Yeah. So. Does anyone think the Duggar Family can survive this?


I'm personally disgusted. I was just warming up to them (barely....in a I can't believe what I'm watching kind of way ) and now they make my skin crawl. Now all their asinine rules make sense. They were protecting their kids from the predator in their home. Sickening.

I have always been neutral when it came to them. I didn't really like them, but I didn't really dislike them either, because I felt they just lived their life and had their own set of morals. Now, I feel like they have used their "religion" as a pass to say and do things that I feel like most Christians that don't follow that type of "religion" agree with. I do feel bad for the children because they don't have any control on how they are being raised (brain-washed). Most of the children seem like good kids that are caught in a world they have no control over - it has to be very confusing to them. I really have no sympathy for the parents. They are the ones to blame for creating the atmosphere they did. As for Josh, I have no sympathy for what he did, but he obviously needed help - and didn't get it, was his strict upbringing to blame for what he did? We are only seeing what they want us to see on TV. Who knows what really went on, I bet there will be more that comes out eventually. One of them will talk.

I looked over the police report online -one of the kids stated they have been spanked with a "rod" -so I imagine there are more things that have happened.

But the reports say he did get help. Jim Bob set up counseling for him and all the people involved.

It was an incident that happened long ago that has been brought up from the past. As far as we know nothing new has happened and Josh Duggar has overcome it.

I'm disgusted by the actions but I can see how his upbringing perpetuated it. But I'm also pleased with most of the steps taken by the parents afterwards.

He should have been prosecuted. And it is disgusting that he was not.

He didn't get help - he was sent to do manual labor with a friend. Per Michelle. That is not exactly help.

ETA - This was posted in a news source - take it for what it is worth. Idk if this is what they are referring to as his counseling.

Michelle Duggar later admitted to police that Josh did not receive counseling and instead had been sent during that time to a family friend who was in the home remodeling business.

Asked about the training center that Jim Bob said Josh was sent to, Michelle told police, according to the report, “it was not really a training center. Det. [Darrell] Hignite asked if the guy [redacted, Josh] talked to was a certified counselor. She said no. She said it was a guy they know in Little Rock that is remodeling a building. Det. Hignite asked if the guy was more of a mentor. She said “kind of.”

wow... had no clue what you were talking about till i looked it up. i use to love their show, now not so much. then again im not to surprised something like that or something in general would happen. when you shelter your kids THAT MUCH, they tend to make the dumbest mistakes later in life.
 
Please point me to where you are getting this information. Because from everything I've read it says he was sent to counseling. Not to do manual labor.

"Michelle Duggar supposedly later admitted to police that Josh had not received counseling, but was sent to a family friend who was in the home remodeling business.

When Josh returned, the Duggars still did not contact authorities. Instead, they took him to Arkansas State Trooper Jim Hutchens's home. He was a Duggar family friend. According to the report, Hutchens did not take any official action and instead gave Josh a "very stern talk." In Touch reports that Hutchens is now serving 56 years in prison for child pornography."

I feel like his upbringing and inability to explore and learn about relationships in a normal way may have contributed to his behavior HOWEVER WRONG IS WRONG. His religious teachings taught him this behavior was wrong and he did it anyway.

The girls were never properly counseled. He got to 4 out of 5 of his sisters who were 12, 10, 9,8 and 4 at the time and probably touched the youngest 4.

His parents KNEW and kept him around and continued to have 4 more little girls. Didn't get them proper help but instead sent them to Journey to the Heart----a fundie camp aimed at keeping girls sweet and pure

josh was sent to ALERT to "straighten him out".

This all baffles me. This family is nuts. So much of their behavior is explained by this. Why the boys aren't allowed in the girls rooms. Why the girls in early episode slept in polos and full denim skirts

It makes me concerned that the younger boys or even girls will exhibit the same behavior as Josh since they still aren't being educated properly

Josh always weirded me out, now he does even more. Ick. I can't believe they'd allow him to still live in their home after he did that to his sisters....are we sure it's his sisters?

It is in the police report that the victims ( at least 4) resided in the home of Michelle and Jim Bob.

The linked article said it was some of his sisters as well as other girls (related to him?).
 
"The LGBT Community is a threat to children's safety" DIRECT FREAKING QUOTE. From Josh Duggar. The child molester. He was a high ranking employee for one of the most politically active groups, actively lobbying against LGBT rights (among other things).

Not to get political but this.....I just.....I have no words.
