Father of girl abused in Mitzpe Ramon daycare: "The prosecution did a shocking job"

The father of a girl who was abused at a daycare center in Mitzpe Ramon harshly criticized the prosecution over the plea deal it offered to three caregivers convicted of abuse, which includes only about nine months of community service. The judge rejected the deal.

Chai Weingert, the father of a girl who was abused at a daycare center in Mitzpe Ramon, attacked the prosecution in an interview with Ayelet 24 over the plea deal it offered to three caregivers convicted of abusing infants. The deal included only about nine months of community service, and the judge rejected it in an unusual step. Weingert described the severe impact on his daughter, who he said became violent as a result of the abuse, and the psychiatric treatment he himself is undergoing. He claimed that the indictment contained errors in the children's names that were not corrected for a year and a half, and that in the last hearing, 'incidents' were described instead of offenses. The father added that the daycare teacher mocked him in court, and that the defense attorney told him to keep posting on Instagram. He called on parents to keep their eyes open and be there for their children.
