Josh Duggar Responds to Child Molestation Allegations

[Pio1980]

Interesting how this happened to a kid raised in social isolation inside a hermetically sealed ideological bell jar. Who can they blame? Themselves?

But, all that said, I believe in the possibility of redemption and if Duggar's remorse, contrition and his efforts at making amends were genuine and if he's now trying to lead the best life he can, I don't see any reason to drag all this up again. Apart from anything else, it will likely dredge up painful memories and open old wounds for his victims.

I would agree on the redemption part..........If the politicians standing by his side truly believed in it.

This is all just a political stunt. If Josh Duggan wasn't part of the holy roller republican club, they would have no love or forgivness to show for him.

I'm not buying it.

Here is a Facebook statement from one seriously mentally ill person. The comments are not surprising at all.

I have comments on that page and Ted Cruz FB page as well.

I truly have come to despise these people. If it was ANYONE outside the "Religious Right" fold, they would be excoriated, ridiculed and hated. But, Josh is a "Christian", so were all supposed to feel sorry .................FOR HIM.

Now, do you see why I cannot stand these people?

I'm fine with religious persons having political representation and free practice that doesn't adversely affect others, but totally disinterested in being compelled to practice anyone else's religion under color of law as an interpretation of selective religious liberty.

Sweet, d-ray.

Saw his smiling face on People, what a miserable excuse for human being. Now the whole USA knows that his sister(s) and other girls were his victims and will relive the horror while this piece of trash is happy because he thinks God has forgiven him.

Sick, sick puppy.

Ever worked clinically with an adult male who acted out in this way as a kid? All childhood offenders, do not end up as repeat adult offenders. Most childhood offenders are not repeat adult offenders. At our agency the demographic data collected on these kind of cases indicated that the highest incidence of childhood sibling incestuous activity occurred in large poor white and poor minority families with low education levels. It's an equal opportunity issue. I don't know and you don't know how much of this was childhood sexual experimentation (which goes on everywhere, all the time in liberal democrat families no less than pious christian ones), and how much was coerced or forced. Most cases we reported that were investigated by DCFS were identified as non-coerced childhood sexual experimentation between siblings, much of it same sex activity, and that there were no "offenders" at all. These cases were "not founded" and no action was taken other than to encourage the parents to openly discuss it and intervene with any children who were participating.

If the Duggar case included coercion and threats to "victims" then it did. What I'm not hearing is that there's any evidence that this guy has offended as an adult.

Coerced or not, what I don't like is playing fucking politics with the issue of sibling incest. It's what's going on here and on lots of other "liberal" based forums. It's as low as it gets.The incidence is no less frequent in "liberal" families and I guarantee that any attempt by either side to take the higher political ground on this subject will come back and bite those playing politics with it squarely on the ass.
