I continue to be appalled at the armchair paskening of mesira shailos. It is similarly offensive to apply the “raglayim ledovor” psak from Rav Elyoshiv ZT”L where it has no relevance.

When there is a suspicion of molestation, one could easily argue for a shailoh to be asked. Why? Because it is not happening at the moment, and the delay in asking a Rov is not occurring while dangerous activity is happening. When danger is happening in the present, even a sofek sakana, one must act immediately. If you present me with such a situation involving abuse, i would say the same, and no one I ever discussed the subject with considers Rav Elyoshiv’s statement relevant to that. I dare to say the poskim I had these discussions with are far more qualified than any of the posters or commenters in the CR.

Meanwhile, I repeat my disdain for the amateur application of the issur of mesira where there is present danger and even sofek sakanah. Go back and learn the halachos, and once a qualified expert, restate your opinions here.
