Submitted: Where Are the Parents?

Feb 12, 2026·1 min read

Hi,

With the Purim season in the air and the boys busy with Purim shtick, I would like to bring an important concern to everyone’s attention.

I strongly feel that if a parent buys Purim shtick for their child, it is only responsible that they supervise when it is being used. Last year, a neighbor’s house almost caught fire and another child was badly burned. Just last night there was another very close call.

Parents, please take responsibility. If you are purchasing these items for your children, supervision is necessary to ensure everyone’s safety.

It also seems that some of the kids using them on our block don’t even live here and were told they cannot do it on their own block. This makes the situation even more concerning.

Let’s work together to keep our children and our homes safe this Purim.

Thank you.
