We have no idea about how the world functions. May be this precious neshama, who is now in a place that we can’t even imagine, was taken in this way beyond words, so that the universe itself should not all be destroyed. We all are responsible. When I was a child, people would look after people with problems, be them bad middot or psychiatric issues. May the family of precious Leiby be consoled among all mourners of Zion and Yerushalaim.

So many of the posters are real Tzaddikim as evidenced by the utter devastation expressed and tears poured out. I feel so inferior in that I have not yet shed tears (I wish I would), but I can say that I feel so strongly that my life cannot go on as before – how can I enjoy a Shabbos meal when Leiby’s parents are unable to eat through tears and grief? Until the Levaya happens, I feel like I am going to become crazy with such dread about how much pain will be felt at the Levaya and Kevurah. I can’t focus on anything else. Please Hashem – have mercy on the Kletzky family and on all Yiddishe children so that we may all not ever know grief again.

I read a report that on Tuesday night a group of 20 Pakistanis came to BP to volunteer and join the search.

Both evil and good can be found in any – and every – group.

Please everyone think, really think. he begged his mother to let him walk home alone. It is very, very possible that he knew this man and was abused by him and that he was forced him to to make this unusual request from his parents. Why would this boy walk towards 18th avenue and not walk down 13th avenue like he was supposed to? Every kid in Boro Park knows all about 13th Avenue. That is the main shopping street for food, candy, ice cream, pizza, etc. especially when the camp is on 12th Avenue. He can count for sure.

In addition, if the parents didn’t think he was capable of maneuvering his way from the camp to the meeting point there is no way they would have agreed. It seems that he was pushed to set this up and then walked to the meeting location with this man, waited for him at the corner and then followed him to his car.

Remember, he is a quiet respectful kid. He is an easy target for a pedophile. Maybe even someone that works in the camp.

Lechaim120, I am so sorry I don’t mean to be rude and ignore you, it’s just that I am crying. Sometimes we have to do suboptimal things and I have myself left babies unattended even though I was not 9yr old, it’s just that sometimes one can not do everything perfectly and one tries to use common sense. You did very well to point out to the girl, but someone grabbing the baby carriage and running away (why?) is not the main danger: most of terrible stories do not come from “strangers” but from people who have been following us, waiting for the right moment, etc. I am sorry but I am really heartbroken. Also because I can’t help thinking that Leiby went willingly with this person that deceived him with some excuse, then we don’t know what happened, perhaps this person got scared by the manhunt? It is a double tragedy if details will be confirmed.

The outpouring of tefilos from the community was outstanding, as was all the “no speaking loshon hara” pledges. Mi k’amcha yisroel? Unfortunately, in this case, Hashem said “No”. May Leiby’s pure neshama be a kapora for klal yisroel. But, please keep the momentum going! There’s another Jewish boy that’s lost and his parents have been suffering for years. PLEASE daven passionately for Gilad ben Aviva (Schalit) so that another tragedy may be averted and he may return speedily to his home!
