Cops generally won't make an issue with that. Technically it's not illegal to have or smoke the cigarettes, it's illegal to sell or give to a minor...

Is there any "hangout" areas for these kids? I know of a bunch in brooklyn, dont know anything about lakewood. Is the point really just to get them to move to a different location?

I hope people are thinking whats if its their child? Would they want the same thing? Every child on the streets has parents/siblings/relatives that are crying for them, hopefully we didnt arrive at banishment as our solution!!

Do you really think that it's other kids who are otd that are the reason more kids go off?? Most kids will tell you otherwise.

I was not there but I know a guy who went there and when he asked what would you do if it was your kid the response was my kids wouldn't do that

Honestly, I dont get this whole thing about "imagine it was your kid" wth does that matter? Fine, you dont think your kid will ever go otd, ( which i can garuntee a guy like thats kids are way more likely to) but wth cares, No ones asking them to treat this kids like their own ( which would probably be disastrous if they did). Just treat them like normal people not some virus infected dog.

Sometimes the only way to drive home that point is by reminding people that these are not "some virus infected dog" rather they are good kids, they can even be yours...

That's not the definition of chillul hashem.

I don't know how you define C"H, but IMHO anytime a yid does not act the way g-d intended, and causes others - even Jews - to look at klal Yisroel in a bad light, that is a chillul hashem !!!

This is the old fashioned quick fix mentality.... What exactly will they gain if they do succeed in getting them out? No one will see them=otd is history?
