Calling your attention

Just calling attention to something disturbing that I've read on a few posts. Here are a couple links to the situation with Dr. Rabbi Twersky and him stepping down as group leader for special task sexual abused victims in the frum community. Apparently, he and mainly his family were threatened to the point where he felt that he needs to step down.
I am truly appalled by this. How dare people threaten a man that dedicates his life to helping people over come vicious crimes that were committed to them.
This link from Rabbi Horowitz is interesting take a read. I am shocked!
My source was the blog wofishmusings, with this post.
I guess no matter what environment we live in we always have to be on the guard and on the look out for the bad guys!

My 7 year old son and I have written a song in honour of an item posted on this blog this past summer:

To the Tune of "Receive the Power":

"Tim McClean was riding on the bus when his head was chopped off by a crazy man!

Just trying to get home when his head came rolling down the aisiles....

Verse-Heads were rolling on the TCH,
But the driver drove on...

Heads were rolling on the TCH
But the driver just drove on...."

Hoping that we all keep our heads!
