ChinuchAtHome

 

My son Eliel has been kidnapped. 

We were persecuted in England because we are Jews, so we came here to make

Aliyah.  We got messed about with delays, lost files from the local ministry

here since August 2009. But thankfully have started our Aliyah process a

fresh with Nefesh Benefesh. 

 

When we left England, I was in a wheelchair. On the way, we had to get on a bus. The bus driver said ''We can't have you on this bus, you have a wheelchair....'' So I sat there, I asked Hashem, ''What do we do ? we have to go to Israel, we

have no humane life here we have to go , we have to go... ''

Hashem healed me to stand up ... So I did. 

I said to the bus driver ''you take my wheelchair, and put it in the luggage''

 

I had been in the wheelchair for 14years fourteen years and 3 months three months.  My son and I had davened for a miracle, this was only one of them. 

 

I came here as a widow for 6 years. And now had our Chuppah in Chanukah on the Kotel steps garden. We have many photo's...  So I have a husband, and Eliel has an Abba. 

 

We live in Ramot Dalet Mintz 7 apartment 4, and my son goes to Torah

classes by Rabbi Sprecher everyday, Rabbitzen Goldstein, Rabbi

Goldstein and Rabbi Ari Kahn. He goes to the zoo and meets home

schooled friends, and goes to Ramat Raziel and Liberty Bell park and

Beit Shemesh and friends homes and friends come to his home to learn

with children his own age. 

He was getting privately tutored to learn everyday talking Hebrew, as he already davens in Ivrit...

 

Thursday the 22nd of April, we leave Ramot Dalet, get on a bus, and travel to

the swimming pool where his Abba takes him every week to improve his

swimming he has a level 3 certificate. After the swimming, we go to

the old city to Aish HaTorah to learn an hour of Torah by Rabbi Ari

Kahn who knows Eliel well since coming to Israel.

 

We come home, have supper, say our night prayers, go to sleep. 

 

23rd of April , 03.45AM in the morning, before morning prays are

possible. We are woken by sounds outside our door of our Apartment. A

key goes into the lock... the door is opened, and six police enter

our home...

 

We are told they must speak to us, with all their

uniforms and guns , we thought these police were for real. We thought,

'oh there must be some emergency, maybe a family member is in hospital

or something...'

 

They drive my son and I in a police car to a

police station , later to be revealed as being situated at Neve Yakov.

My husband was parted from us , and driven in another car. There were

three police cars. One non marked white.

 

April , 04.00AM in the morning , we are sitting in the police station, 

on the first floor, wondering why we are there. My son Eliel sitting

next to me on a bench, sleeping on my shoulder, and we are guided by an

armed woman soldier with a large fire arm. I ask why are we here, she

says she cant say. That the woman in there... and she pointed to a room

would tell us.

 

23rd of April , 04.30AM in the morning, my husband is brought upstairs

and he sits with us for a while. We are asking each other why we are

here, and he said they would not tell him anything. 

 

23rd of April , 05.00AM in the morning , a police man says my husband

Moshe can go home. I say , ''take Eliel home and put him back to bed''

The police man looked at me, and shook his head ''no''. 

 

Moshe, my husband said later, the police drove him to mintz 7 and parked in

the street. They then , asked him to go inside home, to get his Tudat

Zahut. My husband said, ''I have my driving license on my, that has my

Tudat Zahut on it, '' The police said, ''you don't need to go in

then'' The police drove my husband back to the police station.

 

Friday 23rd of April , 05.30AM in the

morning, My husband Moshe Eliels step father, came back upstairs. And

we sat for a short while. Maya a police woman, asked to speak with my

husband in her office. Later Moshe told me, Maya said ''we have to

question the child about possible child abuse'' 

 

Maya a woman police person, then came into the hallway , and then says they need to question my son Eliel. Take him away, to talk to psychiatrist. He is 8 years old, he is Eight years old.  I said '' I want to see a

lawyer, Maya said, ''we can't get you a Lawyer''. I said this is

illegal. A police man said, ''we have a paper''. I said ''this paper is

not legal''. The policeman said, ''its the law'' I said, ''this is

not Torah, you do not take a child away from its mother'' Maya said,

''we will take him by force'' I said ''this is illegal'' Maya said,

''look, you can take this paper, go this this address, and when they

stamp it, in 3 hours you can have your son returned, you can get a bag

of his delivered , go to this address, we will take him by force'' 

My husband said, ''they will take him by force if you don't let them have him, we can get this paper stamped,''

 

I told my son we love him and will fight for ever to make sure he gets

home. He cried, ''no not on Shabbat! another day! not Shabbat! he cried

like someone was ripping his heart out '' they pulled him away. I said

''I love you, we will fight and fight and never stop fighting to get

you back!''

 

The police drove us home. I packed a bag of Eliels

belongings, his Sidur, ball, book with a note in it saying we love him

and will never stop fighting to get him back, a photograph of our

Chuppah, his mouth wash, tooth paste, tooth brush, blanket, some food,

fruit a juice drink.

 

We left and went to the address, a family

court in the Jerusalem Municipalitat Court by Giv'at Sha'ul they told

us to take the paper and his bag to. This address, was the wrong

address, they weren't even open. But a guard and a lawyer on the

doorstep , looked at our paper and told us this was the wrong address.

 

We went by taxi to the russian compound, where another court is, this was

the correct address. The lawyer said this, The person in their working

said, there is no judge today, come back Sunday. My husband Moshe paid

the lawyer we had met 1000shekel, and the Lawyer got us to see an

emergency judge, but not one that works in the juvanil court. 

 

The judge, gave us a court order, that the bag of Eliels belongings would

be delivered to him before Shabbat. And that we would go to the juvanil

court on the Sunday 25th April. 

 

We went back to the police station in Neve Yakov and brought a large bag we had for Eliel. The police first said ''we can not do anything'' we said

''you have to , this court order says so''. Eventually , we saw the bag of Eliels belongings, being driven off in a police car, by a police man to send

the bag to Eliel. We went home, I lit the Shabbat candles , and prayed

for my son that he would be safe. We went to Shul, without Eliel. He

always loved all the other children there, all the davening , and the

snacks they would give as a gift on Shabbat. We went to a friends home

for our Shabbat meal, and talked and talked. 

I was just in shock, I couldn't believe, my son , has been taken away. 

 

The paper, the lawyer said, had written on it ''the boy was naked and had

no clothes on, and was in poor condition'' We said ''what a lie!''

Why did they have to lie??? The paper said, that England had said, I

had ran away from them. That they wanted my son taken out away from

home. But I never received such a document. And anyway I rolled away in

my wheelchair then...

 

Shabbat morning, we got up, went to Shul, davened.

Eliel always loved going to 'his' Shul. He gets to put the ''bells on

top of the Torah scroll''

 

We went to our friends again afterwards and talked...

 

Sunday 25th April 2010, the lawyer rang to say that the one o'clock court date was changed for next Tuesday 27th April. 

 

25th April 2010, I ring emergency services, the police, are shocked, I

did not call earlier, when I tell them it was last Friday my son got

kidnapped. 

 

The table is turned. The message sinks in... It's a long , time , for an 8 year old boy to be seperated from everyone he knows. 

He's never spent this long away from his family before. ..

 

The police car full sirens blaring, drive me to the same police station, where they took my son Eliel. 

At the police station, they typed my sons name in, the computer, and then, they realised, it was them that did it. 

 

But the message sunk in. They refused to make a report for me. I was call number 106, on the emergency services for that day. 

 

But they still had to listen, they said I should talk to ''Maya, there next

day....'' The next day we were due in court. They gave phone numbers

and names of the boss there. 

 

So , I forgot my bus pass, so the police had to drive me home, with full

sirens blaring again. So I had to wait for a lift home. I waited and waited,

and THEN I saw a police man, who had been there on Friday, when they had take

my son Eliel.

 

My eyes glued to his. My eyes, never left his eyes. He remembered me, I

remembered him. Someone told him something. He was on the telephone

then. For quite a while...

 

I finally got a lift home. They said their 'thankyou very much's,'' for having to drive me home. 

 

That they thought was something unimportant. 

 

I walked through the door, and the phone is ringing. My son Eliel,

is then talking to me, on the telephone, with a social worker, called

~Tamar, they are getting him to phone me, to try and gather some sort

of story , they can use, as to why they kidnapped him.

 

The police man in the police station, I suspect he phoned them, and told them I was crying 'kidnap'. 

Evening, we meet a friend, who talks to us with a Rabbitzen, and then the whole

story, given to them. That I never received any court order in England.

That I used to be in a wheelchair. I used to be a widow. We decided to

come to Israel to live forever. 

 

Tuesday 27th April 2010, 

We meet with our new lawyer and the social workers and a mediation

head. Our court hearing is cancelled again.... My lawyer agrees for

Eliel to stay under observation for 2 months, [they wanted 3] and then

he should be returned. So my lawyer could make them happy get more

information and then investigate for a small while. 

 

Then lots of communication going on between Yad L'Achim, and my son is calling me a couple times a week from their

phone, with social worker present, and most probably recording the

conversation. Analysing me, and my son. 

 

We had further communication with Yad L'Achim and after Shabbat Lag B'Omer I

went to Meron and davened all night by the Grave of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai in Meron on Lag BaOmer.

 

The next day, I got a call, that my lawyer, was going to court on that Sunday.  I got a call from Eliel and Tamar the social worker who monitors all the

phone calls, I asked her, ''by the way is it Neve Michael where Eliel

is staying at in Pardes Hanna, ?'' she said ''oh , but you cant come

today....'' So it was Neve Michael where he was. I had looked up childrens homes on the internet for Pardes Hanna the SS had indicated.

 

We could have easily jumped a cab streight there from where we were. It

was not that far. I found out the judge had yelled and screamed at the

social services and the police. They had no court order to produce from

England, of which they claim ''he said they had papers'' and they won't

say who ''he'' is. And the court order here, in Israel wasn't made

untill three days after having kidnapped my son Eliel on the 26th.

 

I had to go home and be home to receive a social worker home visit from

our end in Ramot Dalet, later in the week, so she could see our lovely

home, and environment of which Eliel is accustomed to , not sleeping in

a dormetry, or having a violent boy who kicks and hits children when

he doesn't get what he wants. And not having and Torah learning since

he's been there. 

 

It's a drop of centre, temporary , emergency shelter for abused children,

untill they decide where they will go, not supposed to be a kidnapping

racket place , which makes loads of money, from the government and

charities, and gives the children very little. They get 5000shekel a

month per child from the government, they get the extra 3000from

charities worldwide. 

 

Yet the children sleep in shared dorm , no

access to their own toys, unless parents, friends or relatives bring

them, broken bikes, holes in a ball they kick around, and call fun. A

cheap Tshirt to wear. And the only things they're learning in what they

call a ''boarding school'' is maths and Ivrit. 

 

I'm disgusted that they can legalise kidnap, but not deal with real dangers such as land mines in Israel. 

 

I went home on the bus. Monday the 3rd May 2010, my lawyer said he wanted me to go to Neve Michael see my son , and confirm these scratches and bruises and marks, my son Eliel has suffered after being there. And

confirm that he's really unhappy being there and wants to go home. Our

lawyer had had contact with the Shirly Garson , the welfare officer who

signed the court order , 3 days after, Eliel had been kidnapped. And

held as ransom, to find out information , to twist it and turn it, so

they can make money, lots of money, out my son Eliel, just by him

sleeping there. With all their lies.

 

Tuesday the 4th May 2010. 

The meeting was going to be cancelled while we were boarding the train, as

they were not happy that we were coming in the afternoon, and not in

the morning. But it takes 3 1/2 three and a half hours to travel there

, by train or bus. 

 

We turned up , we saw my son. He had scratches on him, a boy

had being pushing him over, and he only has a broken bike to ride

there, that he fell off. He's not happy there. He keeps saying this

there, and on the telephone. My friend came, with her son , who is

Eliels best friends, this was their reports-

 

The next message is from Hamnuna Eliels friend.

 

I saw when I came there, everytime I wanted to say something to him, they try listening to what ever I tried saying to him. I saw scratches and

I hear on the video that they tried to say it was chocolate but it was

not. I saw it was scratches not chocolate. And when we left, they said

go I only saw him for a second, and then they said to his mother to go,

and he was screaming and crying and holding onto his mother, and they

picked him up by his hands and arms and when I was waiting there, I was

waiting for a really long time to see him, I felt bad when he was

screaming and crying and he screamed and cried for a long time. there

was a man stronger and bigger than Eliel and the woman they picked him

up and put him in a room and locked him in.

 

I saw a broken bicycle, Eliel told me that the bicycle he was given was

broken and chain was broken and the pedals were broken and the handels

and the seat, and the gears all broken. When I was walking around I

saw, a boy bigger than me, chasing a girl tinier than this boy, I saw a

broken ball, and the kids were kicking it and it had holes in it. Black kids and white kids were there. The tiny boys were wearing sandals, the big

boys were wearing shoes, only one boy was wearing tzitit not all the

boys were wearing kippah and none had peyes. The girls weren't wearing

socks, tights, they were uncovered like non jewish girls. I saw girls

and boys asking what they can play with, they can't do anything without

asking. I saw girls and boys dragging stuff and holding stuff they were

working, Eliel said after we left on the telephone, that they took his

money that I gave to him to have.

This is Chana Kohler the mother of Hamnuna next message-

 

When we came there, we were asked to wait outside the locked gate, untill we were escorted in, then they said they only allowed the mother and

father in , to have a meeting with them alone. We were told to wait in

the garden for a very long time, while we were waiting, I saw some

children happy to find a beat up broken soccer ball, and start playing

ball with it. I saw a three year old boy, that looked like a three year

old boy, sitting and crying there, that he doesn't want to go with a

lady there. I saw a little girl running away from a boy which looked as

if she was trying to get away from him , I saw very little supervision

as the kids walked about the premises. With staff that I saw leaving

getting into their cars, with tight pants and open tank tops, and no

hair coverings. The men without Kippah or Tzitit ,some of the kids

were dressed with kippot srugas , some with no kippah at all, and a few

with black with black kippot. Some of the girls had skirts some had

pants, I saw a van drive in with two arab adults filled with kids in

the back. I saw a staff member, playing Rap Music, and dancing like

she was in a Club trying to get the kids to dance with her as she was

leaving. Then they said that only Hamnuna could come in to see

Eliel and not me, that I was not allowed to. I asked Yael how Eliel was

doing, she said that it's extremely difficult for him, especially

because of the language difference. They first only allowed Hamnuna to

go in, and then a short while after, they said I could come also. 

 

The speach was very controlled at the meeting. With them stopping the

conversation, and interfearing with the flow of it. Eliel told me that

he was unhappy there, and he didn't like it at all. When we said we can

leave Hamnuna's lego for him, so he could play with something else and

have something for himself, the three people supervising the meeting

all jumped in saying we have lego's he doesn't need it. When I asked

him, if he would like them. He said, 'Yeah, all their legos are broken' They

cut the meeting very short, and wanted us to leave very quickly, Eliel

said he doesn't want us to leave and he wants to come home now. And

why do we have to wait next time possible would be a week and a half

from the day , Thursday, which is after the next court hearing. Aviv

said,' should we use some force?' Then he told the mother to do

something to stop Eliel from clinging on to her. Sophia said 'what do

you want me to do?' then they pulled Eliel off [A large man called

Aviv and a woman] and brought him to a sound proof room saying he'll

calm down soon. Eliel was screaming and fighting not to be parted from

his mother the whole time. 

 

 

This is the file of the whole meeting with Eliel being recorded. 

The meeting with Eliel , listen to everything, one hour and forty seven

minuites. [VORC001 4th may 2010.mp3 THIS FILE URGENT VORC001] The

end is heart breaking, his screams and cries of fright and sadness,

like someone is ripping his soul out from him, as he is forcfully torn

away physically from me, who he's clinging onto , forced away by two

adults at this institution which they call boarding school. But realy

it is a drop off place for children taken away. Now we have 4

witnesses to confirm what they saw regarding this last point , they can

confirm visualy what they saw to match up , which what you will hear on

this file.
  

 

Then we travelled home by train. And they got Eliel to call me on the phone, he said all the gifts we had given him, had all been gone through. And they took Hamnunas money gift he had saved up and given him. And the chewing gum.

 

We got home by train.

I saw my friend Chana Kohler and we talked about the neglected state all the children are in up there. 

 

Wednesday the 5th May 2010 I attend a mediation with the Rabbanim ,Yad L'achem, and the social welfare group. They have never seen any court order, they said, from England, they never saw one, and they don't know when it was issued. They just said ''but HE said they had papers'' but when asked who ''he'' is, they don't say. So the conclusion of the meeting

was there was going to be a court date, and the Rabbanim yelled at the

social worker who was deciding when I could see my son, ''it's not up

to you to decide, when the mother see's her son, and her son see's his

mother, its for a judge!'' 

 

They'd also been yelled at by a judge, as they didn't have a court order from England, they didn't have a 'starting point', they knew nothing about my son or me. 

 

Thursday the 8th May 2010-

Nira a social worker from Ramot Dalet, comes to my home, to view, our lovely home. 

 

Friday the 7th May 2010- I get a call early afternoon, from a social worker

Shirly Braslav, ''you can go and drop a bag off for Eliel a package for

Shabbat'' So my friend Chana and her six children , who Eliel had

asked to see, and so had they, we got a taxi and went to Pardes Hanna.

Baruch Hashem, this is all Hashem, the second we stepped foot in the

door, of our friends we'd made in Pardes Hanna, we were told we had one

minuite untill lighting time. We lit. 

 

We were all very tired. The

children are 9 months 2, 4, ,5, 7 , and 9 in age. But we brought

food, for Shabbat and gifts for Eliel for shabbat. 

Our hosts we stayed with , could not believe these police and social workers, knowing nothing about us, yet taking a child, who keeps saying he wants to be home. 

 

Shabbat the 8th May 2010-
We went to Shul, and they mentioned Eliel in the

prayers, for him to come back home. After Shul and eating, we then

walked to Neve Michael. Aviv spoke through an electric intercom , saw

who we were, and electronically let us in. We walked, and came to the

building. Mazal a woman who had pulled Eliel away from me on the last

visit, took one look at us, then called Aviv, like he was some body

guard who had to protect her from two mothers, a woman friend, a baby,

9 months, a 2 year old, a 4 year old, a 5 year old, and a 7 and 9 year

old children a real live Turtle, and a small terrier pet dog. All come

to see Eliel and bring him treats, as he doesn't get them there for

Shabbat.

 

Aviv and switched on lights electrically , on Shabbat.

Then , he would not talk, not take the bag, after a three and half hour

journey, and then electrically, telephoned the police, on Shabbat, to

have us removed. Shabbat Shalom!

So the police came. Car number

13124m , the two men police who drove a car on Shabbat, asked us to

leave, and did not listen about the bag. We had permission to give my

son presents, gifts, food, treats for Shabbat. 

 

So we went back to our friend. I was exhausted and rested. Went to Shul ,

davened Mincha. We prayed again for Eliel. That he may be safe and return home

safely.

 

We stayed untill Sunday morning. 

 

2010- In the morning, we took a taxi to Hadera and then a bus to

Telaviv and then Jerusalem. In Jerusalem we spoke with Rabbitzen Cohen

in mayasharim she was disturbed by what we reported about the children

on Shabbat at the Neve Michael, no Kippot. Later we all went home.

 

the 11th May 2010- At 2pm we meet with our Lawyer, he see the video

evidence of the social worker Nira, out right lying to me, and saying

the Judge, and my Lawyer agreed, that I would see my son and my son

would see his family once a week. We disgussed things, and made some

arrangements, for next Sunday when the court hearing will be.

 

the 12th May 2010- I see Rabbi Sprecher. Who taught Eliel Torah since

August 2009. I said how Eliel keeps saying he wants to come home. And

Rabbi Sprecher, wants to go and see him, and he says Eliel should keep

saying to these people I want to go home, when am I going home. 

 

Since the judge ruled that Neve Michael has only got untill 23rd

June to analyse my son. That is the cut off date. We have video

evidence of Eliel crying clearly saying he wants to go home and does

not want to stay there at all. We have video evidence of Eliel saying

he told the psychologist he does not like it there and wants to go home

and then the psychologist saying , the opposite to Eliel saying to him,

oh yes you like it here , and you want to stay here. We have also

evidence of the incident , Eliel saying to the psychologist , I dont

want to be here I want to go home , and then the psychologist saying ,

yes you like it here you want to stay. Backing up exactly what Eliel

said to me over the monitored controlled phone calls with Tamar the

social worker. 

 

We have evidence the psychologist has told Eliel to copy picures

using that as evidence against him, and we know that it is missing

things in the pictures, Eliel confirmed this on record. 

I spoke with other mothers who's children are Neve Michael and are

working functional mothers who are fighting to get their children back

for years and their children were taken for no apparent reason, except

for lack of extended family and backup , and social standing. 

Please help. 

 

Please pray.

 

Please do anything you think would be beneficial. Maybe you could suggest

something. The recording of Eliel, being pulled away from me against

his own will. He sounds like his soul is being ripped away from him. If

we can meet in person I can show you the video of Eliel crying his eyes

out to come home, and the physical abuse pictures since he's been

there, by the way , he was in hospital with a suspected broken leg,

because a boy called Omer pushed him over, and has been physically

attacking him. 

 

He's only 8. Eight.

 

16th June 2010 the judge rules , Eliel is to come home in a week and a half. That we must see a social worker, everymonth for a year, and see a psychologist to make sure Eliel is 'safe' in our 'home' and that he's attending his school , and judo etc... Today the SS did try to have him for another month and half. My lawyer said, that could mean then a year , then another year, this could drag on and on... So Baruch Hashem, We have been told Eliel is to be home in just over a week. He was told the 23rd last court case.

The press ought to know what is going on to manipulate society to have their 'perfect ' state or what ever you want to call it. What we need is to build the third temple. And alot more. I'm sure if we all daven hard enough alot can happen. Change , things will change. 
  

 

Shalom
