The Southern District Attorney's Office

The indictment against the aide states that she did not report Salem's acts of violence and abuse to anyone, and this was revealed as a result of another aide's report to the kindergarten, in November 2020. The indictment states that the defendant Ada, violated her duty to report the acts as soon as possible to the social workers or the police.

Shani Taub, a mother of two toddlers in kindergarten, told Israel Today: "I have bad feelings about this indictment. And shout their cry.
"How can you see someone hurting toddlers and not telling anyone? She has had so many opportunities, but apparently her livelihood is more important than the psyche of our children. I know filing an indictment for failing to report kindergarten cases is a precedent, and I'm glad the prosecution is leading it. With us. "
Yossi Hevra, CEO of Justice for Children, headquarters of the fight against early childhood abuse: "Finally, there is a prosecutor's office that takes the issue of abuse and assault in kindergartens one step further, and files an indictment for non-reporting.
Staff women, who are in kindergarten and see the serious acts that the children go through in kindergarten - and do nothing, are as guilty of us as the abuser.
"There have never been so many assistants in Carmel's kindergarten, and no one has taken the initiative and done anything except the assistant who blew it up. I hope the current indictment will lead the women on the kindergarten staff to understand that they are complicit in the offense."
