I find this so insanely offensive, as someone who was molested by a 14 year old cousin when I was a very young child. This had lifelong consequences for me. I am sickened that your sympathy lies with the molester.

+1 also he was 15. Not far from the age he was when he started "courting" his wife.

This is what happens when you have 20 kids or whatever ridiculous number they are up to. Statistically speaking at least one of them is going to be totally screwed up. I do wonder if the lack of normal sexual development because of their religious beliefs contributed to his actions.

Regarding the rod issue. In the police report, they ask if being hit with the rod ever left bruises and the child responded "no". Maybe that's why they weren't investigated for child abuse.

All of you crying out about brainwashing and cult need to remember Josh was subject to that as well.


I agree. A 13/14 year old boy who was just starting to have sexual feelings and is homeschooled and the only females he is exposed to are his sisters. Maybe there was never a birds and bees talk. What he did was wrong and inappropriate and the whole family needed counseling at the time but it does not mean he is a lifelong sexual predator. He was a child at the time.



First he was closer to or already 15. By his own admission today it was 12 years ago. He is 27 now. Second, I cannot fathom anyone making excuses for him. Most child molesters have horrible backgrounds. Many were abused themselves. Why is anyone making excuses for him? It also happened a second time AFTER he definitely knew it was wrong. His sisters knew it was wrong that is why they told. Horrible situation all around. Stop making excuses. The man that momested honey boo boo's sister likely had a horrible childhood is that excusable too? Catholic priests ok too? Would you let 15 year old Josh Duggar be around your 4 year old knowing "he just had a bad upbringing?"

The police report was years later. They were older then.


Yes, the report was about 3 years later.

I think there are people who have long felt the Duggars were hypocrites and/or full of shit and this scandal proves they were onto something.


BING-fucking-GO.

Police report lists 4 of the victims as living in the duggar house. He had 5 female siblings at the time. The non-victim sister is described as nearing ged completion, which leads to the conclusion that it was one of the eldest. That means both the 4 and 8 year old were touched.

Whoever's fault it is, and whoever is or is not taking glee from the Duggar downfall, their influence and their show need to be cancelled immediately!

Let me ask you something, if FRC is a "hate" group or w/e the hell you call it, can we say the same about planned parenthood? Or are you too big of hypocrites to see that?


Planned parenthood is an organization that provides healthcare, education and resources. FRC is a group that espouses hate speech and actively advocates for bigotry and discrimination. So no, not the same.


That is a matter of opinion and perception.


And fact and reality...
NP here.

Really? Then your barometer is off.


Really? So I'm wrong to think people are sick for ENJOYING a story about children being molested being exposed to the public?


+ 1

I agree with you. I do not understand why there is such glee? I think it is victimizing the victims again. I also find it odd that it was not the victims who made it public, so the timing is very suspect.

BTW - just so you know - I am not a Christian. I am married female, a mom and a registered democrat.

People are just guessing. Jim bob and Michelle are listed as the parents of four of the victims in the police report. The victim names are redacted.
