That is right. I believe it is our duty to condem the way the VAn Dams have choosen to raise their children. I believe it is our duty to the children and to future parents. This whole discussion began with one's right to pass judgement based upon past knowledge. I still don't think it is wrong and in fact I hope we as a society can continue to pass judgement vocally on other horrible behavior.
I think it benefits our society to say there are some behaviors that are not acceptable when rasing children.

Yes, their personal lives suck and they are very self-centered..kind of like Hugh Hefner, and Ted Turner....but according to all accounts, the kids were very happy, well adjusted and behaved...unlike the kids of addicts, druggies and alcoholics. Thanksfully, the counselor will report any suspicions of abuse to the authorities because if she doesn't, she can be charged with a crime. (according to what I understand)
