Documentation of abuse in Siegel's kindergarten in Holon/Lala
At the Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court today (Thursday) a sentencing hearing was held in the case of the kindergarten teacher Sigal Adhami and the assistant to daughter Inger, Yifit Erez and Ward Avraham, after they attacked a large number of toddlers while working at the "Siegal Kindergarten" in Holon and were convicted of violent offenses against them.
During the hearing, the parents shared with the court the great suffering and hardship they had to endure as a result of the serious injuries to their children, in order for the court to take this into account in the punishment it will hand down to the convicts.
"There is my son before he was in the Segal Kindergarten, and there is my son after that," Sapir, the mother of a toddler who was injured in the kindergarten, painfully shared.
"He had a lot of tantrums, difficulties eating. He doesn't sleep at night and screams all the time. He has seizures so badly that at home he bangs his head against the wall. Throughout the time we tried to understand what we were doing wrong, it doesn't make sense that a child doesn't He sleeps at all at night."
Sapir told how she suspected that he might have experienced some kind of vulnerability in kindergarten, but when he asked Sigel the kindergarten teacher to watch the cameras, she reassured him by replying that she had watched them herself and that everything was going well.
"I trusted her and the team wholeheartedly," said Sapir.
"I never dreamed in my wildest dreams that it was possible to do such a thing and act with such cruelty."

Eran, the father of a pair of twins who were injured in kindergarten, told how the injuries to his children caused illnesses to break out in him.
"Sigel Maschinati was a significant figure in the landscape of the neighborhood. It's a small neighborhood where everyone knows everyone and I really trusted her," Eran burst into tears and said.
"You drop your kids off at kindergarten, go to the office and you don't know what your kids are going through. When you read the protocols and see what your kids went through every hour while you're sitting in the office, drinking coffee, meeting with people and you put them there. I got to the point where I wake up You see the child in the morning and he's just frozen in bed even though he's awake. When we started watching the videos, we started making the connection between the things."
About ten parents of toddlers in the kindergarten came to the hearing to see the kindergarten staff, but they refused to stand by their side in the courtroom without a judge being present in the courtroom and quieting the parents.
Throughout the discussion, comments were made between the parties, with the parents claiming that the kindergarten staff's family members were cursing them, and they denied it.

The case was sought in 2020, when the three assistants were recorded abusing and attacking toddlers.
Two of them, Ortel Binyamin and Rinat Yanko, are serving prison terms in Neve Tiratza for abusing and assaulting the toddlers.
The other three assistants: Vared Avraham, Yiffit Erez and Livnat Onger, were also convicted of the charges in the indictment that include assaults on the toddlers.
Chen Kubritz Cohen, the headquarters of the fight for the children, who has been accompanying the parents since the affair broke out: "In August 2020, just before the camera law came into effect, which prevents parents from having access to cameras, the parents watched for themselves what their children went through in kindergarten, which can be defined as hell on earth. Everything was there only Not warmth and love. Sigal Adhami, Livnat Unger, Yiffit Asher, Vared Avraham and their partners Ortel Binyamin and Rinat Yanko hurt them in the most difficult ways that the brain cannot imagine. Today, 3 and a half years later, the parents finally got a chance to stand up to Sigal, the owner of the kindergarten who once Other times she avoided the discussions and said what was on their hearts, their difficulty from then to this day. It is unbearably difficult to hear what the families are going through - because the whole family unit is affected and not just the boy or girl. And the effects are still long and for a long time. And they are free, enjoying themselves, spending time Today, however, the judge finally listened to the parents and I hope that here too, the trend of harsher punishment will continue and the four of them will go to prison, because that's where they belong. They should pay for their actions and pay the price like the families are paying today. Thanks to the parents' access to cameras, the actions were exposed Even today, the camera law must change, parents must be allowed access, otherwise we will continue to see more and more cases like this."
