Attorney Gil Ichbom, representing the mother of the late Adva Weinblum, is interviewed on the Maariv podcast hosted by Danit Barbivai and claims that educational authorities should have identified the distress of the 13-year-old girl, who died as a result of ostracism. He calls for an end to blaming the victim and for removing bullies from the system instead of removing the affected child. Ichbom emphasizes that the responsibility lies not only with the parents who contact him as a lawyer after the disaster, but with the entire education system, which must internalize its responsibility. He appeals to the parents of the offending children and asks them to educate in values of love for others, and not to unconditionally support their children. Barbivai adds that alongside the school's responsibility, parents also have a responsibility to talk to their children and ensure they are not participating in ostracism. In conclusion, she emphasizes the personal example of adults towards those with different opinions.
