[ He hurt his sisters, cousin and probably more to come. There is reason to believe he would hurt his own children.]
This last sentence of yours offers an insight to your way of thinking that is way over the top. You do know of course that this happened when Josh was 14 and younger and that he voluntarily confessed to his parents. The sisters did not even know at the time that they were being inappropriately touched. The young man is now 27 years old and married.
What in your brilliant thinking should be the punishment for Josh now some 13 years later?
...”What in your brilliant thinking should be the punishment for Josh now some 13 years later?”....
Well..not that you asked my brilliant mind..(lolol)..but I’d like to answer that question.
Nothing should be done regarding Josh....and the family is just making it worse , a simple statement would have been sufficient. Then retreat and let the chips fall where they may or not.
