That video of the Chasidish infant smoking why the adult, ostensibly his mother, stroking his beautiful pays, made me cry. השם יעזור!

“……We need to look inward. We need to pray harder, observe more, and be more careful with our Torah and mitzvos. We cannot simply blame the natural circumstances that brought this disaster. God can protect us from our mistakes, negligence, and crimes that cost lives and bring calamity.”…

THIS is complete and utter BS, how can we allow such people to educate our children, it’s like leaving your baby in the care of an unlicensed caregiv….oh yeah, right…

As Sir Humphrey of Yes Minister would say, this is one of those irregular verbs:

I accept my fate and the matter is closed

You were negligent and should be thoroughly investigated

He should be prosecuted with the full force of the law

Why does the Torah provide for a death penalty for murders if the victim's time was up?

"And we see that they care very much about certain types of risks to their children - for example, they generally care more about the very real harm caused by internet use than non-charedi parents do."

Charedi institutions care a lot about the possible harms of internet use, but many charedi individuals care little or not at all. Many of them, perhaps the majority are secretly using the internet and not telling anyone.

I was stunned to see commenters on Times of Israel blaming the parents for their childrens' deaths.
