Sam responsible I said “Hereorthere, about what you said.
As far as your kids going into a grocery, it is not up to government or the store owner to regulate everything for everyone else for the sake of your (or anyones) kids.”
And you responded:
::::::::::::”I left out an example. The consumer (environment) should change as I mentioned before, for the sake of our kids. That means even your home is clean of the bad, your kids getting it somewhere else- at weddings, Kadeishim, siyum’s in cheder etc.”::::::::::::
Banning it so your kids can’t get to it is like banning all private ownership of anything and saying no one can have anything
to keep buy or well or give away, so that there will be nothing for anyone to steal.
We can’t do that, even in Soviet Russia people still had things they owned.
What we all have to do it to teach our kids not to steal.
The same with candy and food.
If you raise your kids to be decent people who obey their parents
you do not have to worry about what they will take when they know their parents (and H-sh-m who gave the commandment to all of us obey our parents) would not approve of it and has clearly told them so.
What about smoking and drugs?
Those too are already outlawed for kids to have and use, but many do anyway.
How has banning such things (at least for kids) stopped some from using them? It hasn’t.
Those who do not obey and who want to do it will do it.
It is how you raise your children, not how the government will raise your children, that will make the difference.
