Police on Thursday morning, 8 Iyar, arrested a chareidi woman after an 18-month-old boy in her care sustained a head injury and was taken to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital. The child is reported to be in moderate condition. Police became involved after the hospital informed them of the incident.
The child was in the woman’s care and according to her, at some point on Thursday morning she discovered a change in the child’s response, summoning an ambulance.
Hospital officials fear the child may have been injured by violence. Police are also probing the possibility the child fell and was injured by an object and the woman then summoned an ambulance.
Police later in the day announced the woman, 54, a resident of Yerushalayim, was arraigned and remanded for three additional days.

unfortunately as the charadi community grows in number it also is developing problem people….
Please be mispallel for Chaim Aryeh Leib ben Rivka – apparently, the baby was either dropped on his head or was injured through shaken baby syndrome. It is a very serious injury.
