "This will haunt me my entire life, I failed as a father." Hazan recalled how his wife, Rinat, had previously expressed concerns following the Carmel Mauda case, but he dismissed her worries and reassured her.
Despite the children returning home happy and clean despite the abuse, Hazan finds no comfort and continues to feel deep guilt. However, he emphasized that parents do not have the luxury of succumbing to sadness but have a duty to fight for justice and ensure the perpetrators are imprisoned.
The dramatic turning point that led to the exposure of the case came thanks to a brave animal instructor who attended a first class at the daycare and immediately contacted the police.
