Reply To: Should Someone Who Is Considering Murder…

In your hypothetical case, is the child likely to have a negative influence on his/her schoolmates based on the father’s wickedness?

I couldn’t answer that. Let’s say no, he wouldn’t. But that would also apply to the case of a TV where the child wasn’t allowed to watch it and could not access it.

However, as I said, if it’s any easier, forget the yeshivos/children part of the question. Should such a person be refused honors in shul (such as aliyos or even attendance at all) and should he be allowed to remain as a respected member of the community?
