Daniel Breslauer – Unfortunately I think so, unless there was no adult aware – which is also possible… we should give the benefit of the doubt, but precautions MUST be made.

One more point: Don’t you think that the descriptions – 6 year old, candle, in order to learn, and chreidi – all present us with a great nisayon? (V’hamaivin yavin.)

Does it REALLY matter if the noy was “chreidi”, from a “Chabad” family, or that a six year old had lit a candle in his room to learn? A fellow Jew is in a very challenging and threatening situation. His parents are very likely being faced with having to make many decisions at rapid-fire speed. Does it matter? Would we not be adding merits if we simply poured out our hearts for this child as if it were our own?
