New York: "Abusive principal" of Satmar will be prosecuted

"Abusive principal" case: Although the family of the 10 year old boy who was beaten a month and a half ago by Melech Nathan Spitzer, administrative director of the Talmud Torah in Satmar Monsey refuses to cooperate in the investigation against him, he will next week attend court.

Principal accused in the past of assault and attempt to harm a helpless child - after severely beating a number of times, a child of 10.

Director hit the child hard on the left side causing his eye, ear and cheek of to swell. For reasons as yet unclear, the family refused to cooperate with the investigation.

Next Thursday will be held at the court a hearing on the case in which the manager will have to answer to the charges against him.

Since the incident, the director was fired from the Talmud Torah.
Rockland District Attorney's Office said this week that in order to progress in investigating the case the child will have to sign a document in which he witnesses the incident.

The deadline for signing this affidavit is on 22 April, 60 days after police received information about the attack. Incidentally, the police were forced to press charges against Spitzer on the basis of the investigation carried out and bruises that appeared at the time on the child's face.

If the statement from the child's family, represented by a lawyer, is not received, the charges against the manager may be canceled. Previously a police official raised the possibility that the parents are afraid to cooperate in the investigation as they are threatened by members of Satmar.
