Not always the villans As a case worker I recently saw the opposite. My client's mother who had lost custody of her child due to criminal abuse tried to have illegal contact with her son through a Chasidic school. The school informed her that they would kick out every single member if the extended large family if she broke the law and had contact with her son. She was forced to comply because if the schools strong stand

There is one test for sincerity…. If the Grand Rabbi would do something that ensured that these evil predators could NEVER – and I mean NEVER – abuse again, then it would be totally fine that he doesn't let the monsters go through the court system. Even better, actually, because the court sentences usually aren't long enough to prevent abusers from never abusing again. However, it doesn't seem that these so-called "Grand Rabbis" do anything to stop the monsters. So I don't think they are sincere at all. The Baal Shem Tov predicted that in the time just prior to Mashiach, the Grand Rabbis mostly wouldn't be real Rebbes. I guess we are seeing his prediction played out. And why does Bashe's father need visitation with Bashe, supervised or otherwise? For whose benefit are the visitations? Bashe obviously suffers horribly being anywhere near her father and he is consumed with only evil feelings toward her. The people involved with protecting a monster must be heartless in order to be so irrational. We see why Pirke Avos stated that a good heart is the most important thing of all. Without a good heart, one can become truly insane. Thanks, Dr. Ballen. You are brave and good.
