Daas Yachid:
“Once we’re minding their business, I figured I’d take the next step.
Really, it’s wonderful that you brought up this issue. The more we are reminded, and the more we can discuss ideas to prevent it, the less likely it is to occur again.
I just don’t think it’s right to discuss the individuals in the story, and to assume the worst.”
Shkoyach DY! People forget that we are dealing with real people here. The fact that they were in the news does not make it okay to discuss it. According to halacha, it is assur to write news that is Loshon Hara, to read it, or to even believe it, and certainly not to repeat it or add to it.
