Here I thought protecting children was a virtue and child molesters were not to be trusted. Guess I was wrong.

Spare me your whining. You are conflating a young boy who fondled his sisters as a "child molester." While this is very objectionable, it does not make of him a "Child Molester" in the normal understanding of the word. For one, he himself was a child.

I think your attitude has a lot more to do with this Duggar family (a Group of which I have never heard prior to this week.) than it does with any particulars. As I mentioned before, when I was 12, my family moved to Hick-Town USA, and I saw boys doing this sort of thing on several occasions. Not to their sisters of course, but then I wouldn't have put it past some of them.

It is not the equivalent to raping or sodomizing a child by an adult. It does not even come close. For you to portray it in a like manner is thoroughly dishonest and creepy.

The boy needed a good @$$whipping and further instruction. He did not need to go to Juvenile hall or Prison. Even if every bit of it was proven, I'm not sure a Juvenile judge would have done anything more than scare him good.

If you want to defend parents who protect child molesters...

It’s strange seeing the reactions to this story when compared to the pool party in Texas. In the Duggar case a 14 year old committed disgusting crimes, but is just a child and should be forgiven and protected. At the pool party a 14 year old gets mouthy with a cop who appears to be out of control and is violently thrown to the ground because she’s a dangerous thug.
