Yehuda Tzvi, the teen is NOT a monster, what he did was monstrous. If in fact he is a victim himself and that is what motivated him to act out then he is a child in pain acting out of pain and also a child in need of help. If this was his first offense then he is a child who can still be helped and stopped early on from becoming a career molester and abuser.
If all you want to do is label him a monster then all you will accomplish is to allow him to be that monster with no hope in stopping him from “wanting” to harm anyone in the future. The point is can this teen be helped and will he agree to be helped. If he will agree and he can be helped then he is NOT a monster and you can’t fault a child who is himself a victim. You can fault the person who victimized him and lock him up, label him the monster and publicize his name!!!!!
If the teen refuses treatment or refuses to cooperate then you should do everything in your power to warn others. But please do not ignore the fact that you do have people who have been in the business of protecting children from molesters for a very long time and have taught not only the community you live in but have taught and trained others how to keep their own communities safe. Use the resources you have at your own fingertips and don’t be a vigilante branding your own form of justice.
Call Debbie Fox and have your friends call Debbie Fox at Aleinu and speak to them to find out what to do. If you don’t call them then you are no better than those you accuse. You do not have the experience nor the knowledge how to handle the situation, how to judge what happened or what to do about it and they do. They will know how to keep the neighborhood safe, how to organize the community, shuls, schools, etc. and they will come in and speak to everyone.
