[quote=Anonymous][b]They did take it seriously.

What support do you have for this statement?  They sent him to a Christian camp.  And they put locks on the girls' door and didn't let him babysit or play hide and seek.  Just fyi, if you've been molested, THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH.  That does not equal "taking it seriously".[/quote]

I was molested by a family member, and that sounds pretty damned good to me. My mom immediately flipped the fuck out, called the police, dragged me to therapy against my will and never once asked or thought about how I would have liked to have it handled. It went to court and the teenager (my step brother) who was molesting me (and doing much worse things than I've read that Josh Duggar did) faced no consequences. BUT I DID!!! I was humiliated, traumatized, and it literally tore my family apart and divided them. I was molested starting at age 7 until about 13 when I spoke up because I couldn't take it anymore. I have been an active poster on this thread in support of the Duggars, but didn't want to say what my experience was because I don't like to talk about it.[/b]

[quote]I'm the PP you are calling an asshole and that was entirely uncalled for. Read what you're writing here and check your own anger. This is a thread about the Duggars, not you and your life. If reading about it and being exposed to it brings up this much anger in you, perhaps you don't need to be clicking on this thread for your own good. Calling complete strangers assholes for expressing an opinion - time to log off my friend. [/quote][/quote]

I know it's not about me, but a pp asked me what support I have for my statement above "they did take it seriously" and the pp said I wouldn't know as I hadn't been molested, when in fact I went through something very similar to the duggars, but my family put zero thought into the long term consequences of their actions and flew off the handle which caused greater harm to me. My abuser got no punishment, and no counseling. We were forced into court and he lied, so he got away with it. I got traumatized by facing him in court and having to tell what happened. I had to keep talking about it to a counselor that I didn't want to see. I lost a lot of family members because our family got ripped apart because of HOW this was handled, so I think my experience is valid in this conversation. I'm sure if I was one of the duggar haters and I was screaming about how they handled it wrong you'd be treating me differently right now. You don't like it because my experience supports the opinions of others that there different ways that this can be handled, and there isn't just one right way. The duggars did a good job of handling it. Nobody's lives were ruined until now, but even still, not ruined, just dealing with a bunch of assholes who know nothing about them.[/quote]
