Indictment in Ariel Daycare Case; Oren Hazan and Dana Zarmon Respond on Air

In depth

An indictment was filed against the staff of the Ariel daycare, alleging a series of severe abuse incidents against toddlers. The son of Oren Hazan was in the daycare. Hazan burst into tears on air and attacked the caregivers. Dana Zarmon broke down on air and said the situation could end in disaster. He said they choked his children until they fainted.

Hazan described moments of horror and said it was evil he had encountered in a massacre. He said he did not recognize the signs in real time. Bar Cohen shouted: "What is the difference between a terrorist and an abusive kindergarten teacher?" and "You read this and fall apart."

The Ariel daycare abuse affair led to further remarks by celebrities, including Yimit Avramov, Shai Franco, Haim Pearlstein and Danit Livnat, whose children attended frameworks where abuse was exposed, among them the Ariel daycare and nurseries in Tel Aviv and Hod HaSharon. Zarmon said on air: "They are terrorists in every sense."
