josh was 12 years old at the time. the family did not try and cover up what had happened in fact they were the one to bring it forward to the authorities. it seems to me that this is a nonscandal scandal. if josh had been one or two years older when this took place and if it had been more then fondling I would be not as kind. I remember when I was 12 trying to catch a glimpse of my sister and her friend changing in the bathroom. that was wrong but it was only the action of a child. what josh did was worse but it does not mean he is a pedophile it only means that he was a immature kid discovering his sexuality very inappropriately.
I am pretty sure that the learning channel knew about this and that it is only because it is public now that they are getting rid of the programing.
They did try to cover it up to the extent they waited one to four years to report it.

The incidents themselves happened, according to the report, in ‘02. The family didn’t approach the authorities until ‘06. And not willingly then.
They were in Chicago to be on a taping of the Oprah show when one of the producers got wind of the ‘josh molested his sisters’ rumor and called the police back in Arkansas.
14yr olds who fondle their 4yr old sisters aren’t just displaying ‘inappropriate sexuality’. They’re pedophiles.
