Waterbury Yeshiva is not a Kiruv Yeshiva per se they might help some kids with issues, but it is a regular yeshiva, maybe one that cares more.

As far as the Satmar community is concerned, there re many individuals who are very decent people, but the community in general have lowed the “mafia” to gain control and to bully them into doing their bidding and to keep quiet about their criminal activity against young and old alike. People are afraid to tell the emeshurts and as a community came forward to protect and elf end the menuval Webershmutz who was sentenced today to 103 years. The family of the victim was so harassed nd intimidated the police moved them out of their home in Williamsburg. Is this how Hashem wants Yidden to conduct themselves? Is this how one would describe ood Jews?

I disagree 100% with you. Don’t look to blame the child. Children don’t choose to go off the derech, they are pushed and shoved off! Answer a child’s questions and don’t feed him nonsense. And most of all don’t be a hypocrite and you will see less and less children going off. Protect abusers instead of children and you are still shoving kids off the derech, you are displaying hypocrisy in its strongest form! A child who is unhappy might choose to live with another family or not be as strict as his own family. A child that goes to such an extreme as to turn their backs on the entire religion was shoved out the door.
