Abusive daycare provider may have been given light sentence because she used Haredi lifestyle as shield
The following miscarriage of justice may have been because the court accepted a "priviledged class" status the offender is going by now:
The Jerusalem Magistrates Court this week sentenced a daycare provider in the city's Kiryat Moshe neighborhood to community service, Kikar Hashabbat reported.That definitely is too lenient. And one can only wonder if the woman's current lifestyle has anything to do with it. If the criminal had been of Islamic background, it's chilling to think what the court's decision would be too. This is another terrible example an Israeli court is setting here.
According to the ruling, when the children fought over a toy, the provider took the hand of one child and dragged him towards the outer walls of the daycare center, before throwing him roughly and with great force.
During the hearing, it became clear that the daycare provider, who now identifies as haredi but who did not always lead a religious lifestyle, has a criminal background and has committed crimes twice in the past.
The prosecution petitioned for penal labor, while the woman's lawyer claimed that, "There is no one who will argue about the difficulty in caring for young children." He added that, "This is a demanding job. And no one disagrees that enforcing order in a daycare is an integral part of the routine in the daycare. At the end of the day, she made a mistake in judgement." Thereafter, the court sentenced the woman to 250 hours of community service.
