The actions of one of their horde had nothing to do with the TV show. They would have kept having all those children whether or not they were on TV.
The fact that they reported the actions of a minor child to the police, who did nothing, further served to exempt them and absolve them from criticism in their own minds. They thought that they handled it. They got the kid out of the house and sent him to one of those tough love work camps for incorrigible children, a kind of private reformatory.
I don’t care that they took the Duggars off the air. It was a horrible show, but then I hate all reality TV. I think that Funham should be off the air, too, if people are going to make so much of the Duggar revelations.
Agreed. The show being gone is the only positive thing that has happened. The best thing for everyone involved is to get them out of the limelight and let the children heal. I think them trotting out to Fox News was a poor choice and only serves to prolong the issue. They should just go away and stop trying to justify themselves.
