The fact that there are almost 800 posts on children going off the derech shows that Yeshivas, synagogues and Parents need to deal with this problem in a serious manner. PRofessional people skilled in dealing with this problem in conjunction with Yeshivas parents and synagogues should provide guidance on this and hopefully it will prevent many from going OTD.
It’s true that people go of the d, but we also live in a time where more ppl are becoming baalei tshuva than ever in history. There are plenty of “safety net” organizations out there that do help. You can’t control people to not go off the D. As unhappy as you may be about it, it’s a decision every individual has to make for themselves, and it’s not something you can prevent. You can only do your hishtadlut, and that’s where these organizations come into play.
yup tons of OTDs in response to all the OTDs there are a lot of OTD kiruv programs but the more shocking and scary thing is the ASSIMILATION RATE
True there are many people becoming bt, but that is very little, we are still losing a lot, with both the assimilation of secular Jews and the otd thing with frum Jews. What pains me is that there is answers, people are just not willing to seek different ways. oh well

No, it only shows that members on this board enjoy discussing it — nothing more, nothing less.

That may or may not be true, but it does not follow from your premise (i.e. that because there are 800+ posts in one thread on the CR that this is what should/must happen).

There are many that reach out for help and just can’t find the right shaliach! I heard that a bucher of 25 took his life yesterday in Brooklyn.I don’t know any details BUT this is a tragedy that someone within our community could not receive the help he needed! Look around you , at work or home. Do you see anyone who could use a little attention? Don’t just go on with your day. Care about each other….
