GAON:
The publication from the Satmar Dayanim was not the psak of a Beis Din in a specific instance. It was for general consumption, and seeks to establish a halachic precedent to apply when someone from המון עם deals with an OTD kid. That is a huge problem. Who assessed this kid? Is every OTD kid a kofer? I suggest that there is a microscopic percentage that go these ways due to intellectual motives. Everyone else, the vast overwhelming majority, are doing so for emotional reasons. That is metzius. I happen to be more qualified than the dayanim to assess that. How is a regular baal haboss supposed to address his child that is OTD. With rejection, hate, etc.? I suggest that this is NOT a general psak that belongs in circulation. The examples I gave were not from drush, and were not exceptional cases.
