Read the gothard document on dealing with sexual abuse - #4 is the blaming the victim part.
We have every reason to believe this was the way these children were counseled. |
Can we all just agree that no matter how conservative or liberal one is, that this situation of sibling molestation is a nightmare scenario and situation that you would not wish on anyone?
|
|
Agreed. |
As a pp mentioned already, you idiot, the duggars took responsibility for what happened. |
Indeed. Neither the parents nor the brother said anything about the victims, his sisters, their daughters, at all. Nothing. Were they upset, traumatized, was it no big deal for them? Neither their parents nor their molester has said anything about them. |
I absolutely agree with this |
Perhaps respect your kids privacy? |
Years and years later when their public image is at stake.... |
Yeah, you're probably right, I mean, why else would the duggars send josh away for several months, and then bring him to the police after he returned home, and then separate him from his siblings bedrooms? I'm sure they probably sent josh away so they could spend some time punishing the daughters for what they did and then teach them how to not become victims again. That all makes the most sense, doesn't it, pp? |
Perhaps. Josh's statement, though, referred to ruining his life, not theirs. |
No, by their actions, exactly at the time it happened. Their statements to the public are separate from their actions at the time when it happened. |
Very true. Conservatives are still hateful jerks though. |
Who cares? Do you really think anyone goes around wishing people got molested? You could be surprised, or not, depending on how much you think their lifestyle led to this. The outcry is about the fact that these very public and outwardly saintly hypocrites have been passing judgment on other people and promoting discriminatory laws and laws that invade other people's privacy; that they've publicly portrayed good, perfectly innocent people as would-be molesters while hiding a real molester in their midst. |
Never met a conservative that was hateful, but have met countless angry, hate filled, foaming at the mouth, snarling, unintelligible liberals. |
