And . . .I'm out. Hitherto I have always said of them "Hey, not my way, but to each his own", but now - hell to the no. Just - no. They need to be off the air.

Apparently molestation is now a "teenage mistake" rather than a crime that deserves jail time and not a TLC show.
Not only is this whole situation disgusting, so is People for letting him air his attempt at a redemption story. A mistake is underage drinking; not molesting your sisters on multiple occasions. TLC needs to cancel this show now.
I also cannot believe how many people are defending him; it's appalling how people can justify things.

What's really gross is that Josh never received counseling and the "law enforcement" officer he spoke to was a cop who was a family friend that is now serving a 56 year jail sentence for child pornography.

Oh, there are so many gross things about it. The fact that Jim Bob and Michelle had to have known that this would come out eventually as long as they kept themselves in the public eye, but that they decided that being on TV was more important than protecting their daughters' privacy. The fact that they never did anything about it. The fact that they then went on to do those fear-mongering robocalls and work for fear-mongering politicians that compare LGBT people to child molesters when they themselves knew they had a child molester in their own family and had helped to cover it up. The fact that they're trying to play it off like a "teenage mistake." The fact that people on their Facebook page are saying nobody should judge him because "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." The fact that Anna knew about this and married him anyway (I can't decide if this is worse or better than not knowing and marrying him anyway--they're both horrible in different ways). The fact that he has a daughter/soon to be multiple daughters now! The fact that People is still giving them a platform. Literally everything about this is gross.

Out of all the rumors and speculation over the years "sin in the camp" is the one I hoped wasn't true. I already had a million and one good reasons why I hate them but this is just so disgusting.

BTW, don't read their fb fan page. Apparently this NBD because josh prayed and said sorry or some bullshit. Over 11,000 likes.

ETA: When everything blew up with Honey Boo Boo TLC was quick to react to and distance themselves. I have no faith, at all, they will respond to this in the same quick and swift manner. I hope I'm proven wrong.

I haven't watched TLC in ages primarily because of their crap programming. I agree with you 150% if they canceled Honey Boo Boo, I hope they will do the same for 19 Kids and Counting. We don't need to give predators air time.

Wait, so Michelle Duggar thinks that transgendered people are child molesters by default, but failed to protect her own children from a molester?

She's a fake Christian and a terrible mother.

I'm waiting for the Duggars to throw the daughters under the bus and say they "emitted harlot waves" or something that compelled Josh to touch them. Because they're spoiled goods now that everyone knows, y'know.

More than anything I wish this would be the wakeup call for TLC to cancel all their garbage shows and get back to being THE LEARNING CHANNEL.

While my guide still shows 19 Kids and Counting, they have finally stopped airing the episodes. I wouldn't be surprised if TLC held making a statement until after the holiday weekend.

I'm absolutely sickened by all the "holy christians" on their FB page who are bending over backwards to defend the Duggars.

Mike Huckabee stands by Josh Duggar. Why won't the bloodthirsty media just leave him alone?

This whole story makes me sick. Those poor girls.

Those children need to be taken into state custody. These parents have failed to protect their children from being molested repeatedly by a family member. Not sure about the Arkansas criminal code, but maybe a prosecutor needs to think about rape charges?

The response here is sickening. This is all about Josh getting better. How about his victims?

I'm assuming his victims have been adults for awhile.

All of his victims, except for one are adults now. The statue of limitations in AR was only
3 years for cases like this.
