    Why is this buried as the fourth item? It should be flashing on the top for a couple of days.

  • Same experience

    I remember to this day how – years ago – when I was around 10 years old,
    a white man with long hair (no beard or Yarmulka) was standing in front of Kahans Grocery and asked me to come into his car.

    Back then, I was educated enough not to listen – but I did not realize that I need to tell a store employee right away.

    When I came home my mother called shomrim who told us to write a police report – the police officer in the station refused to write anything stating that nothing actually happened.

    Even these days if they catch the guy – he will probably go 30 days in prison and be let out.

    (Don’t forget that only a Orthodox Jew suspected on anything related to a child gets all the news coverage and ends up getting locked up for life).
