The state has backed down and the children are finally back home where they belong. My hands are still shaking from the exhaustion of this fight but I am relieved that justice arrived for this family. We will stay watchful to ensure this mistake never happens again.
In the middle of the night a person representing the State welfare office comes into the cell together with uniformed policemen and, ignoring the mother\'s pleas, ignoring the hysterical crying of the children aroused from their sleep, forcibly removes the 2 older children from their mother. They don\'t explain what is happening, or why. The children are taken to a stranger\'s home in the middle of the night and given into forced \"adoption\" for an unspecified period of time.
At this point you are starting to wonder: maybe, you think to yourself, this is a history lesson about anti-Semitism in some European country during the Inquisition Or maybe this is a story of a survivor of a Soviet gulag No, dear friend, this story is quite recent. It is fresh off the wires, and it took place 3 days ago in the only Jewish State in the world.
Sharon STOP the Prosecution of women and children NOW!
The emails I receive from families facing these midnight removals are heavy to read and impossible to ignore. I am exhausted by the silence from the authorities but I am not stopping my work to bring these stories to light.

This is completely heartbreaking. No child should be taken in the middle of the night like that. My heart breaks for this family.

Stop the abuse of power. Those poor kids are traumatized for life now. Who authorized this madness?
