FULL TITLE: 19 Kids and Counting taken off the air by TLC in wake of revelation that son Josh molested young girls and his parents Jim Bob and Michelle covered it up
19 Kids and Counting has been taken off the air.
The show has not been officially cancelled at this time, but has been removed from the network's lineup.
The move comes one day after Josh Duggar, the oldest son of the family featured on the program, admitted that he molested young girls when he was a teenager.
Making matters worse, it was also revealed that his parents worked to cover up this scandal.

prayers for the family....
Not walking the walk.
Come on...this has nothing to do with people trying get the family...they admitted it.

This has been heartbreaking to see. The Satanists wanted to get rid of them, and they got their wish. The only winner here is Satan, plain and simple.
and “they” wouldn’t have a leg to stand on if Mr. Duggar hadn’t molested the girls.
I have to agree. Covering up sex abuse, how low can you go? They need to be taken to the field and horse whipped! These people are scum in my book. I hope Josh winds up on the sex offender registry for his crimes, I also hope the parents are charged for failing to report a crime.
There is probably more to come. I bet the apple didn’t fall far from the tree.
Had not seen the show in years until I was bored and tuned in last night. After reading about Josh that was horrible what he did. But I think the family is a nice family. Too bad about the situation. Not well versed on the family. I do know they got attention because of having lots of kids then they grew up conservative and because of the kids having certain opinions the left was up in arms. That is all I know.
Didn’t they report it back in 2003 when he was 14? Why are his juvenile records being reported?
You don’t know what you’re talking about.
Don’t blame or give Satan any undue credit here. The Duggars sinned and it’s their own fault. Had they dealt with this years ago by proper channels this would have not come back to bite them in the a$$. The tried to hide it as Numbers 32:23 says “ and you may be sure that your sin will find you out.”
You're 100% correct, and the only winner in it is Satan himself. The rest of us lose. It's a very heartbreaking situation, to be sure. I don't condone it or feel bad for him. He is getting his due here on earth, and he'll hafta deal with God later.
Yea he was 14 but how old was his VICTIMS??? What about THEM? I really don’t care how old he was he was old enough to know YOU DON’T DO THAT! It is not like he was 5 years old “playing doctor”. He should have been put in a reform school for what he did! His victims needed justice by way of the courts.
So his being 14 is an excuse for his getting a pass?
A 14 year old boy is old enough to know that you don’t molest 4 year olds.
A 14 year old boy who gets off on 4 year olds is a seriously disturbed individual.
I bet the response would be a bit different if he had touched other boys...
Seems to me there are two issues here. One is the issue of sin and forgiveness and repenting. The other has to do with sex crimes against children. I think some are upset as it appears that this did not get handled in the legal system.
I also admit I don’t know all.of the laws in this area. Does it make a difference if the perpetrator is a sibling and everyone involved is underage? I don’t know.
