      Police Raid Hareidi Home after Baby’s Death


      Police raided a home in the Meah Shearim neighborhood of Jerusalem one day after a baby living there died of the flu, the hareidi news outlet Kikar Hashabat reports. The baby’s parents belong to a sect known for the distinctive dress of its female members, who wrap themselves in shawls similar to the burka worn by some Muslim women.

      Police reportedly arrived at the home in order to check reports that a second child in the same family was ill with the flu and had not been treated. However, when they arrived they discovered that the family’s children had been taken to an undisclosed location.
