She also didn’t go to work for the Family Research Council
Are you serious?
Did not cover it up? They did not report it to anyone for over a year, and when they did, it was to a state trooper who they knew, and who did not take any action other than a stern talking to.
Oh, and that state trooper was himself convicted of child porn.
Oh, and all of this was happening right at the start of their TV show. Do you think TLC would have aired the show for so long if the molestation had been properly reported?
What I thought was creepy were episodes like the one where two of the girls got wisdom teeth pulled. Making money out of your children going through a difficult and scary time is creepy.
Having read most of the responses here....at Free Republic.....I am personally sickened by the braying mob attitude you all are expressing....
Dear mercy......I never thought I would see this on Free Republic
...and I’ve been here 16 years.....
....I can only imagine the diatribe against me after I post this.....
Dear mercy
Anyone who disagrees with you or has a different approach is slammed and shamed into silence,
Is this really Free Republic?
You will not be satisfied until this young man and his family are personally destroyed.
Very sad.
I saw the segment that was mentioned and it was creepy as hell.
“The father brought the son to that state trooper back in 2003, immediately after the son returned from the three-month “treatment program.” Click here for page 14 of the police report.”
The state trooper who, despite being a mandated reporter under Arkansas law, did not report the incident and instead gave Josh a stern talking to? That’s the action Jim Bob took to protect his daughters? Ha!
It is an online forum where different opinions are expressed.
Here is the essential problem (for me). This isn’t just boys being boys and it was not dealt with appropriately at the time. It is being handled as damage control for political and financial reasons.
The Duggars chose to do this to their family, not me. Now that the cat is out of the bag, they can suffer the consequences they deserve.
The kids are the victims in all of this. That is entirely my point. Jimbob and Michelle are horrible parents.
I can only think of what charges the parents could have faced by covering it up and also, child protective services would have been breaking their door down to remove the kids from the home.
Well, I’m not going to endorse that, LOL. But another factor to consider is whether Josh himself was abused, and if so, by whom.
Exactly. And there goes the money. So cover it up and hope for the best.
A note tucked into a book is the only reason we know about it. God works in mysterious ways.
As a heart attack. Just go to youtube and type in "duggars golf course."
I am no prude but that disgusts me.
It was mostly tongue in cheek, but even the Amish let them run wild for a season. I think that was on TLC, too. lol
Well, that's true, but the hypocrisy is still there
Molesting your sister whether you are a professed Christian or a whacked out progressive lesbian shank, like Durham, it still wrong and the left barely made a peep about her actions and basically were like dogs trying to cover up her droppings...
Very few people on the right, even Christian right are going to bat for him, yet the left is demonizing this guy...while their own are barely touched...
Literally rubbing in what they are allowed as parents to do that the kids can’t. Sick and distorted but not surprising when control and oppression seem to be all this so-called family is about.
Just saw it. They are creepy.
It's the same with me. I knew the Duggars were a bit off, but that shocked me.
What goes around comes around, and some posters have a full dish coming their way.
