Parents of children at the Hatsev (ages 5-6) and Lemony (ages 3-5) municipal kindergartens on Liberia Street in the Dania neighborhood claim that their children are allegedly at risk because of a center for dealing with gambling addiction, which is located a few meters from the kindergartens.
"Last year, the house was rented to people with special needs," says a mother of one of the children in the kindergarten, adding, "And of course, there was no problem with that. This year we found out that the building is rented to an association that runs a gambling rehab center. 10 days ago I saw a suspicious person near the kindergarten. On Monday 6/1/24, a friend called me, whose daughter and my son are in kindergarten In people with drug, alcohol, and gambling addictions. It is understandable why we are very afraid that people who are dealing with such addictions will hang around our children. In general, it makes no sense to bring people who are dealing with such difficulties."
"Our children are at risk when they move from kindergarten to kindergarten"
According to the mother, a caraway garden is moving to a lemon garden with one attendant. "We are very afraid that the children may be at risk, when they move from kindergarten to kindergarten with only one chaperone. It would be irresponsible on our part if we didn't take care of it. I have no doubt that any parent would do the same."
On the website of the Dera association, all the services that the association provides are displayed: treatment of addictions to drugs, alcohol, sex and gambling. The treatment is done in stages when the patient is in the community or in a hostel. According to the parents, they were informed that the people staying at the home are being treated solely for gambling addiction and not for any other addiction, which means that the people staying at the home are not addicted to either drugs or alcohol. In addition, the house is also used for accommodation. The parents believe that even if it is only about dealing with gambling addiction, their children are still at risk and such a center should not be close to kindergartens.
The parents have opened a WhatsApp group, which will accompany their struggle and they are turning to officials in the municipality and in the Dania neighborhood so that they can help them protect the children.
The owner of the building Baruch Pibin: "The building is rented with all the required approvals"
The owner of the structure is Baruch Pibin, who strongly rejects the parents' claims. "The association has 50 branches throughout the country and operates them with the participation of the lottery. The building treats people with gambling problems, it has nothing to do with drugs or sexually transmitted diseases. I lease the building for 6 years, although not to the same association. This is done with the approval of the Ministry of Health and the municipality. I I don't understand the parents' concerns. Maybe someone wants to buy the place. I wouldn't put anything dangerous on my property, since I also have a granddaughter in the gardens in question."
Haifa Municipality's response:
Following a request from residents of the Dania neighborhood, an investigation was opened for improper use of a residential building and the matter is being examined by the building supervision division.
What a neglect.
Who raises children in Haifa?
(humor)
These are people who are addicted to gambling (and also want to make a change), not pedophiles. The complaints of the residents of the neighborhood are misplaced.
The Ministry of Death called the Ministry of Health that wipes out hundreds of thousands with the skorona vaccines is right for you?
Does the fact that they developed an addiction mean in your opinion that they are not good enough people? What is this nonsense? What a stupid question! It's humans! Anyone can fall in life, there's nothing to do!
I hope no one falls on you.
How evil are the hearts of rich people who, on the day of a fire or corona, want help - even from volunteer addicts.
What are they already doing that makes your elfs bother ya……
It is better for everyone to reveal to a therapist what he himself is hiding than to lash out at others to continue elevating yourself.
I grew up - your time has come
Ha. Improper use of a residential building. Did you understand?!
All Dania are criminals. It's like Sodom, you won't find even 5 righteous people on any street there. All Dania to get there on the way they trampled, ran over and stole.
As a stag swims on watercourses...
Word for word as a drone
I would like to express concern regarding the location of this type of center near toddlers. While there is compassion for people who need rehabilitation, I believe that the safety and well-being of toddlers, who cannot defend themselves, should be a top priority.
I would like to make sure that the matter is examined in accordance with the laws and procedures that protect the minors in the community.
Except for a bank account
What else interests you???
Addiction is a disease that can enter any home and destroy any family.
They are not interested in your kindergarten and neither are your children, they have cares and problems that you have not even dreamed of
Be human free love
Only the money interests you
Why raise children in Haifa is a terrible mistake, wake up dear parents.
The parents are right.
As usual, the hegemonic state thinks they deserve everything, a private person is allowed to rent his house to anyone. People with a gambling problem are sick people who need treatment, the best way is through rehabilitation in the community, they are not lepers.
What does hegemony have to do with it?
The most dramatic and hysterical people I've known, who raise their children like mom and dad's little princes and princesses and fight with the teachers if they dare to give their child a grade they don't see, tend to be bibists.
Gambling addicts are mostly normal people, working, managing families, most likely even one of the parents of the kindergarten children. Take a breath, it's not about hard drug addicts. It's people you'll never know what they're going through. And then they cry that people who have had difficulties in the past are unable to integrate into the community
Psychologically, why are gambling addicts better than people who are addicted to hard drugs?
There are also people who are addicted to hard drugs who work and manage families and no one knows about them. It's a myth that they're all dumped on some street corner with a syringe in hand.
Stop being a jerk, what do you have they don't endanger anyone, you make an elephant out of a fly
$puzzling…!!!@@@
"Treatment club" of any kind...! must/obliged/obliged... to be outside a rich "residential neighborhood" like "Korach and his congregants"... and/or a simple/poor/backward "community neighborhood", which does not need to fail even more...!@
Wow, how much evil there is as people. Good and blessed night to all.
Wow, how much evil there is in people! This is not an institution for pedophiles or dangerous criminals. Poor people whose whole lives are ruined and they really don't care about children in kindergarten. You will be surprised, most of them are perfectly normal people who live with a terrible burden.
