YWN-Israel recently reported on a Ramat Shlomo family accused of injecting their ten children with insulin to mimic signs of diabetes to defraud Bituach Leumi into paying them money monthly.

The Jerusalem prosecutor has moved ahead with a criminal indictment against the 30-year-old mother, including charges of abuse of her children. The indictment was filed in the Jerusalem District Court.

One of the children, 18-months-old, who was hospitalized in Shaare Zedek Hospital in the capital, reportedly sustained irreversible brain damage as a result of the insulin shots.

The father of the children denies the allegations against them, calling them “baseless”. He has not been charged as of this time.
