Jerusalem District Court Justice Moshe Ravid on Tuesday is expected to announce his decision regarding the state�s request to distance the Meah Shearim mom from her children during the duration of the trial. After reviewing the video footage from Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital, Justice Ravid stated �C�, the child who is the alleged victim, appeared like someone who came out of Auschwitz.

In a related matter, a Juvenile Court on Monday ruled the mother may see �C�, without social workers being present, and the court ruled such a meeting will take place on next week but the Jerusalem District Court decision expected Tuesday may result in different realities.

In Monday�s ruling, Justice Avital Chen ruled the mother would be accompanied by psychiatrist Dr. Kahn during the visit, chosen for the task by the family. The court ruled social services representatives needn�t be present during such visits, stating the mother does not pose a threat to her child. Justice Chen also announced the mother may speak with �C� on the phone as often as she pleases.
