“I doubt he would have gotten more than a few months. Is that worth putting his sisters through the horror of a trial and allowing CPS to disrupt their lives? “
Those boys in Stubenville, ohio got two years for raping that girl.
Yes CPS should have come in because their parents did not think much of those girls to get them counseling.
The incidents described in the police report about the Duggar son were disturbing and alarming.
But are you seriously comparing the Duggar case to the Steubenville case?
Read what happened in Steubenville: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steubenville_High_School_rape_case
Then read the Duggar police report: http://imgur.com/a/zqPMi#0
1) They were older, almost adults and 2) there is a difference between rape and what Duggar did.
Yes CPS should have come in because their parents did not think much of those girls to get them counseling.
Maybe they thought enough of them not to put them through a trial and all the media scrutiny that would go with it. It is often stressful to put victims through that.
