The case against mother and daughter accused of assaulting toddlers may collapse: the blunder revealed in court
The case against the manager of a daycare center in Kfar Saba and her daughter, accused of assaulting toddlers, may collapse due to the defense's claim that police obtained security footage without a proper warrant. The court will decide whether the key evidence is admissible.
The case against Bracha Alon, manager of the 'B'gan shel Bracha' daycare in Kfar Saba, and her daughter Shani Becker, accused of assaulting toddlers, may collapse due to a police blunder. During a hearing today (Sunday) at the Petah Tikva Magistrate's Court, the defense argued that police obtained security footage from the daycare without a proper judicial warrant. According to the defense attorney, investigators accessed the camera system without a warrant covering the dates of the incidents. Investigator Shimon Boaron testified that initially they believed the footage pertained to a later period and sought a court warrant for the correct dates, but the defense claims the warrant was never actually updated. Judge Gil Gabbai must now decide whether to disqualify the key evidence. The charges describe a series of alleged assaults in September 2020, including hitting toddlers, pulling ears, shaking heads, and slapping. A decision is expected later.
