Wonderful article Rose! You raise excellent points and questions in this piece, and tie together every day examples into it for dramatic illustration. Taking responsibility for our choices and lives,is a constant excersize. The more we do it, the better we get at it, the better we get at it, the less time we devote to excuses, so we can devote more time to what makes us happier people.

I’m going to have to link this one!

Hazel.

Thanks Jason for your off topic comment.:)

Don, interesting points that you bring up and I think we have seen first hand the harm that results when there is a lack of accountability. I just Googled Destiny Norton as I was not familiar with the story. I had not viewed Google news yet today.
My heart certainly goes out to the family and again good question.

Interesting topic but lack of accountability can have tragic outcomes.

There is a missing five year old child, Destiny Norton, in Salt Lake City. She went missing after going outside at 8:30 Sunday night following an alleged dispute with her parents. When you start determining who is responsible or accountable, who will it be?

Destiny- she went outside
Parents- let her go outside unsupervised
Law Enforcement- unprepared for assistance
Person of interest- wrong place wrong time or potential suspect
Previous jury- acquitted person of interest on previous crimes
NCMEC- no posting of disappearance or poster

The case has yet to be resolved.
