DY, I never took that to be a proof for what you’re saying. I understood it more to mean the things little kids (-yenuka-) talk about and the way they express themselves. Not the life choices they make when they get older. I would tend to agree more with what jewishfem wrote. Kids are influenced by parents, yeshiva / school, friends, the media, society at large, and have their own inclinations to deal with each. I’ve never been one for parent bashing or yeshiva bashing.
Do people out there in the CR really think the OTD problems we’re having come from parents?
