We should use this story to bring these kinds of issues to light with empathy and belief of the victim, not to circle the wagons and fight what brought the Duggar sexual abuse scandal to light in the first place.

The Last Nail in the Duggar Media Coffin. Gimme the Hammer!
http://www.politicususa.com/2015/06/07/nail-duggar-media-coffen-gimme-hammer.html

Utilizing the Freedom of Information Act for its transparency intent, In Touch obtained the second of two police reports on Josh Duggars reprehensible incestuous acts, allegedly committed when he was 14 and 15 years of age. Four (out of five at the time) of his sisters were targets as well as one young babysitter who was sleeping over.

To get the Josh Duggar story, InTouch utilized solid investigative journalism

Unlike the highly orchestrated Jenner story, the revelations about Duggar came from actual journalistic digging. And it came from a somewhat unlikely source: InTouch Weekly, a magazine and Web site not known as a giant of investigative journalism, even within the Kardashian-centric universe it inhabits.

Duggars were investigated by DHS in May and 911 was called, new report claims
http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2015/06/10/duggars-were-investigated-by-dhs-in-may-and-11-was-called-new-report-claims/

The call was supposedly just days after a May 19 report by In Touch revealed Josh Duggar had sexually abused five females – including four sisters -- when he was 14 or 15 back in 2002 and 2003. Josh Duggar, his parents, and two of his sisters—Jessa Seewald and Jill Dillard—have since spoken openly about the abuse.

“Well, we’re Washington County DHS office and we’re out here to, uh, we have an investigation,” the voice on the recording tells a 911 dispatcher. “I guess they’re not being cooperative, and we have to see the child to make sure the child is all right. So we just need police assistance or escort.”
