Principal of Satmar cheder arrested "brutally beat a child"

Director of the Talmud Torah of Satmar in Monsey, accused of beating a 10 year old boy, and was detained for questioning.

Administrative Director of Talmud Torah of Satmar Monsey Melech Spitzer, accused of assault after beating a child of 10 a number of times.

Newspaper The Journal News exposed the affair, saying that Spitzer's the administrative director of the cheder and hit the child hard on the left side which caused the eye and ear and cheek of the child to swell.

Spitzer was charged with third-degree assault and attempt to harm a helpless child and fourth trial date set in April.

Spitzer declined to comment, but hired a lawyer Licata James, who served as chief defense Rockland County.

Indictment of Reb Spitzer became the talk of the haredi concentrations in New York, and was received with satisfaction.

One of the teachers of the Talmud Torah of Satmar in Borough Park, who desires to remain anonymous, said, "This is a serious problem, unfortunately there are many teachers who believe beat and beat children sometimes until they bleed, they trust that our public is not going to tell the police, because if a parent informs, he is banned, and the children cannot be accepted into any institution of Satmar, not girls and boys.

" Lithuanians Talmud Torah, do not punish with blows, only Talmud Torah of chassidim, I'm very much afraid that after this incident, there are more cases and parents will not be afraid to inform on the teacher who hits," said the teacher.
