A Magistrate's Court in Ashkelon extended the arrest of three daycare workers on Thursday, who are suspected of abusing infants and toddlers aged eight months to three years. The caregivers, employed at the private "Zuzu" daycare centers in the city, were arrested following a complaint filed by a parent. The daycare's manager, who was also arrested, has not yet appeared for her hearing. Another arrested kindergarten teacher was released from the station on Wednesday. Judge Chen Ben Haim stated that the abuse was not minor and not a single or small-scale incident, but rather a systematic pattern of behavior occurring in both centers where the suspects work. She described one instance where a caregiver "takes one baby in her hands, shakes him and throws him into the playpen, and immediately without wasting time goes to the second baby, whom she also shakes, hits, and throws into the playpen. Babies about 9 months old, no more than a year old." A police representative added, "They were observed in many cases."
