>From a letter of the boy's mother:
"Mr. L. gave to this boy a teaching admittedly
dangerous, and, at the same time, prevented the
counsel and the guidance of his parents in so
critical a matter by impressing the boy strongly
with secrecy Mr. L. either considered the parents
unfit counselors or else he feared their disapproval.
In either case it was an assumption of privilege.
For no matter which view he held, the parents are
karmically responsible for the child, and such
teaching so contrary to their sense of right would
have been possibly permissible only after having
consulted them and received their consent
It is an inexplicable feature in this case, that
the boy was taught this method while away from
his home. There was ample opportunity for Mr. L.
to have consulted the boy's father about this
when in our city but he did not...."
