[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He was probably just ADHD and defiant, but Kate being a controlling narcissist she needed a scapegoat for her family system to work and she couldn’t send him to Jon because that would blow her image. I suspect she calculated that in her fan base there would be sympathy for her and support for her taking the difficult step to send her special needs child to a residential facility so she could focus, poor single mom that she was, on the rest of the kids. And of course she didn’t advertise that she wasn’t visiting him or calling him or facilitating an ongoing relationship between him and his siblings - when all of those facts came out is when her fan base went *poof* and why she couldn’t shop another show concept to anyone. She is a vile person, truly.

I am not team Jon either, please don’t get me wrong. I think they are both shallow minded people to bring a litter of babies into the world in the first place, and it was despicable to make them commodities from birth and to violate their privacy their entire childhoods.

I expect we haven’t heard the end of Gosselin family dysfunction. Poor kids.

I suspect the show paid for the institution to keep the family image perfect.[/quote]

And to avoid having to film Collin not participating. He said in the Vice interview that he no longer wanted to be filmed and then showed clips of him sitting sullenly and silently next to his brothers on a couch when being filmed by the crew. TLC I think are the absolute real villains in all this. The made easily over a hundred million dollars off this family. When you look at all the money the network made, the family got peanuts. Paying for residential treatment-around 80 to 100k a year would be worth it for the network to earn millions. [/quote]

After learning what was going on behind the scene with the Duggars and the Gosselins, and Jacob Roloff coming forward about being molested by a producer, I feel ashamed that I ever enjoyed any of these shows or watched TLC. Not making that mistake again. They are really scummy.[/quote]

Agree. I feel like TLC 20 years ago was very different. It started out trying to be more educational, but then really lost its way. I don't watch any of the current family shows and didn't watch much of the Duggars, Gosselins or Roloffs. I can't believe there are new families on the channel now. Outdaughtered is one, but I've never seen it. Haven't people learned anything? The families never end up better off after these experiences. It's one thing if adults want to make asses out of themselves but kids should not be part of any of it. I will admit to watching Dr Pimple Popper, I do find that educational and interesting and I hope people are being helped, not exploited. But heck no to all the other stuff about dysfunctional families.[/quote]
