Six Beit Aryeh Daycare Workers Arrested Over Alleged Abuse Caught on Camera

Police say security video prompted the arrests, with court detention requests pending.

Overview

  • Israel Police arrested six staff members at a supervised daycare in Beit Aryeh on suspicion of abusing babies and toddlers.
  • Investigators reviewed security-camera footage that allegedly shows physical violence against infants.
  • The suspects, residents of Beit Aryeh in their 20s to 40s, were transferred for interrogation.
  • The daycare director was detained for questioning, and police plan to ask a court to extend the detentions later on Monday.
  • The case adds to broader scrutiny of childcare safety, as a Netanya daycare aide was recently convicted of more than 60 abuses of infants.
