shlishi, obviously you can choose to hear what you want, believe what you want to and understand what you want to. The police commissioner and DA combined chose not to say that Aron chopped up the boy’s whole body. They only made reference to the boy’s feet. They know how to say the things they want people to hear and know at that time and they know how to hide certain things so the public should not know. More information was just released to the press from Aron’s written statement at the arraignment. No one knew that he didn’t eat kosher until that time either. There are still a lot more things that was not released yet.
I choose to wait till the whole truth comes out in court which I hope and pray the family will not attend or have any knowledge of. I am sure that you didn’t know about his best friend until we found out about him today when the interview was released today. I am sure there will be more information that is released after the cops interview him more and as more people come forward that knew him whether that is in person or on the internet.
But since you are so sure that the commissioner and the DA disclosed absolutely everything that you need to know and the case is closed in your mind, I have no problem with that. YOU are entitled to believe whatever you choose to believe. I don’t gain or lose anything by you believing what you want. I don’t gain or lose anything finding out the truth about this case other than opening the eyes of the Olam who choose to still be blind to this topic and keep shoving their heads, deeper and deeper into the sand like you are doing. Even the possibility of this happening to this poor child is out of the question with you. How does that help the situation? If you understand that this was a possibility then you would understand how to protect your children, the simple ABC’s. A – always tell mommy everything. Never keep secrets from mommy. B- Be aware. Even people that you recognize and don’t seem like strangers can be dangerous. Don’t go anywhere with anyone unless Mommy or Tatty told you beforehand that an arrangement was made for you to go with them. C- call out. If someone approaches you, grabs you, touches you inappropriate, speaks to you inappropriately, or shows parts of themselves to you CALL OUT and draw attention to yourself. Scream if someone tries to grab you “this is NOT my MOMMMY, Tatty, brother or whomever they are pretending to be. Scream, yell and run away even if it is a Rebbe who is trying to take you in a room alone with him it is against the rules.
Furthermore every classroom should have windows in the doors that you can look into. Never allow a teacher to cover those windows up.
