Haredi parents of infant who died in illegal daycare defend the culprit

Considering what kind of socialist-collective mindset ultra-Orthodox communities like this can go by, it's devastating but not surprising the parents of one of the 2 dead children would defend the operator of the illegal daycare no matter how much she and her colleagues broke the law:

Chani and Yaakov Katz, the parents of Ari Katz, one of the infants who died this week at a daycare in Jerusalem, discussed the sequence of events on Kan Reshet Bet radio and rejected criticism against the haredi public and the daycare management.

"We've known her for seven years. I have three children, and she has raised them all," Chani said about the daycare director. "To me, it's not a daycare. She's an aunt, a second mother to my children. I know her well, and we are like family. I would only send my children to her."

In other words, they're okay with the daycare center being illegal, and quite possibly consider "secular" daycares illegitimate by sharp contrast to the point they won't even send their children there? What an embarrassment.

One of the worst things about this tragedy is that it underlines a problem certain parents have, of abdicating their responsibilities and letting 3rd parties raise their children for them, no matter what the levels of trust and responsibility are. And that irresponsibility's now cost the lives of 2 innocents, yet the parents of one won't even admit it was wrong to send their child there, even if the center lacked operational permission from the city.
