> He walks to and from Yeshiva even late at night. I insist that he carry pepper spray with him
I don;t know what is happening in your neighborhood, but there are lots of gemorot not recommending walking by yourself at night for a number of reasons… can several of them go together? can a father go for a walk. meet the son onthe way, and walk back together sharing whst they learned during the day? good for everyone’s health, learning, and family values. Also, put location sharing on the phone google maps, so that the family know where the kid is.
