I can guarantee you that those girls are doing the "godly" or "family" or "Christ" thing and "forgiving" him. It's what's expected of them and they are doing it. And they're probably trying to forgive and put it behind them.
I don't for a minute believe this is over and done with in their minds or souls. As they get older and more mature and it fully sinks in what was done to them in their own home by their own brother and the parents didn't go full gonzo on their pedophile son, THAT is when it's going to hit this family hard.

Gonzo is correct! That phrase I keep using “Take him to the field and horsewhip him” is something my Grandmother always said. She was correct!
I tell you all what had Josh been my boy that is what would have been done! I would have borrowed a horsewhip from a local stable and told my husband “there’s the field, take him there and don’t bring him back until you have given him a sound beating!” Then I would have said “Oh and another thing I’ll have iodine and bandages waiting when you two get back”.
I’m not one for beating a kid for the least little thing but this, I’m not one for spanking at the drop of a hat, however this is not the least little thing. This is something I see as so serious I would breakout a horsewhip just to make sure Josh NEVER did it again.
