IMO they are not freaks, but they are FAKES. They are strict followers of Bill Gothard and his twisted ideology. Gothard TEACHES that victims of sexual assault are partly responsible for their assault (what did they DO to arouse their assailant?) Place that mindset alongside the youngest Duggar daughter (at 5 years old) being fondled by Josh during story time (sitting on his lap—which later was forbidden w/any of the boys by Michelle’s own admission) and you have to see that there a huge problem with Josh.
Though locks were placed on bedroom doors, children’s games of hide and seek forbidden, none of the brothers ever left alone or in charge of their sisters (all admitted by Michelle and JimBob to Megan Kelley) the most immediate action wasn’t done. Josh Duggar should have been removed from the family home and sent to live with childless relatives while being given counseling treatment. That wasn’t done. He was kept in the household (appearances for grooming for the TLC show?) until months later (again admitted by his parents) and then he was sent to a family friend doing home renovations (not professional Christian or secular sexual abuse counseling).
All of this occurring while negotiating a TV contract for a reality show to promote the Duggars as the ideal Christian family. They knew they had a serious problem with one child victimizing his younger sisters and yet JimBob and Michelle forged ahead...freaks NO...FAKES YES.
FAKES?? geesh....even the timeline that you just gave PROVED Jim Bob and Michelle did EVERYTHING they could. What family EXPELS a child......that would have been awful for the ENTIRE family. He didn’t RAPE them....OMG...I cannot believe you are a mom and would send your child away.....cold.
Might want to find out THE TRUTH about things, instead of what you have heard from biased sources.
What you are spouting is complete hogwash.
