Anti-Semitic Teen: What to Do?
Question
I hope you can help me find resources. My friend in Los Angeles houses 3 Ukrainian refugees: a woman in her 40s, her 80-year old mother, who is undergoing treatment for cancer, and her 16-year old autistic son. My friend is a Jewish man. The son has severe emotional problems and has not adapted well to the U.S. He is currently being openly anti-Semitic. My friend has asked the JDL and other resources in his area and has been told they cannot help him. My friend is a very intelligent man but after two years of kindness, generosity and love towards this boy, he is at his wit's end about how to deal with the hate and fear.
