The Magistrate's Court in Nazareth sentenced Lilach Amsalem today (Thursday) to assist Magen Gilbi in Afula with three months of community service, after she was convicted of assaulting four toddlers.
In July 2019, a complaint was filed with the Afula police after the mothers saw in the kindergarten cameras how she behaves violently towards the children.
The prosecution filed an indictment and at the end of September the aide admitted and was convicted of assault offenses.

One of the mothers expressed dissatisfaction with the sentence: "A feeling of disappointment. No one can understand what happened to us from the moment we understood what she did. She crushed my child. I think there will be no severe punishment here, but three months of service work? I did not expect that And I'm just disappointed with the justice system that this is the message it is passing on to those who are harming children. "
Yossi Hevra, director of the headquarters of the fight against early childhood abuse, said: "The sentence she received today from the court is difficult to define at all as a sentence.
Three months of service work, what exactly is the struggle headquarters fighting for?
It does not make sense that on days when there is talk of aggravating punishment for all those who harm the helpless, led by MK Ofir Katz.

"It's shocking and it has to change. Shame on the justice system and the prosecution in the north and I say sharp and smooth here, the headquarters of the struggle will not give up, the law will pass and anyone who touches the hair of a child's head will sit behind bars."
