Information Accountability

Information accountability is the topic today.

Accountability means responsible; required to account for one's conduct.

I am a very rational person. I raised my sons in a manner fashioned after a Christian organization that adhered to the 'give them a choice' instead of forcing your children because forcing people usually creates rebellious people and if a child is forced to do things they shouldn't be forced to do or keep quiet about things they should never keep quiet about, the resulting situation may well become uncomfortably criminal.

If ever you find yourself mentioned on this blog, know this. I am the only writer of this blog and if I mention you, personally, I am holding you to accountability. I am certainly not saying that you will ever be helped, by me, if you have harmed my children or grandchildren or stolen from them or subverted justice, in their lives, in any way.

So, what are people responsible for? 

Let's start with the basics. 

We are accountable for what we know. I sent a text message to a man, (approximately, October of 2024), who used to have positions of responsibility, in job form, not necessarily in his home. That may have been secondary. You'd have to interview him. He is my sons' father-in-law. I received one text message back from him which said, loosely, "I can't share information with you."

So, then I phoned his wife, whom I had spent a few hundred hours with... I calculated about 1095 hours and that is not including all the hours I spent decorating for their daughters' wedding when she married my son. She answered, '________ here.' I said. 'This is Elfrieda.' She hung up without having another conversation.

So, let's say her husband can't share information with me about my son... why not? He doesn't have to share information about his daughter, with me. I am not responsible for her but, when my son married into that family, I certainly did not expect to lose touch with him for 15 years. I would suggest there is something very diabolical happening in that family. 

Now, whatever information they have would have to be relayed to me, if I were required to try to help my sons or, forsuredly, if I were concerned, and I am, about their well- being.

If you can yet believe this... the couple I am writing about tried to be youth pastors, without any training, and all three of my sons served in the church where they 'gave orders' to my sons to get the 'set- up' for youth night ready for the 'less- churched' youth who didn't volunteer but did show up for free food, etcetera.

Now, I ask you, what has happened to this 'churchified' couple that I can't trust anymore... if, indeed, I ever should have?

I am holding them accountable for any suffering of my son, since he married into their family. 

I am also holding the other two families, that my other sons married into, accountable, for any of the suffering they have encountered without getting help from those precise families... because all three families mentioned on my previous blog professed to be Christians with church affiliation. 

You are accountable for what you know about my children.
