A magistrate court in Ashkelon has released the manager of the private "Zuzu" daycare chain in the city to house arrest under restrictive conditions. She is suspected of failing to report alleged abuse of infants and toddlers, aged eight months to three years, by four of the daycare's caregivers. The judge criticized the police during the hearing, stating that the suspicion of non-reporting was based solely on one caregiver's statement and that there was currently no justification for detention. The detention of three of the caregivers was extended for five days earlier.
The investigation began after allegations surfaced that four caregivers at the "Zuzu" daycare center had abused young children. The manager's alleged failure to report these incidents led to her arrest and subsequent court appearance. The court's decision to release her to house arrest highlights concerns about the evidence presented by the police regarding her complicity in not reporting the abuse.
