The following article is being written intentionally vague โ and for very good reasons. However, let there be no mistake: this is a serious and urgent warning. Nothing here is exaggerated.
Over the past several weeks, a disturbing situation has been unfolding in a specific upstate New York location involving hundreds of boys from a certain out-of-town Yeshiva. On weekends, this gathering has led to increasingly problematic โ and now dangerous โ behavior.
What began as unacceptable conduct has deteriorated into acts of illegal behavior and even violence, both among the boys themselves and others. This is no longer a case of “rowdy teens.” This has become a real law enforcement issue.
Police have thus far attempted to handle the matter with a light touch. Unfortunately, reliable intelligence now indicates that this situation is on the verge of escalation โ possibly within the next few days.
YWN is urging all parents (you know who you are) to take immediate action and ensure your sons are not anywhere near this location this weekend.
YWN is in direct contact with senior members of law enforcement, and we can confirm: there will be a large and highly visible response by multiple agencies. If your son is there and is involved in any way, he will be arrested.
There will be no second chances. No “warnings.” No “rachmanus.” If theyโre there โ theyโre going in the car. That simple. And that real. Expect time in a New York State Police barracks, followed by a Sullivan County jail cell.
Please, take this warning with the gravity it deserves. We are hoping for a peaceful and safe weekend in the Catskills โ but that outcome is now in your hands.

These out of town yeshivas might be able to learn some middos from the in town yeshivas.

Yeshiva World saving klal yisrael one idiotic article at a time
All from one yeshiva?
It’s all because the expired registrations..
Because during the 3 weeks, we are in bad disposition
From personal experience, even if you havenโt done anything wrong but are hanging around with kids who commit a crime, you can still be charged. In the case Iโm referring to, the driver was 18, and his friends were 16 and 17. He stopped at a shopping mall, and his three friends went inside to buy something. One of them shoplifted. A few miles later, the driver was pulled over without knowing why, but he was charged with shoplifting. It took a few months and $3,000 to sort everything out. The most the askanim could do was direct him to a good lawyer. Be forewarned.
If they are breaking the law, these boys should be arrested. We should make sure that the ashkanim don’t misuse their influence to let these Yidishe Nishamos go Rachmana Litzlon to the side. Let them learn the concept of reward and punishment. Prison could be a learning experience. Also, the parents would then take chinuch a little bit more seriously
Thank You @ YWN
Unfortunately, many in our circles have adopted the liberal tendency of permissiveness and “understanding”. Of “Its not your business” and “dont judge”.
This attitude has given rise to a sorry phenomenon of increasingly reckless and dangerous behavior on the part of children who “are just misunderstood”.
Enough is enough. Accountability is a real thing, too much rachmanus hurts the real innocent.
To all the silly comments @Shulemacher @Yid @Shawty
Remember to post an apology when all is said and done.
the point is, there has been misbehavior that is unacceptable, and it will cease being tolerated.
If you dont know where your child hangs out, find out. If you know he hangs out with unsavory characters, now is a great time to show him “al tisya’esh min hapuroniyos”.

Yid: That was one of the best comments I ever saw!
perfect! i donโt know, and therefore i donโt care.
Seems like there needs to be more supervision and worthwhile activities for these boys to do. Does this happen every year?
Are they involved in these activities while in yeshiva too? Maybe yeshivas need more oversight during the year.
