Max well:
Many OTD kids are due to parents who are unloving, too demanding and the like. There’s a concept in Mishlei from Shlomo Hamelech Chanoch Lanaar al Pi darko. If you have a sensitive kid and you constantly put him/her down and speak to him/her negatively its a virtual guarantee that the child will have very low self esteem and will have issues with religion and likely go OTD or tread very close. Parents don’t OWN their kids. Their children are a matanah from Hashem or rather a Pikadon. If you mistreat your kid there will be hell to pay no pun intended. You as a parent are responsible if the kid goes off the derech and all his averos will be on your cheshbon.
