The names of three assistants suspected in a child abuse case at two private daycare centers in Ashkelon have been cleared for publication. Svetlana Buzdumov, Tatyana Plotnikov, and Anastasia Supronova are among those arrested. A judge ordered their detention extended until Monday, November 16th, while two other suspects were released under restrictive conditions. The name of the kindergarten teacher has not yet been released.
The judge described the evidence, primarily from security camera footage, as depicting systematic abuse not limited to a single incident or a small scale. She noted that Buzdumov was seen grabbing, throwing, and hitting children, with infants returning from daycare with bruises. While Plotnikov denies the allegations, the judge remarked that she seemed to downplay her involvement rather than outright deny it. Supronova has been questioned twice.
The investigation began this week following a complaint from a parent. The Ministry of Education also filed a complaint after a supervisor observed suspicious staff behavior on surveillance footage. Police are contacting parents of children identified as potential victims to gather their statements. The investigation is ongoing.
