Spark: Maybe for some but for others, even MO is too restrictive. And it doesn’t necessarily come because of outside influences. In at least two cases, I could tell that these kids at a very young age (5 or so) were rebellious and could not be reined in. The parents did make a strong effort, but where the will is elsewhere, it seems there is no way to keep them frum. One acquaintance of mine who was chassidic said as a youth he played the part but never believed any of it. Nu, how do you deal with that?
