Parents say the Adass Israel Girls’ School in Elsternwick paid for its principal, Malka L.., to return to Israel after molestation allegations emerged against her last week. She left Melbourne 24 hours after being investigated and sacked by the school’s board.
Mr Rosenbaum said: “People are devastated because even the mere allegation is something which goes to the very core of the principles and the morals and ethics which this school intends to inculcate in its students.
“Certainly we have the best interests of those affected at the forefront and we are fully cognisant of the other issues, legal and otherwise, which go with that,” he said.
“It is small community, a close-knit community. Not only are the children with one another at school but their parents are invariably close friends.”
Mr Rosenbaum said neither he nor the school, to the best of his knowledge, had spoken to the former principal since she left.
“I don’t know first hand but there is popular rumour around that she went back to her home of origin,” he said. [theage]
what is the solution, so this wont happen again. how do we protect our children. the answer must be education.
This woman is totally sick!!!!! She is still in denial.
She should be locked up for life!! Disgraceful woman.
apparently she had done this in israel also, before relocating to australia
She went back to where she was from. This should be publicized in all papers and mosdos. All one needs is for her to go to a diffrent mosod/community and continue there. Everybody should be notified exactly who she is-loud and clear!
Yet again Israel rolls out the red carpet for another “alleged perpetrator” lets try to keep them above the carpet not under.
Sick story
