2. in orthodox society it's hard to detect
ghostq   (07.19.09)
mental disable moters. go figue.
3. Sad
David ,   Haifa   (07.19.09)
Oy gevalt, let's take to the streets, attack some cops, burn some tires, rather than doing some introspection, accept that some of us are rotten sinners, and protect their children!
4. Do to them what these terrorists did to their children
Israel   (07.19.09)
but a hundred times more.
5. # 1 SPOT ON !
Avi ,   Israel   (07.19.09)
Exactly seems like a good cause to riot , surly the charideem will further riot in support of this monster. No doubt she will go to court clutching her bible, usually gets a few years of the sentence.
6. #1 #3 #5
shlomo   (07.19.09)
well as you can see there are no riots so maybe they do only riot when they are mistreated and villified (the mum last week) or when something really disturbs them and they think its wrong (shabbos)
7. Abuse for NINE YEARS...
Radka ,   Athens, Greece   (07.19.09)
...and NO ONE NOTICED?
8. Taliban Mum.
Vicky ,   Ashkelon Israel   (07.19.09)
She does not deserve the title of Mother. How many families are doing the same in their neigbour hood. sounds like a weird cult, that does not read the Tenach but just picks out the bits. Can't find anything about thou must beat thy kids and commit incest? Both are strict no, nos' Perhaps we should build a wall around Mere Sherim set up a court outside it and try them all one by one for child abuse, it seems the norm for them.
9. #7 - No, they live in a very closed community
Dorothy Friend ,   Tel Aviv   (07.19.09)
-- and they block the secular authorities from checking this kind of thing. There have been cases where the other parent (if only one is the abuser) went to the police and they were ostracised from the community for their troubles.
10. Lawyer's defence
Dorothy Friend ,   Tel Aviv   (07.19.09)
I find it really amusing, no other word for it, that all of a sudden these fundamentalists are using words like mentally ill, depressed, etc. Generally they frown upon psychiatric and psycological treatment.
11. What was the husband's sentence?
rebecca ,   Modiin   (07.19.09)
Why was he not accused of abuse of his wife if she had not been out of the house for 10 years?
12. what difference does it make if she's
gmail   (07.19.09)
religeous or not. she's a child abuser and needs to be punished. all of you are so quick to judge. are you saying that chilonim don't abuse their children?
13. #1 #5 you are wrong
Steve ,   NYC   (07.19.09)
Charaidim work with the police all the time against child molesters abuse etc. But the case of the mom in Mea Shearim is different as everyone understands that the whole story doesn’t make sense, and you don’t lock up a pregnant women until after she is indicted and anyway the whole story that the police say smells very fishy?????
14. Even if the mother is mentally sick
gabriela ben ari ,   jerusalem   (07.19.09)
she still needs to be disposed of. no better recuperation will come to the kids when they know the parents are finally jailed and off limits beyond threat. The kids will start believing in the system little by little with loving alternative custody. This should go for all parents who abuse kids, and unfortunately there are more than enough. These two should be punished, period, if court recommends parallel medical treatment : fine, never in place of jailing these monsters
15. #12, They get the same treatment but
Vicky ,   Ashkelon   (07.19.09)
the difference is that the rest of society do not come out in support of the perpetrator. And do not cause riots in their defence.
16. Baby machine
Talula ,   Israel   (07.19.09)
This 'mental' woman gave birth to 12children? Not one, not two, but TWELVE children. You'd think, like any other mother, she would give her life to protect them, kill anyone who hurts them or threatens them. No, not her! They were meal tickets to receive a nice hefty sum of notes from the government each month. Didn't anyone see she was supposedly mental? Either the system in this country is completely and utterly dafuk or someone is a lying their ass off. Throw her and her sick evil pig of a husband in prison, throw away the key and put the kids in a place where they can grow and develop without fear.

This is EXACTLY what has to stop. They live in Israel, the seculars support these rabid monsters. Their children need to be monitored and checked regularly, by SECULAR authorities whether they like it or not.
18. Where are the kids?
rebecca ,   Modiin   (07.19.09)
19. 'mother'
Magdalene   (07.19.09)
shocking- and nobody noticed for 9 years? No family, neighbors, rabbis- where were they? These people are so RELIGIOUS they forgot how to be human beings that care for each other.... s i c k society!
20. #19 - they notice, but they keep it to themselves....
Dorothy Friend ,   Tel Aviv   (07.19.09)
...after all they are the Chosen of the Chosen. No need to hang the dirty laundry out in front of the seculars.
21. #13 And you would know what exactly?
israel   (07.19.09)
you don't even live here. Mind your own business and concentrate on affairs in NYC.
22. Again child abuse
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (07.19.09)
We had some horryfying stories the last years . One , this murdered Rose , was'nt from a charidi family . Is there something wrong in their education ? Or are they all "ill" ? And the family members , teachers , neighboors and so , did'nt they see or suspect anything wrong ? They say that they fight child abuse , but we did'nt see anything of this in all those cases . Sad , very sad for those children .
23. Big Families
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (07.19.09)
Don't you remember this religious woman , a school director , who had more than 12 children , had a nice and happy family without any problems of this sort . Her story appeared here too .
24. incestuous relations... will that be included in secualr mar
Golan ,   SL   (07.19.09)
will incestuous marriages be included in secular marriages? Hey just because the Torah forbids it is no excuse... Torah also forbids gay relations between males. So... will incestuous relations be included? After all how can you legislate on love? What are we living in the 21st century?
25. #13 Haredim DO NOT work with the police
Golan ,   SL   (07.19.09)
that is part of the problem. The Haredim hide child abuse, alcoholism, drug use, and other shameful things because 1. it will make them less liekly to get married, 2. make their children and family members less likely to get married. 3. bring shame on the community or Rabbi 4. hurt their pride, especially when they try to lord over the secular sick-o's 5. "Toyrah Oybservant" makes them pure so how can they have child abuse, alcoholism, drug abuse, ect in their community? 6. the police are "Zionists spies" who lie about the Haredim because they are "Apikorsim."
