Duggars in trouble

Rumor is that the Duggar's are moving to California's Antelope valley to start a new show entitled "20 If You Count Paul Chappell".

That's right. I forgot you can have a larger market share than all your other competitors combined and not be mainstream.

Huh?

Really? Did you forget already that it is FOX News against the world?  ;)

I hereby offer a sincere apology for Fox News, Rush and even Chick Fil A....I'm sorry they are so extremely successful. I'm sure they are all duly chagrined!

Lol!! You spelled cha-ching wrong!  ;)

Jim Bob's failure to properly report Josh's crime and go through the juvenile court system came back to bite them.

He walked into a local station, sat down with a police officer, his son and a witness.  The son disclosed everything to the officer.  What more is he supposed to do?

A sharpie through the first name, leaving all other pertinent information is not protecting the privacy of the victim.  Amazed, you are normally on the side of the victim.  I really don't understand why anyone would want to release this information.  Imagine, if you would, The Hammond Times releasing the address, last name and birth date of the minor with whom Jack Schaap was deeply infatuated.  We would all cry foul.  Same rule applies.

I hope TLC will cancel this show and any possible spin offs. The Duggars are nothing more than the Kardashians of the Fundy world. Their total disregard for the safety and interest of their children is disgusting.
I don't believe they had total disregard for the safety and interest of their children.  I have seen total disregard for the safety and interest of children and it looks nothing like this.  I do see total disregard by the media for the safety, privacy and healing of victims.

Yeah, because I can trust a tabloid's "experts" to also tell me about the latest alien abductions around the US.

You stated earlier that you do not care. 

Liar.
You still haven't told us why you are so supportive of a brand (i.e. the Duggars) that promotes the willful abuse of children.

I support the right of victims to remain anonymous.

I think what happened in their home is horrifying.  The sad reality is that 1 in 5 females in this country have been or are being molested.  This is typically by a family member, most normally a boy between the ages of 12-16.  Why can't we have a conversation about what to do when you discover it was your son?  Let's learn and teach and promote what to do, rather than simply finger-pointing, vilifying and condoning homosexuality.

I assume everyone has secrets, therefore my children do not go to sleep overs.

I know of a church right now that is allowing a teenage boy who wears girls underclothing go to a teen camp with younger children than he. In hopes that he finds God I guess?

Again, this is why my children do not go to theses things...........SMH

JimBob never filed a police report.  I have filed police reports before and know one is aware when doing so. The police have always provided me with a copy of the report too. JimBob was a state legislator - he knew what he was doing. Telling his cop friend (and he did know this officer) and not filing an actual report is not reporting it. The first offenses occurred in 2002.  Jim Bob should have filed a report then. Because he chose not to take action, Josh molested again in 2003. Major parent FAIL.

No report was filed until 2006, after the Oprah show reported it.

I am on the side of the victims. They have  had to wrongly carry/hide Josh's shame and been subjected to Gothard's sick teachings about sexual abuse for years. Their parents have horribly minimized their abuse (see interview), made them live under the same roof with their abuser, and made sure they did not receive appropriate counseling.  Keeping this secret was clearly not good for them. Plus, their parents chose to put their childhoods on display for years - even though they knew this abuse lurked in the background. Had they been living private lives, this damage would not have been made public.

** Had JimBob handled this correctly from the beginning, public disclosure would not have happened and the daughters would have received proper counseling instead of Gothard's sick victim-blaming.**

Josh molested children in 2002. JimBob and Michelle did not take action to protect their children from further abuse, so it happened again in 2003. This showed a disregard for their safety. The interview told us why they did not protect the girls - They did not think it was that big of deal. And how do we know Josh ever stopped molesting young children? He had been growing more bold; having started abusing above the clothing of sleeping children then eventually under the clothing of awake victims (child sitting on his lap, laundry room incident).

Look how JimBob and Michelle minimized the abuse of their young daughters:

"Again, this was not rape or anything like that. This was like touching over the clothes. There were a couple instances where he touched someone under the clothes, but for like a few seconds. "

"But they weren’t even aware. To them they probably didn’t even understand that it was an improper touch."

“It was more just like fondling, a touch while they were asleep—for most of them”

This "tabloid" has been spot on about this so far. And their attorney consultants are not the only ones saying this.
 
"My prayer is that one day churches will be the place offenders feel the least safe knowing that the church is vigilantly watching over its children and won't hesitate to report suspected abuse to the God-ordained authorities. I think Jesus requires nothing less of us." -  Boz Tchividjian

Amen.

I do find it very disappointing the Duggar's pastor failed to report this molestation too.
So many people failed these children: their parents, their pastor, the police officer "friend", etc.

Arkansas Juvenile Code 9-27-309
Records of the arrest of a juvenile, the detention of a juvenile, and the proceedings under this subchapter shall be confidential and shall not be subject to disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act of 1967

Josh was never arrested or even detained. There were no proceedings. This is why the police report was not exempt from the FOIA. Jim Bob's failure to properly report Josh's crime and go through the juvenile court system came back to bite them.

Arkansas 16-90-1104 – Nondisclosure of information about victim
(b) A law enforcement agency shall not disclose to the public information directly or indirectly
identifying the victim of a sex crime except to the extent that disclosure is of the site of thecrime, is required by law, is necessary for law enforcement purposes, or is permitted by the court for good cause.
The victims names were redacted on the report. Unfortunately, the Duggars' have made their lives very public, so it was not too hard for people to put two and two together.

The law is very clear, " A law enforcement agency shall not disclose to the public information directly or indirectly
identifying the victim of a sex crime ". Simply redacting a name does not comply if there is other information indirectly identifying the victim.  I realize that because of their parents decision to lead public a public life, you are okay with the victim's being outed, it is still a violation of the law.

Everyone is in damage control it appears and now the city attorney is running interference and apparently also feels that just removing the name fulfills the requirements....which is sad for a municipal attorney to not know the law, but our's often does not either.

Of course I am NOT okay with victims being outed. 

The reports were redacted and by law HAD to be released under the FOIA. Had JimBob done the right thing and properly reported  Josh's crimes, their family's privacy would have been protected by the juvenile court system. 

Now they are having  victims give interviews to protect Josh, which will only violate their privacy even more. Remember, there were four known sister-victims. They were not actually named before this interview.  Josh is a grown man and should be speaking for himself.

BEGIN LONG RANT...

Josh being the oldest boy, he has been exploited & abused the most. No doubt it's the same with the oldest girls.

Grooming all the kids into being child slaves. And the only OUT  for the girls... is to get married and do exactly which exploited their childhoods, caregiving. Get knocked up and have babies really fast, whether the finances are there or not. This is the only acceptable way out of this Cult. College is discouraged for the girls, the parents look down on females. Place value in them being a wife and mother only, not as a person.

Their little faces are like Jaycee Dugard,no one has a tan.  No messy hair. It's so creepy. We all saw this coming.

Riding dirt bikes, playing ball, cycling, running or just leaving the compound to hang out with friends isn't what we see on tv. All we see are these choriographed smiles, re-hearsed speeches. Unless kids are already brought in by the parents, then they don't have friends. Because they don't go to school or a church. Their church & school is their home. These kids have no outside interaction EXCEPT what is orchestrated. They have no personhood- just odd haircuts, a step-ford appearance, etc. All in line with a brand presented on TV in order to financially support their parents. The whole thing is clearly choreographed....plastered smiles and kids re-iterating values of the parents. A life so regimented it's not even a life but worse than the ARMY. With the Military, you get time off. These kids are raising kids 24/7. They cannot just leave and go where they want- their departure =consoling the parents that they deserve to live a normal life. They cannot even go to a dance. The mental abuse must be exhausting.

Small children are forced into timeouts as punishment but not for wrongdoing. For fun.
Per the police report, "ALL the kids" are spanked. A rod is used. These punishments(aka timeouts) are part of routine "training" for self control. "Self control" spouted from the the woman who cannot stop eating and humping. "Sit and be still" is their form of blanket training normal people call TIME OUTS

The police report doesn't reveal the identities of the victims. FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T EVEN READ IT, do so BEFORE replying to this post in ignorance and stupidity. Amazed has posted the link yet some converse as if they never examined it. The abuse is right there if you want to see  facts or you can shove it under the rug like the perps
The victims Identities are safe....unless of course, a few sociopathic parents harbored their sex crimes...partnered with a pedo to cover them up then used it as an opportunity to stuff their pocket books. Exploited their kids privacy using video cameras to record their day to day abuse and neglect. These twisted parents set up a commercialized way to purposefully re-victimize their own children for their own greed. Duggars knew it could get out... they set it up as such. Blaming the media who otherwise, would have no interest. We expect more from the parents.

Child slaves groomed to be child salves in a large compound, memorizing lines for filming.. the train wreck was inevitable. We all knew those were not normal kids behaving naturally. We knew they weren't Christians because the world would never accept Christians. They accepted the Duggars.

The fact Jim Bob sought out a Pedo Cop with child porn saturating his computer...and they BOTH covered up a child sex crime, this is NO ACCIDENT. JIM BOB is very dangerous. Unless people cry out for help and receive it, cycles almost always repeat themselves

The fact the victims didn't wake up(or most didn't) means Josh probably never actually fondled them. He very gently placed his hand in areas where he shouldn't. "Probably" but who knows. I suspect he may have done it in a desperate attempt for his parents attention & love. Upped the antics a little and it still failed. Or maybe Josh never touched his sisters during their slumber yet said he did. He needs parental love, desperately. You just don't know.

Josh crying out in pain, telling his sins over and over only resulted in more exploitation for himself. A pervert COP who no doubt, enjoyed hearing his tales with the sleeping sisters. Instead of loving on him and watching him 24/7, JIM BOB sent him away to be exploited again and again via manual labor at a construction site owned by another "friend". This father has some very interesting "friends" . He creates situations pulling in others which again, result in their abuse.

No one forces their own child to relay a child sex crime to a Pedo Cop then sends him away to do manual labor. These parents just won't be parents, period. Seems the only honest ones are the Duggars kids, the victims. Josh and the girls who relay their stories. And as long as they remain honest enough, they will heal I think. Be productive people.

These Duggars need to stop covering up sex crimes, harboring them, forcing their kin into the arms of a select Perverted Cop, all under the guise of a confession. All after forcing kids to raise kids... combined with their memorization of lines in order to "act on television" to supply the parents a heafty paycheck, the neglect and abuse never ends...

Age 14-just turning 15..is the worst age for boys regarding raging hormones.If Josh had been slightly older ,Id be more concerned. Lots of maturing happens between ages 15-16 for boys, their hormones tone down, generally to manageable levels.  They grow up. ALL Of the kids need professional help just due to their parents abuse and neglect. They even forced their victims to live with their so called perp, locking their bedroom door. While not getting Josh counseling either. Instead of taking care of Josh's cries, more sexual violations occurred because these socio pathic parents decided to "forgive" and provide a circumstance for it to happen again. They refused to believe their own sons plight.

The DUGGARS need to allow their kids to leave their sinister compound to visit THEIR OWN friends. Go to school like normal people. Go to church , it should not be in their home. Duggars need to hire Nannies to care for (raise) the younger ones, leave their older kids alone. Stop having babies.

Again, it is no accident JIM BOB had a pedo Cop friend he called... to help him conspire to cover up child sex crimes of his own kin. He is extremely dangerous. He makes his son Josh look like a Saint since at least JOSH is honest and wanted to get better. It never happened again they say and years passed...but you never know of course. Normal Parents take precautions, they don't quickly recite a 123 prayer then boom, proclaim he's healed. Hopefully everyone in the family will get saved. That is the one only cure.










 
Rants are therapeutic and generally do folks good.

I do not think I have ever seen a second of an episode, and know nothing about the Duggars rather than what I have seen on the FFF.  I did not even know they were Baptist, and guess they are IFB? Seems kind of hypocritical to be on the same network as Queer Eye and all other kind of dumb, exploitative shows.

The law is very clear, " A law enforcement agency shall not disclose to the public information directly or indirectly
identifying the victim of a sex crime ".

The first line of the first complete narrative (page 11) says, "The alleged victims are {Redacted}, who live with their parents Michelle and Jim Bob.  The first page of the report now discloses the address of the victims and their last name.  If there were only two daughters, it would be a slam dunk, but identification was made that two of the Duggar girls are victims along with their address. Only thing that prevented further identification was there are several girls? I don't know how many kids or gender of each.

It appears that there may have either been two people, or perhaps additional retractions of the incident report.  One person used a left to right stroke,  on short and long words and phrases, another person used vertical strokes, on short and long words and phrases. It makes me wonder if there was additional work done on the report after it was issued.  Professional redaction should be done by an agency by highlighting the words with a black highlight tool either in the RMS system, or printing the report into PDF format and using a PDF reader program to to the same.  Just looks sloppy and unprofessional to use a sharpie or pen.
