Development over the weekend in the investigation of the abuse case in the "Lolly of Orly" kindergarten in Petah Tikva: The
police suspect that there were further assaults of toddlers in the private home.
Tomorrow, the kindergarten director and her kindergarten teacher will be brought for another hearing on extending their detention at the Magistrate's Court in Petah Tikva.
Last Thursday, Orly and Daniel Davidovich, the kindergarten principal and her daughter, were allowed to publish the suspects in the severe abuse.
The two were arrested after one of the mothers filed a complaint against them.

"This is a complex and sensitive investigation that was opened immediately upon receipt of an online police complaint from the parents of one of the girls in kindergarten, with the investigation being conducted with intensity and priority, due to the severity of the offenses and the age of the victims," police said.
"As part of the investigation, the police arrested the two about a week ago on suspicion of assaulting several helpless toddlers at various times, and in light of the findings, the court ordered an extension of their detention until Sunday and a closure order was issued for the daycare."
After collecting the security camera footage from the kindergarten and being exposed to severe violence by the two suspects against the toddlers, Petah Tikva station investigators have continued in recent days to collect testimonies from the toddlers' parents and other witnesses in the case.
"According to the findings of the documentation, many suspicions were added to the serious assault of about ten children in the daycare center at several different times. These are even more serious incidents than those that were known at the stage of the first extension of detention," police said.
In the "Orly's Lolly" kindergarten, children between the ages of three months and three years are educated.
As you may recall, in videos shown at previous court hearings, a one-year-old and ten-month-old boy in kindergarten was seen upside down on a trampoline with his head down for 13 minutes.
"I had no thought or suspicion that he was going through such things," his father said.
"We did not sleep at night. I went to my son's bed and apologized to him that this is the world he knows at the moment. He is sweet and cute and helpless like all babies. I do not know how to trust humans anymore."
Another mother in the kindergarten said: "We are in a nightmare, we did not believe that the issue of kindergarten abuse would knock on our door. My daughter tells what they did to her, I was finally able to get some details out of her and I am just speechless. It's just inconceivable "They're hurting him."
