Recommended Posts

as a teenager? Not that I am condoning, but it sure sounds like he made the proper moves to amend the situation he caused. In a probability he was molested himself. You act like he's a grown adult out there molesting kids.........you don't feel like that's a situation that needs a little compassion and understanding?

Compassion ? Are u freaking kidding me ? So being a teen excuses you from pedophilia ? Wow ? just wow ? Clearly the man is disturbed and should be separated from anyone under age.

I think it is time to bring the entire media circus down. It starts with main stream media and entertainment. With the disgusting marketing tactics going on ever the last few years there is little wonder these borderline pedo's go full blown.

They are practically being groomed from a young age by the twisted ideals and values american advertisers are pushing on the public.

Just turn off your TV's America and go spend some quality time with your family and guide them into adulthood instead of letting disgusting wretched slobs on TV teach your children.

Western culture is going into the toilet faster than we can blink.

So then what is compassion to be used for?

Everyone should get a second chance. If it's clear that they're trying to be better and they still screw up, give them another second chance. If it's clear that they aren't trying to get better, give up.

How many chances should this guy and the community that knew his transgressions get ? This sickens me to no end. Pedophiles are wired wrong in the head and should be separated form the general public until they can prove they have gained the reasoning to not re offend.

None of this bullet to the head crap others are spewing. Two wrongs dont make a right. They need constant therapy and constant supervision.

No way another kid deserves for his life to be destroyed for this guys second chance. Sorry jazz i just cant get on the train of thought.

Where does it say 19?

Article mentions it occurred when he was 14

Sorry, I get heated about this kind of stuff. i will find the other links via BBC, Vice and RT I was reading that had a far more detailed break down of events as they allegedly happened in a more cohesive timeline.

But by their timeline his last "incident" happened shortly after his 19th birthday prior to meeting his wife.

Edit*

Here is the timeline as I've found it from two accounts.

  • March 2002: A female minor told Jim Bob that Josh, who had just turned 14, touched her breasts and genitals while she slept, on multiple occasions.
  • July 2002: Josh admitted to fondling a girl’s breasts while she slept. Jim Bob told police the family “disciplined” Josh but didn’t tell authorities.
  • March 2003: There was, according to Jim Bob, “another incident.” Josh was apparently accused by several minors of touching their breasts and genitals while both asleep and awake.
  • March 2003: Jim Bob told the elders of their church what was going on. No one told the police.
  • March 17, 2003 – July 17, 2003: Josh was sent to a “program [that] consisted of hard physical work and counseling.” Michelle later said he was actually sent to a family friend in the remodeling business, and there was no counseling involved.
  • 2003: Jim Bob and some of the church elders took Josh to Arkansas State Trooper Jim Hutchens, whom Jim Bob knew personally. Hutchens gave Josh a “very stern talk” but didn’t take official action. He’s currently serving a 56-year prison sentence for child pornography.
  • 2006: A letter, written by a family friend detailing what he knew of the acts during the time Josh was accused, was discovered in a book loaned to someone else. The Duggars wouldn’t say who wrote or found it.
  • 2006: An email, written by an unidentified 61-year-old woman, was sent to Oprah Winfrey’s show when the Duggars were set to appear, warning them about the accusations. Harpo Studios faxed the email to the Department of Human Services, leading to a police investigation.

Edit** Cannot find the original stories and appears they may have been erroneous, so my apologies for sensationalizing this in any way. In total 5 recorded events between family and family friends.

Regardless, this is still sickening and while he may indeed ask for redemption. as the father of two daughters I'd sooner put him down than give him the satisfaction. Some things in life are absolutely sacrosanct. The innocence of a child is one of them.

It's been 12 years since he's done this. Obviously he's changed. Yeah, he screwed up, but who hasn't in one way or another? Give the guy a break and a chance to redeem himself.

At the risk of destroying another child life ? I just cannot imagine hearing "well he was doing so good and we though he was out of the woods." and now little Suzy is in a lifetime of therapy so a pedo can get a second third chance ? No cannot wrap my head around this.

There is a reason why we have places for the sick in the head to go.

I get that you think it's risky, but everyone has the risk that they might destroy someone's life. Should we put everyone in an insane asylum, or just wait for the first crime to occur?

Sounds like TLC was trying to keep it hush hush so they could keep one of their more popular programs going.....shady.

I also don't understand how someone is supposed to learn something from watching this show, TLC should at least be semi educational in its programming (as per the networks name). I guess you can learn that having 19 kids in a vastly overpopulated and resource starved world is irresponsible and reckless...but I'd hope most would know that already.

We put dogs down for attacking children

Why should a human being be any different?

My biggest issue is how the family the pastor and everyone involved did everything possible to keep it so absolutely quiet when in the real world, touching a child even as a minor is a jailing offense. He will never be punished in this life for what he did.

Again, the innocence of a child is and should always be sacrosanct. Some things deserve punishment. This is one of them.

On a side note.

*Now selling "Touched By A Duggar" Tees only $25.99

They're a Christian family. Matthew 18:15 "If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over."

A couple of those sisters are definitely smashable.

Someone already got there first bud

Duggar needs a dagger right to the jewels.

I certainly hope you don't have kids. Because if you do, they aren't safe.
