BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (07.13.11)
The dismembered body of a missing 9-year-old Hasidic boy has been found at two locations in Brooklyn and police early today arrested a Kensington man in connection with the slaying, sources tell The Post. Body parts stuffed in a suitcase were found in a Dumpster at 20th Street and Fourth Avenue early this morning and more remains were the suspect's home 2 miles away, and police believe the body is Leibby Kletzky, who disappeared Monday while on his way to meet his parents. Police stormed a Kensington home just before 4 a.m. and arrested a 35-year-old man who told cops where to find the body, sources said. He is currently being held at the 67th Precinct; Investigators tracked him down by tracing credit-card purchases and through video surveillance footage.

Marcel ,   Florida   (07.13.11)
In godless America where perverts and murderers roam the streets looking for little children to molest and murder the judgments of Sodom and Gomorrah are not far away. Meanwhile Israel the godless perverts imitate America in every way. Some are so sick they even make jokes about this tragedy. May God judge ALL the wicked soon.

B"H I'm just in tears. May Hashem avenge his young Jewish blood: Never again, never! Ah, and Free Pollard NOW! And Every Jew a 22!

May the cold blooded murderous pervert who butchered this innocent child know no peace and tranquility. Barbarians like that deserve to be castrated and tormented.Leiby Kletzky and his family deserve justice.
14. NY has no death penalty
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (07.13.11)
Let's hope this sick bastard is sentenced to life in the slammer and general population makes sure that he gets a Jeffrey Dahmer welcome.
15. No. 3 Ester
NYC Girl   (07.13.11)
If you read that talkback again, I think you'll find she was saying that Orthodox Jews need to be more fearful because they can be targeted simply because it's obvious they're Jewish. Whether or not that's the case in New York, I'm not really sure. But she obviously isn't saying what you though she was.
16. #5 yeah #3 has a valid point. We cant all live cuckoo land
Micaela   (07.13.11)
America is not all safe for Jews, in some parts its a no go. I am shocked this happened in NYC.
17. # 1 = Demented Imbecile.

18. Marcel, Florida: your imagination
JB ,   UK   (07.13.11)
Why are you reading things into this case before any of us know what happened? What in your own imagination makes you jump to these conclusions?
19. The US is a dangerous place to live
Yakov ,   Tel Aviv   (07.13.11)
I made Aliyah from the USA. Of the many wonderful benefits of living here in Israel, safety is a very big one. Israel and Israeli's enjoy freedom from this kind of violence, so common in the US. It is not isolated to NY. Look at Miami, LA, Detroit, Chicago, Las Vegas, etc.... My heart goes out to the family. No words can help. The collective tears of Jews are with the family!
20. @Ester #5
daniela #3   (07.13.11)
To begin with, it does not take all that skill to buy white shirt and black pants and grow a beard, or to get frum female dresses and head-covering. Not only that, but we have quite a lot of enemies that speak Hebrew very fluently. Many of them, when disguised, don't stand out. I seem to recall this sort of attack has occurred also in Israel, and with adult victims, ie, it must not have been so obvious. Second, you have assumed my comment was anti-haredi, it has not occurred to you that this kid would never have trusted someone who is obviously a goy (e.g. a priest, an Africa-American, an Asian...) or who is obviously a frei jew. He would not even have asked them for directions. Of course we should not trust anyone, but this particular boy would not have trusted anyone who did not look like an observant jew. Third, the details of this story will emerge in due time, but if some news are confirmed, it is a double tragedy. We have no idea of the motives, but if this man had problems, any sort of problems, be them character flaws, mental illnesses, etc. - it is also important to protect him. He would never have acted unless he had the opportunity, We can not automatically trust someone (and we can neither automatically distrust someone, but the second one is not a determination fit for a 8-yr-old child).
21. Americans don't delude yourself if you think anti Jew is
Idan ,   Canada   (07.13.11)
Only something happens "in Europe" which I see all too often on talkbacks here. Get real, and our heart goes out the family of this boy.
22. WHAT DOES BEING A JEW HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT?
DEUTRONOMY 28 ,   WORLD   (07.13.11)
you people are so easily manipulated, just because they refered to him as " a hassidic boy " does not mean he was killed because he is a jew... it does not mean that it was not because he was a jew either, but in the absence of a proof you cant simply make that statement... talk about propaganda, ynet is the best at that, no surprise there at all LOL and you people eat it all up so easily ...pity
23. Why Is 8-YR-OLD Walking Alone In A Big City?
Seth ,   Washington, DC   (07.13.11)
Any parents out there who think that it is a good idea, please please share your thoughts
24. #19...Murder suspect is Jewish...
(07.13.11)
too all of those who think this may have been a hate crime, and having moved to Israel to be safer from non-Jews.
25. Sick
Yaniv ,   Israel   (07.13.11)
26.  triumph of evil?!
Abu Ali   (07.13.11)
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." (Edmund Burke)
27. #23 Borough Park is not considered a dangerous area...
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (07.13.11)
and besides, the kid lived there. What was he supposed to do, stay in the house all his life? Kids have learn at some point in their childhood. I was riding the subway by myself at that age.
28. Number 3 is right but....
Anonymous ,   Brooklyn   (07.13.11)
The kid wouldn't be lured by a non-jew, he had to be a orthodox jew in order to get Lieby to go with him, and police just released the name of the guy, and he IS a orthodox jew.
29. very sick who ever did this
(07.13.11)
30. The wise mothers walk their children to the school bus and
Rivkah   (07.13.11)
to camp and are there to walk them home or drive them to and from school and/or camp and other destinations. I know many mothers who do this and work at jobs that allow them to or they are stay at home mothers. The world is a dangerous place and an adult should be walking with children when they are outside the home. A mother whose husband owns a Postal Express outlet told me she takes her children to school and is there to take them home when school is out. They go no where without supervison. That worked since one son is in medical school and another one is in Middle School. She allows her children to associate with no one at the schools and they have lots of study time at home to excel in school. Unless the people the children associate with are the same religion or near kinspeople, she does not allow an association. That protects them from the ways of the world that are evil and puts the family as the center of their social activities. Family sports such as family golf day or family tennis or family bicycling are the sports her children are allowed to participate in to strengthen the family and protect them from predators.
