Jude 2

Suppose someone stabbed you and left you for dead. It was your parents best friend. They would NOT hear you when you pointed the finger. They never asked you any questions. They never nursed your wounds. They don't want to talk about it. They continue the friendship to the point of leaving you in the cold or trying to scheme to get you together with them all along telling you that it is you with the problem and not their wonderful best friend.

How would you feel? Hypothetically speaking of course...

i better not speak on this one

I'd feel that I'd need to get justice from someone else. Possibly a cop or the Punisher? I'm sure there's a spiritual equivalent.

I would sever the relationship with the parents, unless and until they acknowledged the truth.

Frank could fix it, that's for sure (hypothetically, of course).

Exactly.. but I would add.. what relationship? It's apparent that none currently exists other than some dysfunctional order.

Hypothetically speaking of course...it's against the law to try to murder someone, so that needs to be reported to the police. That's the first thing I would do. The parents are a different matter...it seems that they care more about this best friend, then there own child. That would hurt, but would hope that the parents would be able to see exactly what this best friend is really like before he (best friend) tries to kill them! I would avoid the parents until the situation is resolved by the law/court. Then I would have to give it some thought before getting close to these parents again. Hypothetically speaking of course...

My first thought when reading this was that while just as harmful, sexual molestation or rape is handled this way everyday. Sad isn't it.

(hope I didn't ruin your point)

Actually.... er uh.... hypothetically... sexual molestation of a 1 year was totally mixed in that! You made my point very well.

Child molestors cease to exist in my world -- anyone who is that evil has zero contact with my family, and anyone who stands with them makes that same choice.

Hypothetically...I was way off....the dude needs to be cut, dipped and fried in the hottest oil out there!!!! The parents are just plain STUPID! to befriend someone like that!!!

Is this an issue of the parents being friends IN SPITE OF the fact,
or do the parents NOT believing the offspring when the facts were presented?

I am well aware that families sometimes "pigeonhole" an individual and just put things down as "well, there go's Bob again....." and no matter if what is siad is true it's put down as "that's just Bob going off".

If this is an actual situation that you deal with personally, I don't know how you handle it. I'd be at the offender everytime I saw him/her and would be writing off parents as worthless slime.

Little of both. Not wanting to know mostly. Won't ask... make excuses if it comes up. The slaughter isn't the molester.. but the Official that protected the molester. The molester is dead.
