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]

I'm very sorry for what happened to you, PP.  I was not molested as a child, so I don't have this experience.  But from what I've read, there are good and bad ways to handle it, and still, it can help or not help the victims and molester.  I don't think the Duggars handled it perfectly, but I don't think  they handled it terribly.  What I think they did that was terrible was immediately and for years and years afterward living in a reality show, in public.  That's what many of the Duggar critics are most critical of.[/quote]
