A 30-year-old resident of Dimona, known to the welfare system, is suspected of giving birth at home about two months ago without reporting to the authorities, failing to provide medical care for her daughter, and neglecting her. According to the suspicion, she left the infant alone at home claiming she went shopping. Police who arrived at her home found cocaine on the table. The mother is suspected of physical and psychological abuse of a helpless person, drug possession, neglect of a minor, and leaving a child without proper supervision. Her detention was extended last week, but the court ordered her release under restrictive conditions after the infant was removed from her custody. Judge Eran Tzabari noted that the mother suffers from dual morbidity and is known to the mental health system. The suspect has other children who were previously removed from her custody.
