Should all the Duggar Kids/Young Adults be Removed from their Home

There were multiple admissions. They can't be found guilty at this point unless new victims come forward. They ran out the statute by reporting to a mandatory reporter who chose to not file charges and who is now serving time for child porn.

The fact that a court hasn't found them guilty doesn't mitigate their factual guilt, just their legal guilt.

I hope that this triggers an extensive investigation in ALL of the Duggar households. IF his victims are reproducing, they may have psychological damage that causes them to ignore the same things happening to their children.

Josh is an ADMITTED child molester, he needs to be watched with an eagle eye.

I hope to hell that if he's victimized more people it comes out so he's locked up. His admissions of past guilt, with his repeated talks to the media - are no longer hearsay. They can be used against him in court.

i dont defend what he did at all, but honestly, would you ant to be judged on the stupid things you did when you were 14/15? and growing up in a household where you are sheltered from the world, told that sex is bad, and masturbation is a sin, what did that family think was going to happen???

I would hope someone would have judged me and would continue to judge me if I were harming children.

I'm sorry he was raised in a poisonous environment; that doesn't excuse him.

If society is going to allow this kind of ignorance to permeate, it needs to be willing to handle the humans resulting from such an ignorant upbringing to be handled in such a way that they don't pose a threat to everyone else.

Admissions are often made under duress and people claim to do all sorts of things they didn't. How many people havd claimed to kill Jon Benet Ramsey or claim they were at Woodstock?

What we have is nothing but unsubstantiated accusations and dubious confessions. No charges, no court finding of guilt. Just a bunch of hateful Christophobes trying to convict someone in the court of public opinion.

I don't watch this stupid show, but the few times I saw it the wife acts like she's had a lobotomy or something. What's with the 45-year-old baby voice? Creepy.

Sad to have so many kid that get molested in this Quiverfill movement situation and they are silenced with threats. That family should talk to social services if they have nothing to hide. I don't feel the remaining children at home are safe based on what has transpired. A child molester is different than a 15 year old boy being curious about girls his own age. Josh is sexually attracted to children. That's a big problem that usually doesn't go away with prayer. He needs specialized support and his victims do as well. Jana, the oldest daughter remains at home perhaps to protect the other children.

I don't watch it either, but apparently it's huge among the Christophobe crowd. They seem to know everything about this family and the show.

So happy the Duggars were not a story I was at all familiar with. Didn't know who they were. Gonna keep it that way.

This.

I think they actually decided to seek out some kind of legal intervention when he was 16 (which he was at the time of the eventual police report despite molesting girls for over a year and continuing to wrack up victims with his parent's full knowledge of his proclivities. I mean, he molests ONE sister and how could the parents have known about his mental defect? But after they're made aware of his attraction to little children they give him so little supervision that he molests 3 more siblings and a friend of his little sister's? If you determine that he CAN'T be held responsible due to his age, doesn't that automatically make his negligent parents responsible for lack of supervision of a known child molester??) because if he was still found to be molesting children that young AFTER 16, he could have been formally have been diagnosed as a pedophile. Bad for business.

He's demonstrated a very clear desire to sexually victimize LITTLE kids from his mid-teens. There's something wrong with him, which they KNEW or they wouldn't have hidden it until the statue expired.

I sense he probably has more victims, most molesters do. Hopefully they come forward. Hopefully he's ultimately held legally liable for his actions. And if any of his assaults occurred after the age of 16 to small children, he will likely be officially diagnosed as a pedophile. If the legal system gets their hands on him, his parents won't be able to hide his adult self behind quackery and faith healers. He'll be sent away for a REAL evaluation and get a proper diagnosis. Maybe put on a registry, where he clearly belongs and belonged since he was 14-15 years old.

Bravo.

The lady doth protest too much, methinks

Bottom line here;

We have a HUGE white, Christian family that stars in a very popular t.v. show. Our depraved, brainwashed populace reacts like Pavlov's dogs at so many white children, especially being home schooled and raised with Christian values.

Isn't it amazing how this family is being toppled in the most predictable, Hollywood-like manner? If a screenwriter had to produce a script that would please all those who rule this culture, this would be it. Clean-cut looking young Christian white guy, already with 3 kids of his own, discovered to have "molested" his sisters when he was young.

None of this is remotely believable. Oprah being involved? Come on! And her involvement dates to 2006? So...why is this story suddenly breaking NINE years later? WHO leaked this story? The details here are hardly incriminating. 13-14 year old boys are typically thinking of nothing else but sex. So here this kid had no other girls in his environment to even look at. Siblings used to play "Doctor" back in the days before everyone became a potential "pedophile."

If the girls appear to have come through this unscathed, and Josh seems to be living a good life, what is the issue? There is only one word for it- vengeance. What the Duggars don't realize is that their enemies don't believe in forgiveness. Unless, of course, the accused is gay, or black, or jewish, or transgender. Then, we all must be tolerant and everything's cool.

The point about Lena Dunham is a great one. Where was the outcry over that? I think the answer is obvious. Only white males- especially proud Christians ones- can be demonized like this, over incidents that took place when the accused himself was a minor. With everyone claiming victim status in our civilization, I'd advise Josh to do that- claim that "Hey, I was just a kid, too. I'm a victim here as well." But that wouldn't work- the authoritarian Left wants to throw the book at such "criminals."

Maybe the Duggars are real actors. I don't know. But the way this worked out was just too "perfect" for those who run our society. Even if we assume this case is legitimate, I've never understand how legal children-as Josh was during the time in question- can be considered "child molesters." Where do we draw the line on children being responsible for what they do? If a 14 year old can willfully force himself on a younger child, why can't be consent to having sex with an adult?

We don't know the details at all, or if this is just another fake story to distract the sheeple. Yet even on an open- minded forum like this, so many of you are ready to prosecute this young man for something he did, if he did it at all, when he himself was a child.

sounds like a good reason to not lock up your kids and home school them to me...

Right

There's nothing inherently sinister about keeping kids ignorant and unexposed to the rest of the world for your own purposes LOL

But not being too concerned about pop culture to use them as media whores to pay the bills ;)

Without the Quiverfull philosophy that leads to children being born, these kids would not have existed at all here.

Ask the girls if they would rather not have had their vaginas touched because they had never been born.

I know that's not the legal question, but maybe some of our morality expressed in our cultural expectations and laws is actually a form of birth control. Now when there's some smoke here, we get people wanting more and more intensive investigation and looking inside of families.

People who probably don't even have their own families. Isn't that more like voyeurism?

I agree, Josh was probably also abused, so he repeated what was done to him.

That said, there is also the possibility that it was ONLY INNOCENT CURIOUSITY by a horny, 15 year-old boy who had NO WHERE TO GO WITH HIS "URGES", questions, thoughts, etc...living in the repressive, sexually starved home he lived in. Kid couldn't find a Penthouse magazine if he wanted to!

Seems like, once he got married, and can "get it whenever he wants it," he settled right down!

Prolly several other of the boys will have this problem as well......THAT would worry me more than Josh.

That's the way the husband like her.

THAT's CREEPY to me!

You have jumped to a wrong conclusion here.

When he was "touching" his sisters here, he was a young teen, but so were his victims.

In fact, I believe he "touched" ALL of his sisters.....but there were ONLY FOUR OF THEM at the time, and I guess he checked them all out!

It was NOT because they were children, I believe it was because they were GIRLS, and he wanted to know what the differences were!

maybe the supervisor said: "this is a can of worms, stay away from it."

Are you for real? 19 kids in the house, the mother pregnant damn near all the time, and you think the home was sexually repressive? You obviously don't much about Mormons.

I'll tell you what is creepy. The Kardashian family. The average American family is more like the Kardashians than the Duggars. So its not surprising creepy people find the normal creepy.

OK, let's decide as society to lock up everyone who has ever committed an act such as child molestation while a child themselves.

Every act of show me yours and I will show you mine.

We can discuss the issue of consent but when you are underage you can't give consent. Then we can discuss the issue of age difference or incest but all you are doing is saying when this happens it is ok but in this other instance it is wrong.

If you are 18 trying to buy alcohol it is a crime in the US. If you are in college at a frat party and blind drunk it is a rite of passage.

I would rather lock up every kid who has ever smoked a joint or had a beer before 21 than worry about kids being kids. Otherwise lock them all up whenever they make confession about their lives no matter who they make it to.
