The latest news about the Toldot Aharon mother who was arrested because of starving her 3 - year - old son half to death:

- The Toldot Aharon community asked a private cleaning company to clean up the garbage in the streets. Mayor Nir Barkat is punishing the entire haredi community by not cleaning up the Mea Shearim as well as surrounding neighbourhoods.

- The mother was realeased from jail and is now under house arrest. She is spending her house arrest at the Frohlich family in Ge'ulah (next to Mea Shearim). The secular paper YEDIOT ACHARONOT is reporting about a bail money of 400.000 Shekels (apporx. 100.000 Dollar).

- The mother told everyone visiting her how much she suffered in jail. She was put together with criminals such as a woman who tried to kill her husband. This woman threatened the Toldot Aharon mother to kill her as well.
