“over 25 frum kids from brooklyn, Monsey, Lakewood, Long Island, LA and other frum areas.”
I’m not saying it is, or isnt a problem, but, this statement proves nothing except, over 25 frum kids from brooklyn, Monsey, Lakewood, Long Island, LA and other frum areas (under the age of 18 – I infer this from the comment about Utah) are being treated for addiction. Do you have any idea how many frum kids (under the age of 18) there are in the frum areas you mentioned,. Lets say there are 25,000, 25 kids out of 25,000 is .001. If 1/10 of 1 percent of kids are being treated for addiction, is that an exploding crisis? Certainly to their families it is, but, to the community at large? If one wishes to cite statistics or anecdotes, at least cite something that makes sense.
