[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many people are posting here from the perspective of parents and what THEY would do as PARENTS. It's sad to see the stories of abuse here, but people are free to express what they would do if confronted with this situation. If anything, this case has brought up interesting conversation, forcing us to think about really, what would we do? And it's OK for many of us to still say that yes, we would go to the police (or maybe no, we would not). That doesn't negate any of the victim's who are posting here and their experiences. I'm sorry things didn't "work out" (whatever that may mean for people who experienced abuse - no jail, therapy, whatever) but people are in fact free to respond to this. Your experience was yours. It doesn't negate our ability to discuss this case, whether we hate the duggars or not.[/quote]

Exactly.  The molestation victim who got angry and started calling everybody "asshole" is not right about what was said to her.  People said we would report it or get real therapy (which she says was horrible for her).  I said basically, "what should she have done?  Not get therapy for a victim of molestation?"  That doesn't negate her experience.  It asks the question "do you really think doing nothing is better?"
Some of us have experienced this and think that being taken seriously and getting help WAS the best thing to do.[/quote]

Excuse me. I am the one you are referring to. I called ONE person an asshole. I believe it was the person who told me I shouldnt be posting my experience because the thread wasn't about me, but I don't remember and many posts were deleted. You are really missing the point of my experience. My family was destroyed by the revelation of my being abused. My mom forced me to see a therapist who wasn't very good and I wasn't ready to talk to a stranger about what I went through. I really regret posting what happened to me, but I did because somebody stated that I had no idea if the duggars handled it well because I was never molested. So I shared my experience to show that involving the police doesn't always make things better for the victim. Some of you are so rude and insensitive, I truly can't believe it.[/quote]

I'm the PP wno posted my story on the last page. I was called a pedophile earlier in the thread because I was trying to clarify details. People can't, or choose not to, see past their own issues with the Duggar's religious practices. It's pointless to argue anything else with those posters. [/quote]

You can't really separate how the Duggars handled this from their religious practices, because the only way they handled it was to send the molester off to a religious camp.  So, how are we supposed to separate the two?  They sure didn't.[/quote]
