[Conscience of a Conservative]

When? Before these things happened? Immediately after they happened? Later when they actually found out they happened? Even more later after the son had been sent away and returned home? Even later when he was grown and out of the home but still part of their TV show (apparently)?

Then. According to the police report, Jim Bob found out about the abuse in March 2002. Did nothing. Jim Bob found out in July 2002 that another incident had occurred. Again, did nothing. Then, Jim Bob found out in March 2003 that yet another incident had occurred. That's when Jim Bob took the (minor and completely inadequate, in my opinion) step of sending him away to the so-called "counseling."

They found out that their daughters were being molested, and they did nothing for a YEAR. Nothing. Let that sink in for a second.

“They found out that their daughters were being molested, and they did nothing for a YEAR. Nothing. Let that sink in for a second.”

I’m sure they prayed about it, so they did something.

I was not aware of this at all. I do not have time to look into it further at the moment, but will plan to when I can.

If you are correct, then I will have to rethink my position.
