Please Help: Frum Family under Attack from Esav

20/8/2017

Note: Important links below toward end of post.
_____________
One of the most frustrating aspects of Western Esav society is the oh-so pure and caring persona it loves to project while in actuality, it's committing the worst crimes when no one's looking.

Compared to a pig that extends its cloven hoof as a sign of its kashrut, the Esavite pig hides its lack of any cud-chewing apparatus deep inside itself where no one can see.

Likewise, Esav himself piously inquired as to whether salt must be tithed and always served his father with great dedication...yet ambushed and assaulted young brides in deserted fields and showed no respect for human life and even married women addicted to occult worship.

Yes, Esav was sooooo concerned with tithing salt...yet couldn't be bothered to marry a monotheist or raise Jewish children.

Fostering Abuse and Egos

Modern countries offer so many services to assist in every need. And yes, there are definitely sincere people who provide concrete help to those who need it. Yet so much else is broken or inconsistent.

Take the justice system, for example. It can condemn an innocent person to prison and let a guilty person go.

Or the foster care system. It's already a given that people who've been through the foster care system as children were likely to have been abused. Foster children are also much more likely to be given prescription drugs (and several kinds of them) to control their behavior, even as kindergartners.

Sometimes, children really do need to be removed from their biological parents. But sometimes, the decision is left to judges and social workers who aren't morally qualified nor possess the wisdom to make such decisions.

In fact, it's always a disturbing experience to meet a dysfunctional person and then discover that this person is a social worker! How can a person with such poor middot and such a warped value system of their own help children and parents in difficult and complicated situations?

And even if a social worker isn't mamash dysfunctional, I've definitely met social workers who displayed excessive self-absorption and the inability to recognize that the people who consulted with them lacked resources to which the social worker had access.

For example, one social worker with a car and an available cooperative husband would advise mothers as if they too had cars and an available cooperative husband...when they didn't. She insisted that they cultivate morning routines which for them meant shlepping around on several buses for at least on hour with a bunch of small children and a twin stroller during rush hour when the buses are crammed to overflowing...all because they lacked a car and an available cooperative husband.

"After all," boasted the social worker, "I do it!"

If the mother pointed out that she didn't have the resources the social worker had, the social worker implied that the mother simply didn't care about her children enough to sacrifice for them.

See what I mean? No brains. No heart, either.

Help Frum Parents Get Their Children Back

Within the frum community, sometimes a "frum" person screams "Discrimination!" at the authorities simply because they are remorselessly angry at getting caught.

How dare anyone stop them from behaving deplorably and against halacha!

Yet sometimes, there are genuine incidents of discrimination against frum Jews and even a "par-for-course" miscarriage of justice.

Each situations need to be examined individually without knee-jerk reactions of uninformed onlookers who either scream "Discrimination!" or consider court judges on par with the ancient Sanhedrin.

Recently, I was made aware of a situation in England in which a frum couple had their children removed from their home.

How did this come about?

Basically, the mother turned to different services for help in being the best mother she could be. A couple of the children have special needs, which obviously demands a whole different set of skills from the mother. (And please note this family has more than one child born with special needs, which is obviously a huge challenge.) Such a situation also affects both parents on the individual level, for which additional guidance was also sought voluntarily.

As I understand it, both the parents are good decent sincere people who want to give each other and their children the best of themselves...but they needed guidance in doing so due to the unusual challenge of the situation in which they found themselves.

And then these very services that exist supposedly to assist and support families decided to take these frum Jewish children away and dump them into the foster care system to non-Jewish homes, and shortly afterward, they were transferred to Jewish homes.

This is very disturbing, and not only because anyone familiar with the foster care system knows that abuse runs rampant within and that you are placing a child at risk by placing that child within the system.

Needless to say, children are always traumatized when uprooted from their homes, even genuinely abusive homes (which is not the situation in this case). So removing a child from his or her home is not something to be done lightly.

And obviously, placing Jewish children in a situation where they'll be fed non-kosher food and transgress Shabbat is pretty harmful (although hopefully, this is not the case in the Jewish foster home where they now reside), not to mention the adjustment whenever they would go back to their family of origin.

People who know the couple and know their situation are appalled at what has happened.
(I don't personally know them, but was informed by those who do.)

One of them started a GoFundMe campaign on their behalf to get the children back.

You can see by the size of the donations, the comments, and the fact that many of the donors are willing to use their full name on the donation that people really believe in the truth of the parents' side of things.

Here is the family's Tehillim page if you'd like to say Tehillim for them is here:

Please remember that the mother initially turned to the services out of her own accord and sincere intentions in order to receive the help they claim to offer.

Then they turned on her and her family.

P.S. You can see how rotten to the core the British social welfare system is because British social workers routinely abandon British girls to Muslim traffickers and "groomers" (the most infamous being the Rotherham scandal, which involved the appalling abuse of at least 1400 minors and evidenced actual collaboration of social workers with the Muslim perps, and among other horrors, covered up the murder of a 17-year-old girl).
This is obviously not a trustworthy system.

Just to give you an idea of the extent of the power of the system, there was the case of Alfie, when the UK courts would not allow the parents of the child to take him abroad for medical care. And he was basically held hostage to die in a British prison, sorry, hospital.

It's already happenng and only going to get worse, as families who refuse to let their children learn about the protected perversions will come under increasing scrutiny. Tolerance and diversity only applies to the protected categories. Unfortunately, anyone frum with children will find themselves in the line of fire sooner or later.

I think I heard about Alfie's case. It happened recently, relatively speaking, like in the past 2 years?

It was really horrifying.

I totally agree with you that the schools coming under attack now for not teaching toeva and the fact that "tolerance and diversity only applies to the protected categories" is just the beginning of the end.

Sorry for this family, and let it be a warning to all frum Jews not to turn to social services, but to community services and most importantly to come home asap. Soon, they will be closing the frum schools, and don't think they'll let you homeschool, aka the chabad case in Sweden. It's crazy that in Russia you can have as Jewish an education as you like, but throughout the west Jewish schools are under threat of closure for failure to teach about the perversions. One case in particular stands out, regarding a frum school for girls aged 3-8.

Excellent points in both comments, and I hadn't known that about Russian Jewish education.

People don't like the following statements made & I usually don't like to make such melodramatic-sounding predictions, but for a few years now, I've truly believed that Europe is already done for.

They crossed the point of No Return not long ago, and that's not just as far as the Jewish community goes, either.

It's everyone.

Well, thank you very much for both these comments, Elisheva.
