A 56-year-old Ashdod father was taken into custody on Shabbos after he R”L tried to poison his 10-year-old daughter with bleach.
According to a police official, the father asked the girl to wash her hands, and while she was doing it, he poured the bleach into her food on her plate. She explained that she “saw something bubbling in the food”.
Police were summoned and they took the father into custody and he was brought before an arraignment court, which extended his detention until Tuesday, July 16, 2019. No explanation for the father’s actions are given in the police report as the investigation towards preparing a criminal indictment against him continues.
Public defender David Katz told the press that his client is cooperating with police and he denies the allegations being made against him. According to him, the entire matter is premised on the fact he and his wife are getting divorced and he has no intensions of ever harming his daughter.

The article is stating how an Ashdod man tried poisoning his daughter as if it was a matter finale.
However, he has denied it, and there has been no conviction.
There are often many baseless accusations made during a messy divorce, yet your article chose to “convict” him and make him guilty.
That is a non-jewish trait, which is not in compliance with imho the Torah values.
(I had a friend who during a divorce was accused of molesting his daughter. He told me the only reason he is not in jail now is because he was with friends at that time in another state.)
wow! this is soooo terrible, that a father would try to poison his daughter. must be a sicko!
Bleach is not a poison. Poisons work systemically [via the bloodstream]. Bleach can “burn” tissues while ingested “on the way down”. To quote Wikipedia, “Generally speaking, ingestion of bleaches will cause damage to the esophagus and stomach, possibly leading to death”. Therefore, the headline is incorrect.
When will people learn that
THE JOB OF PARENTING IS NOT FOR EVERYBODY!!!
