Suspicion of serious abuse in a kindergarten in Lod: "Do not come to kindergarten, we suffer with you" | Israel today

The garden that has become hell.

Parents in Lod were shocked to hear how the municipal kindergarten staff screams at the children, only 4-3 years old, threatening and humiliating them.

In the recordings that reached Israel Today, the kindergarten staff was heard treating the young children in a shocking way, in a way that has nothing to do with education.

Suspicion of abuse in a municipal park in the center of the country

The parents say that in recent months the kindergarten has become a hell for the children, and that they have apparently experienced abuse there.

For example, in one of the recordings, an assistant is heard saying to the child: "Do not come to the kindergarten, do not come to the kindergarten, you cloud the atmosphere in this whole kindergarten, how much we suffer with you, how much we try - nothing. Relax a little."

She then added: "Enough poking my nose, I feel like vomiting."

In another recording, horrible screams are heard from the crew, who absurdly demand that the children be quiet.

In another recording, one of the assistants complains about the children: "There is no day that passes here in peace," and says to one of the children: "What are you kidding? I would have cried for you."

"The team throws terror at them"

One of the mothers, Orit (pseudonym), said that her daughter had lost weight and refused to eat in kindergarten.

According to her, the staff members behave aggressively towards the children during the meals, urge the children to eat and scream at them when they get dirty.

"A child who falls for food - gets shouted at," she says.

"One of the children even got a threat that he would not get food, that he would go home hungry and that she would tell his mother that he did not want to eat. You can clearly hear it in the recordings. Our children became scared and frightened, some went back wet at night. The staff just controls them terror. Alone in the garden. "

Indeed, the recordings obtained by "Israel Today" show that the lunch is indeed conducted aggressively.

In one of the recordings, an assistant is heard screaming at a child: "Arrange yourself first, you can not eat."

Another child was told, "You will not eat, you will go home hungry and I will tell your mother that you did not want to eat. Come sit down to eat right away."

Another child was shouted at: "Finish already, do not play with the spoon."

Some of the parents claim that they saw in their eyes acts bordering on physical violence, but did not file a complaint with the police.

The parents demand the removal of the staff and its replacement with a new staff - but according to them, the municipality and the Ministry of Education sent the exact same staff, and they themselves, the parents, had to come to the kindergarten and be with the children during the day.

"The case is being handled severely"

The Lod Municipality responded: "The Lod Municipality considers any harm to kindergarten children in the city very serious, and will not allow verbal abuse and verbal violence in any way. The case, which was reported last Friday, is being handled in full severity by the Lod Municipality and the Ministry of Education.

"At a meeting held on Sunday this week, in cooperation with municipal education officials and the inspector of the Ministry of Education, it was decided that the entire kindergarten staff would not return. In the emotional field, the Ministry of Education's supervisor is worried about a replacement teacher, but she has not yet started her work due to the strike in the education system.

"This is an exceptional case, which does not characterize the quality education in kindergartens in the city. We will accompany the children and parents in the near future, and give them a professional solution to ensure the return of children to a good and safe activity routine. We will continue to work with the Ministry of Education and parents. The physical and mental safety of the children of the kindergartens in the city. "
