@Avram-In-MD I’ve addressed most of your comments but I’ll pick up this one point again: Every community has kids at risk. And every community takes steps to help them. However, there is a huge factor contributing to kids at risk in some communities that they refuse to address: Namely the “Only Gemara and Halacha” mesivtas.
And I have to disagree with you one one point. I think that people are people. Individually, thinking and intelligent, but in large groups they have a tendency to make huge mistakes then rationalize it.
