Sad story for an KJ escape…what’s sadder is the entire context of the article

Here is the link to the article.article.

The story is about a woman who escaped KJ with her daughter but then had her kidnapped back but because they weren’t divorced yet all of those parental right issues had yet to be played out. The woman went straight from being Satmar to being, what looks like in her pictures, to not being religious at all.

While our heart goes out to this woman who feels she has been emotionally abused by the KJ and all its antics, we don’t feel 100% sorry for her because she decided to just turn away from Hashem completely and also allow an article which seems to, according to our opinion, demean what the laws of nidda are between Husband and Wife as well as put down religious Jews in general. Because unfortunately Goyim don’t see a difference between religious Jews, heck even secular Jews don’t see the different. All they see is that we are all alike.

We hope she gets her daughter back, but we also hope that before that she learns that being religious doesn’t mean you need to be inside a cult like atmosphere.
