Reply To: Inappropriate "Jewish" Periodical

First of all, I never said this was about women. It’s about a young boy who had a body part amputated in the context of torture for rebelling against the regime. And I would think it’s no less gruesome if you don’t know the exact body part.

Second, I am not an ostrich, and I am sure all of us who are on-line see some material that would not pass the mods here. However, I do not expect young children to pick up a supposedly “kosher” paper and be confronted with such graphic material.

I don’t think most responsible parents will allow their young children to be unsupervised on-line without filters, or at the public library, for that matter. They use their discretion as to what a child should encounter, and at what age.

For instance, in a recent interview, Mrs. Lichtenstein of Hamodia and Rebbetzin Esther Farbstein of EY, were asked the appropriate age to expose children to information about the holocaust. I believe they said around 6th, 7th or 8th grade.

Would you want a five year old to come home from Pre1A with nightmares because he was exposed to material that was not age-appropriate?

My objection to this particular periodical is that they have ZERO sensitivity to the community, which, I am sure, is horrified by this material that was ‘inadvertently’ placed.
