The announcement comes after allegations surfaced against the author of the wildly popular Kids Speak series, which were widely reported on in the Israeli media.
“The decision was not made lightly,” Getz wrote, adding that the decision was made in spite of the fact that this will undoubtedly cause a heavy financial lost for Eichler’s.
“Given that the access to alleged victims was largely by way of the author’s books and work, we believe that this decision is an essential step in protecting our children and building a safer, healthier community,” the announcement continues.

Very Interesting
Even though one is innocent till proven guilty, and his books all all true inspiring stories, they rushed to a decision and removed the books from their shelves.
At the same time when someone came into Eichler's (BP) and asked them to remove Rabbi Manis Freedman's book from their shelves since it has some very inappropriate chapters and no Haskoma from any godil they laughed at them and said they can not remove it!
How do they draw the line? Is it just another way to make it to the news?
Because of allegations alone?!?
