“His victims needed justice by way of the courts.”
Not necessarily
If this messy situation had occurred in my family the last thing I would do is agree to present my family on a national television show week after week.
It’s inevitable that this information will eventually get out. I blame the parents.
What Josh did was a felony. We have laws to protect minors against these types of crimes for a reason. If we left it to the families most of them would probably handle it the way the Duggars did and the victims would not get help nor justice.
The Duggars claim that the girls have forgiven their brother. Did they have any choice? They were awfully young, one was only 4 years old. How is a 4 year old capable of giving forgiveness for something like that?
If he had cut off one of his sibling’s arm would it be none of our business? This IS our business. Just like it would be our business if he had physically beaten someone, robbed someone etc. One of the victims was not his sister. It was most likely another relative or friend of the family. Is that none of our business either?
God can forgive him but man does not have to. This is why we have a justice system.
If Josh had never done this the left wouldn’t have anything to be joyful about. This is Josh’s fault and no one elses. It is part of the consequences he must suffer because of his actions. Whether he is sorry or not.
