Police in Ashkelon have arrested a caregiver and four assistants from two private daycare centers on suspicion of abusing children aged one to three years old. The arrests are part of an ongoing investigation into allegations of assault against vulnerable minors.
The investigation began this week after police received a report concerning suspicions of violent treatment of children at the two daycares, which reportedly operate under a single management. Following the collection of evidence that strengthened the suspicions, investigators decided to detain the caregiver and the four assistants, all Ashkelon residents. They are suspected of committing offenses of assault against a helpless minor by a person responsible for them.
Police are expected to summon the parents of the children suspected of being harmed in the coming days to file complaints and provide testimonies. The investigation is ongoing, and police will consider requesting an extension of the suspects' detention in court, depending on the investigation's progress and the evidence gathered.
