I am aghast how anyone can be apologetic for the Duggars.
There are good, decent, honorable people of a variety of faiths. None of those words can be applicable to the Duggar parents, their cult brand of Christianity, or Josh. And please spare me the "he was 14" bullshit. Josh was making jokes about incest on the show, as a grown ass man. That's not what remorseful people do. |

+1 It's like when the political board was discovered by NRA advocates in the wake of Newton. You can't reason with these people - they are only here to spew vitriol (while not even realizing that it what they are doing and that it does nothing to help their cause). |

^ That's great news.
Is there a comprehensive list of other TLC/19 Kids,etc advertisers somewhere, that have yet to drop their sponsorship? |

| Earlier in the thread there were people talking about how this wasn't a big deal because the statute of limitations had run out, blah blah blah. Alison Arngrim (Nellie Oleson) was a victim of child sexual assault by her brother and she worked very hard to change some of the laws around statutes of limitation and punishments (in the State of California it used to be something ridiculous like child sexual assault wasn't punishable if it was done by a family member). Maybe this case will spur lawmakers to work on that idiotically short statute of limitations. I'm guessing Josh isn't cured and mandated therapy would be beneficial |

Thank you PP. Apparently the only way to get TLC and the Duggars to stop pimping out their family is via the wallet. Which makes total sense. As soon as it's no longer a cash cow, they will pull the plug.
I'm a Christian, go to church with my kids, try to teach them right from wrong, and there is no way on God's green earth I would cover up sexual predatory behavior from ANY of my three kids. I have a 13 year old son, and if I had an inkling that he was touching one of his sisters, or any young child inappropriately, I would get him treatment, (which yes, means a licensed therapist - who would be a mandatory reporter) and get the victims help ASAP. I know as a mom that I would not be doing my son or my girls any favors by sweeping this under the rug or pretending nothing was happening. And I can't even imagine parading my kids on TV, spouting crap that is completely opposite of what they are experiencing at home. And no, it is NOT normal behavior for 13, 14, 15 year old boys to fondle young, pre-teen girls. Unless they are child molesters. |

A 14 year old boy who is a child molester is
ENTIRELY DIFFERENT than an adult pedophile. |

Well.... he is an adult now |

have you see Jessa's father-in-law's blog? He doesn't seem to understand grammar:
In a lengthy blog post Sunday, Michael Seewald — whose son, Ben, is married to Jessa Duggar — wrote: The Seewald family stands with the Duggar family in solidarity. We stand with the unnamed victims of these incidents. Our thoughts and prayers are for you. I want to say to Josh, hang in there, the shame you feel is legitimate, yet Jesus took your shame as he was punished in your place. Rest in his forgiveness and grace. Remember that he gives you his righteousness as a covering for your shame. Let this trial in your life build humility and grace. Don’t be angry at the world for their hatred of you. Show them through your love for them that it is Jesus Christ that made all the difference in your life. I’m rooting for you. http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/acts-of-faith/wp/2015/05/26/josh-duggar-found-forgiveness-and-cleansing-from-jesus-christ-relative-says/ |

and pedophiles become pedophiles at...18? No, they have urges earlier, and many act on it. Many adult pedophiles admit starting as teenagers. |

Child sex offenders are unlikely to re-offend. They are NOT the same as adult pedophiles at all. |

"Moreover, early thinking about juvenile sexual offending behavior was based on what was
known about adult child molesters, particularly the adult pedophile, under the mistaken belief that a significant portion of them began their offending during childhood. However, more recent clinical models emphasize that this retrospective logic has obscured important motivational, behavioral, and prognostic differences between youth sex offenders and adult sex offenders and has therefore overestimated the role of deviant sexual tendencies in people convicted of sex offenses as children. More current models emphasize the diversity among children who commit sexual offenses, who in the great majority of cases have a favorable prognosis for never reoffending sexually.
