Abuse charges expected against parents who chained child to shower
A man and a woman accused of chaining their 7-year-old daughter to a shower in the central town of Lod and leaving her to go to the beach will be indicted on Monday on child abuse charges, Hebrew media reports.
In mid-August, police broke down the door of their apartment where the girl was found tied up and bearing signs of severe, long-term neglect.
The parents were arrested last month and remain in police custody.
