naisberg,
The comment I qouted was not to back up my assertion about hurting children I (and the poster “The little I know”) Have seen this firsthand. Threatning to throw someones children out of school is threatning to harm somebody’s children.
You are right though the qoute talks about how it would be too dangereous to appoint an oversight comittee for bate Din because the dayanim would kill them-
It’s right up there although I do think I should have been clearer that qoute says enough about the system that my first hand knowledge of dayanim threatning to harm children is unneccesary in any case
