oh y is that a crisis???
i mean yeh i guess its not the best thing but i think the real crisi is that anyone who is off is labeled and pretty much ostracized and forced to hang out with a certain type of crowd which leads to them doing drugs and crime
honestly im not all that religious myself (and please dont try to “help” me…im not rly intrested) and all my freinds are doing drugs if not worse…i dont do them myself but many of these kids would not be doing them either but were pressured into it by their freinds to do it “one time” and each time led to another
its great that u dont want these kids influencing ur own but many of these kids can be kept on to a certain extent (they may not keep shabbos but they wont do crime or drugs) some of these kids may even end up comitting murder (this is not such a long shot) and that would make it pikuach nefesh which if there is a situation of pikuach nefesh u do not even need to keep shabbos so just remember bec u didnt let ur kid hang out with these kids they may end up doing things they never would have dreamed of
