When “people” (AR law on sex crimes now is age 14 treated as adult from what I quickly read) commit a crime and it is reported, investigated, charged, it is the STATE vs. the Charged because “the State” has an interest. Civil court is the redress for the Victim vs the Perp.
From what I read, (it wasn’t handled appropriately by the ADULTS involved), but since I am not part of their family, I have NO IDEA what kind of counseling those victims got (if any). There are many certified, licensed by the State (credentialed, educated) therapists, psychologist that do counsel from a religious perspective if desired.
Ever child that came into contact with Josh (without any supervision or warning) was put into RISK by the ADULTS. Whether or not Josh is not longer an “offender” that wasn’t the Duggar’s call to put their children and others at potential risk.
Turning it over to a rabid secular world, on the other hand, sometimes is scarcely better.
