Yes they are horrible parents but it is my understanding that they got all children involved professional help. Assuming that is the case, what more should they have done. And as far as when they went to the police....who cares. VERY few parents would take their kid to the police in this kind of a situation. They would want to handle it internally to save their child from the risk of legal consequences. If your son brushed his fingers over a girl's breasts while she slept would you haul him down to the cops? If you say yes, I say you are full of shit.

Now you're downplaying what Josh actually did. He did this to 4 or 5 (4 sisters I believe) girls. He has a real sickness, and it's a sickness that doesn't go away. I would have sent him to a facility that deals with his type of illness. And I'm not going to assume they sent him or the girls for professional help, because they never stated they took them to a licensed therapist.
Michelle Duggar recounts a story that her husband told his older children “to explain the importance of purity.”
“Imagine that your parents are going to surprise you and give you a brand-new bike for Christmas. Two weeks before Christmas, they buy your bike and hide it in the storage shed in the backyard. But then the boy next door sneaks into the shed and borrows your new bike; he stunt-rides it up and down the back alley.
“On Christmas morning your parents lead you out to the shed to reveal the special gift they bought for you, and as they open the door and say, ‘Surprise!’ they’re just as surprised as you are. You’re all shocked to see that the bike looks like it’s been thrown off a cliff. The front fender is missing, and the front tire is warped so it rubs on the frame. It’s dirty, the paint is all scratched and chipped, and the seat has a big rip in it. It looks worse than something you would have bought at a garage sale.
“I’m sure you would still be grateful for the bike, and you would have fun riding it, but it won’t be in the condition your parents had hoped and dreamed it would be when you received it. You would miss out on a lot of the enjoyment they meant for you to have.
“In that same way, we don’t want any boy (or girl) to come and steal your purity.”
Note the emphasis: The onus to protect your purity is on you. If someone steals your purity, you are a ruined bicycle with warped tires and a ripped seat. Your value has been stolen. Your parents’ dreams are ruined. You are used and cheap and valueless.
This is a horrible thing to tell anyone.

Perspective is everything Carla. For example, he released a statement saying he is addicted to porn. Well is he REALLY addicted to porn? Well maybe. I don't know how much porn he watches or how it affects his life. It could be that he watches the same amount of porn as every other man in the world (maybe even less) but because he perceives porn as something terrible and sinful then watching a small amount of porn makes you an addict. Meanwhile, another couple who was raised in a far healthier environment might look at his porn habits and say "pffft...big fucking deal. That is nothing". Now I am not saying he is or isn't a porn addict. That is for him to decide. I am just saying that your perception of "evil" or "good and bad" is going to depend on your background which shapes your perspective and the living environment you have created for yourself or has been thrust upon you.
Now....dont get me wrong. I am not defending this kids actions with these girls....but honestly I have seen a lot worse than brushing fingers over clothed breasts while someone slept. I am not saying that is ok. I am just saying that compared to a lot of other examples of child molestation, it's pretty light. I dated a girl in college whose father did FAR more to her on a weekly basis than brushing his fingers over her when she slept. That girl is fucked for life as a result. So what he did was wrong, yes...but this wasn't exactly hardcore molestation, rape, etc.
BTW...statistically most people who do this as children or adolescents do not continue the behavior as adults.This kid may prove to be the exception...who knows. What I will say is that this is a textbook example of how religion can be destructive when not approached in a healthy way

They DID get all of them professional counseling. I never heard that the police was a friend I saw their interview, they went into the station and didn't know the guy that Josh spoke to, he was just the one on duty and he didn't condone what he did. The officer gave him a stern talking to about it and told him that it was very serious what he did but what more can they do? It isn't like someone was pressing charges on him.
And just to stir the pot a little I will throw this out there (and no I do not agree nor think this way at all) what was he doing wrong on the adult website? Did he actually go out with someone? Maybe he was just hunting for women to send him dirty pictures and talk dirty to him. If he didn't actually physically do anything with any women is that really cheating? Would it be considered cheating if it were anyone else? I am really interested in the men's take on that especially.
What IS the criteria that is considered cheating on the wife?

Geeze....you really are naive. Maybe you don't think there is anything wrong with belonging to a secret organization that encourages you to cheat on your spouse and spending money to do so, but do you think it is okay Christian behavior? And you think lying to his wife and family while counseling people on marriage and divorce is okay too, as long as he didn't physically do anything with any woman? He claimed to have received forgiveness for his previous crime of pedophilia.....but didn't have any qualms about joining a secret organization that encourages adultery. While this new gig may not be criminal, it certainly isn't Christian behavior, and those that defended him so vehemently and claimed he was healed may have to rethink it.

No, they did not get them professional counseling, and the man that gave him a stern talking to is in prison for child pornography. He was a friend of the family. They are surrounded by perverts, because that is what their cult breeds.

Do you have any link showing that when a 14 year old molests 4 sisters, some while sleeping, some while awake, he usually outgrows this behavior without any professional counseling? I'd like to see that bit of information.

You seem to read what you want to in a comment and take a piece out that suits you.(and no I do not agree nor think this way at all) Meaning I didn't endorse it but obviously millions of others do it and I do not see them being judged for it.
And while we are on the subject of adultery...have you ever looked up what constituted it from a biblical standpoint especially for a man? Let's just say the rules are a lot looser for a man than a woman. Maybe I will start another discussion about that alone

How Often Do Juvenile Sex Offenders Reoffend?
Juvenile sex offenders appear to respond better to treatment and reoffend less frequently than adult sex offenders. Sexual reoffense rates for youth over several years are estimated at approximately 10%. In addition, if juvenile sex offenders reoffend, they are far more likely to engage in other types of delinquent behavior than to commit new sex crimes.

Josh never got any professional treatment.
Josh and his wife are committed to plopping out babies every chance they get, and are planning to have as many as Gawd will allow. Even after all the public humiliation of his juvenile perversions, having to resign from his job, losing the reality show (the bread and butter for the family) Josh has recently been busted for pornography and signing up on a web site to help married people cheat on their spouse, and the dummy used his real name.
So tell me, would you let him babysit your children...your grandchildren?

Where do you get your information that he never received professional counseling? You seem to spread rumors you hear instead of finding out facts.Yes they are horrible parents but it is my understanding that they got all children involved professional help. Assuming that is the case, what more should they have done. And as far as when they went to the police....who cares. VERY few parents would take their kid to the police in this kind of a situation. They would want to handle it internally to save their child from the risk of legal consequences. If your son brushed his fingers over a girl's breasts while she slept would you haul him down to the cops? If you say yes, I say you are full of shit.
Now you're downplaying what Josh actually did. He did this to 4 or 5 (4 sisters I believe) girls. He has a real sickness, and it's a sickness that doesn't go away. I would have sent him to a facility that deals with his type of illness. And I'm not going to assume they sent him or the girls for professional help, because they never stated they took them to a licensed therapist.
Michelle Duggar recounts a story that her husband told his older children “to explain the importance of purity.”
“Imagine that your parents are going to surprise you and give you a brand-new bike for Christmas. Two weeks before Christmas, they buy your bike and hide it in the storage shed in the backyard. But then the boy next door sneaks into the shed and borrows your new bike; he stunt-rides it up and down the back alley.
“On Christmas morning your parents lead you out to the shed to reveal the special gift they bought for you, and as they open the door and say, ‘Surprise!’ they’re just as surprised as you are. You’re all shocked to see that the bike looks like it’s been thrown off a cliff. The front fender is missing, and the front tire is warped so it rubs on the frame. It’s dirty, the paint is all scratched and chipped, and the seat has a big rip in it. It looks worse than something you would have bought at a garage sale.
“I’m sure you would still be grateful for the bike, and you would have fun riding it, but it won’t be in the condition your parents had hoped and dreamed it would be when you received it. You would miss out on a lot of the enjoyment they meant for you to have.
“In that same way, we don’t want any boy (or girl) to come and steal your purity.”
Note the emphasis: The onus to protect your purity is on you. If someone steals your purity, you are a ruined bicycle with warped tires and a ripped seat. Your value has been stolen. Your parents’ dreams are ruined. You are used and cheap and valueless.
This is a horrible thing to tell anyone.
The Duggars’ dangerous cult of purity
Perspective is everything Carla. For example, he released a statement saying he is addicted to porn. Well is he REALLY addicted to porn? Well maybe. I don't know how much porn he watches or how it affects his life. It could be that he watches the same amount of porn as every other man in the world (maybe even less) but because he perceives porn as something terrible and sinful then watching a small amount of porn makes you an addict. Meanwhile, another couple who was raised in a far healthier environment might look at his porn habits and say "pffft...big fucking deal. That is nothing". Now I am not saying he is or isn't a porn addict. That is for him to decide. I am just saying that your perception of "evil" or "good and bad" is going to depend on your background which shapes your perspective and the living environment you have created for yourself or has been thrust upon you.
Now....dont get me wrong. I am not defending this kids actions with these girls....but honestly I have seen a lot worse than brushing fingers over clothed breasts while someone slept. I am not saying that is ok. I am just saying that compared to a lot of other examples of child molestation, it's pretty light. I dated a girl in college whose father did FAR more to her on a weekly basis than brushing his fingers over her when she slept. That girl is fucked for life as a result. So what he did was wrong, yes...but this wasn't exactly hardcore molestation, rape, etc.
BTW...statistically most people who do this as children or adolescents do not continue the behavior as adults.This kid may prove to be the exception...who knows. What I will say is that this is a textbook example of how religion can be destructive when not approached in a healthy way
Do you have any link showing that when a 14 year old molests 4 sisters, some while sleeping, some while awake, he usually outgrows this behavior without any professional counseling? I'd like to see that bit of information.
"Myth:
"Juvenile sex offenders typically are victims of child sexual abuse and grow up to be adult sex offenders."
Fact:
Multiple factors, not just sexual victimization as a child, are associated with the development of sexually offending behavior in youth.
Myth:
"Most sex offenders reoffend."
Fact:
Reconviction data suggest that this is not the case. Further, reoffense rates vary among different types of sex offenders and are related to specific characteristics of the offender and the offense."
CSOM Publications
"In fact, research has demonstrated that juveniles who commit sexual offenses are more likely to recidivate in a nonsexual rather than a sexual manner....
A relatively small percentage of juveniles who commit a sexual offense will sexually reoffend as adults. The message for policymakers is that juveniles who commit sexual offenses are not the same as adult sexual offenders, and that all juveniles who commit a sexual offense do not go on to sexually offend later in life."
Chapter 3: Recidivism of Juveniles Who Commit Sexual Offenses | Sex Offender Management Assessment and Planning Initiative
How Often Do Juvenile Sex Offenders Reoffend?
Juvenile sex offenders appear to respond better to treatment and reoffend less frequently than adult sex offenders. Sexual reoffense rates for youth over several years are estimated at approximately 10%. In addition, if juvenile sex offenders reoffend, they are far more likely to engage in other types of delinquent behavior than to commit new sex crimes.

Josh never got any professional treatment.
Josh and his wife are committed to plopping out babies every chance they get, and are planning to have as many as Gawd will allow. Even after all the public humiliation of his juvenile perversions, having to resign from his job, losing the reality show (the bread and butter for the family) Josh has recently been busted for pornography and signing up on a web site to help married people cheat on their spouse, and the dummy used his real name.
So tell me, would you let him babysit your children...your grandchildren?
