From the program "Real Time" of Here 11 which brings a new testimony of an Israeli family against the treatments of Prof. Amos Rolider (here 11)
About six months after the investigation of the "Real Time" program of Here 11, which revealed documentation of Professor Amos Rolider's treatments for children with head injuries in Canada during the 1990s, a new testimony from an Israeli family that Rolider treated her child after his return from Canada will be broadcast tonight (Wednesday).
According to the family's testimony in the program, which is reinforced by another witness to some of the incidents, it was alleged that the treatment was rigid and included, among other things, the force of the girl, then only ten, on the floor for long minutes, while several adults leaned over her. Cries of crying and pain. One of the testimonies alleged that the girl even lay for long minutes in a puddle of water that Rolider himself spilled, despite all her pleas and cries for help.
Following the broadcast of the previous investigation, Rolider claimed that the videos aired documented only part of the professional care he provided in Canada, emphasizing that it was given to children with head injuries, with involuntary behaviors, whose other alternatives for treatment might have been more severe.
However, in the new testimony presented in "real time" it was alleged that Rolider used other controversial methods while also dealing with a much more common behavior problem - here, in Israel.

The treatment in question took place, according to the plan, about a year after Rolider returned from Canada, during the second half of the 1990s. A. was then less than ten years old, a girl who suffered from behavioral problems at home and at school, and a mutual acquaintance recommended to the family members the behavioral surgeon Amos Rolider who could help them.
The investigation alleged that as part of the treatment that lasted about two years, whenever the girl did not listen to the staff or parents' instructions, Rolider instructed them to call him immediately for "clarification." During the investigation, the girl was required, among other things, to sit confined to a chair for long minutes without looking away from Rolider and without being allowed to move her arms in any way, "Real Time" claims. If she moved them, for example to wipe away her tears or runny nose - Rolider put them back in place with great force. "My little finger is crooked in a way that it almost broke, I remember screaming, and usually when I scream it just made him more aggressive," the patient on the show says.
At other times, according to the investigation, Rolider created "provocations" to test the girl's cooperation. For example, he poured water in the hallway, and after the girl refused to wipe, Rolider responded to the mother's claim: , Shoulder, head, we restrained her to the floor, do not allow her to move a fingertip. She cries terribly. It lasted a few minutes and did not happen once, she was lying on the floor many times. , save me'". She claims that when they tried to stop the treatment Rolider explained to them that it would make it impossible to help the girl in any other way.
Amos Rolider responded to "Real Time": "Instead of praising, they bring a story that did not happen 25 years ago and refuse to reveal the girl's name. Execute my good name without being able to defend it. .
