As far as the boys being afraid, no. When I was learning in the Mir, Yerusholayim, during the intifata years, you didn’t see,hear anything but learning torah while in the yeshiva. It was the redio, t.v. and other news media that would show the scary stuff going on that had our parents worried. Not that it wasn’t REAL, but we never felt threatened in yeshiva with torah as our protection. Practically speaking, it’s not poshut bringing home kids from yeshiva/sem. away from limudei kodesh. A shaila should definitely be brought to your rav’s attention, and discussed at length before making such a big move.
