[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think we can agree that for any family this would be a very difficult situation.  You would want to protect your teenage son from a lifetime of castigation and judgment from society, but you would want the behavior to stop immediately.  I can empathize with that challenge.  I personally think they made a big mistake.  I think that the first and most important decision they should have made was to get Josh away from the girls, because however you may wish to classify the damage being done to them, there WAS damage being done.  Perhaps not rape, but something that would make any girl upset.  I imagine in a house where sex outside of procreation was absolutely verboten, the fondling/molestation would be very difficult to even verbalize.  By my math, if it started when Josh was 14 as is claimed, then the girls would be as young as 8.  These are children who in my mind are too young to handle such a large decision as forgiving the sinner (which is what I believe the statements say happened -- that Josh confessed, apologized and was forgiven in the family setting).

I would have also hoped sincerely to protect my son from having his whole life ruined by his actions, of course.  But I would have first addressed the damage being done within the family by his actions, then work to get him the kind of help he clearly needed.  And to get the girls the help they would need to deal with this.

That's just my take.[/quote]
The report states 4 sisters (out of 5 at the time). They would have been 12, 10, 9, 8, and 5.[b] It is logical to assume either the oldest or youngest wasn't molested[/b].[/quote]

How is that logical to assume?[/quote]

The police report says that one of the two oldest sisters was not molested.[/quote]
