Netanyahu says he’ll push bill to toughen punishment against abusers of toddlers

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he intends to immediately advance legislation to toughen punishment against abusers of toddlers.

He makes the statement in response to public outrage over the latest case of abuse at a daycare. Police today arrested the owner of a Ramle daycare center where four assistants have been detained on suspicion of abusing children under their care.

“Abuse of helpless toddlers is an unforgivable crime,” he says. “We will not accept this… phenomenon and we’ll fight it with all tools at our disposal.”
