Parents demand greater oversight after daycare worker indicted for abuse

Parents across the country are protesting against the Education Ministry following the indictment of a daycare worker accused of physically abusing dozens of toddlers under her care.

At over a dozen cities across Israel, protesters take to the streets to demand increased oversight of early education centers, including mandatory background checks for all child care-workers, and harsher punishments in cases of negligence or abuse.

At a protest in Afula, parents are holding signs reading: “We the people demand justice for our children!”
