Some people seem to have a different definition of Charedi

If someone is the child of a Rosh Yeshiva and a mother who is a Tzdekeas and the whole family is very helig, But this person R’L lies to his father about going to Yeshiva, sneaks out all the time and hangs out on the street with his friends while smoking pot and other juvenile deliquiences , but dresses charedi and goes home to his parents. is that person Charedi?

Many charedim inside the community are not willing to call such people charedi, but people outside the community are. and IMO those people are charedi, they might be charedim in name only, but as long as they live in the community and basically think of themselves as part of the community then they are part of the community. If they wish to leave, let them move to Tel Aviv with the rest of the hedonists, cut the peyos, drop the Levush and then people wont count them as part of the community, but until then, they are part of the community
