A Magistrate's Court in Ashkelon extended the arrest of three caregivers from the "Zuzu" daycare center, who are suspected of abusing toddlers aged eight months to three years. The court heard serious findings from the investigation, with Judge Chen Ben Haim stating that the suspicions point to systematic, repeated behavior across two daycare facilities, not isolated incidents. The investigation began after a parent filed a complaint. Police had previously arrested other employees, including the daycare manager, though her hearing has not yet taken place. Another arrested caregiver was released. The judge described evidence of significant harm to very young children, including instances of shaking and throwing infants into cribs. The police representative emphasized the numerous documented cases supporting the allegations. The judge indicated that the evidence could support further detention requests. This case emerged in the same week an indictment was filed in a separate alleged abuse case at the "Luchik" daycare in Ariel, where a manager and two caregivers are accused of over 400 instances of abuse against 17 infants.
