 They made sure he really had no consequences. He had to apologize and he had to build a basement. Whoop de do. Then his parents allowed him to continue living with the girls he abused. For me, I find the parents' behavior even worse than Josh's. No, I do not think what Josh did is in any way ok. But those parents heaped abuse on top of abuse. They must not love their female children.
The head of a Sexual Offender Unit at a mental hospital used to try really hard to convince me how their therapy program had the ability to "change" offenders court ordered into their program as a part of their sentence. Change, maybe, but once a broken cookie, always a broken cookie IMO. Some can re-learn thought patterns or be "re-programmed" not to act on their feelings but no promises that they won't put themselves in risky situations & re-offend. They will never be a full cookie from my personal observations. I would NEVER trust them around children & they aren't good at self-monitoring.
I do believe that the Duggars & TLC had a "heads-up" on what was going to come out and had ample time to pow wow about how they were going to react to it. I seem to recall reading that Josh & Anna recently purchased a home back in ARK (in prep for their choice to leave DC?). I think Jim Bob is working overtime trying to convince TLC to continue to film Jill & Derrick, Jessa & Ben's pregnancy journey, & the other Duggar boy who recently got engaged (maybe even mini spin-off's like Bravo is doing so much of now?). TLC wants the money & their story lines but wants to see if the flack created from the public outcry makes it worthwhile for them as a network before they make a decision. Josh & Anna of course will be gone from program updates & all filming.
Finally, I was thinking how unfortunate it is for baby #4 to be a girl.
Secondly, there is no treatment for pedophilia. None."
I agree with Amin.
While there is no cure, there certainly are treatments that can be quite effective. It requires a specially trained therapist, commitment and effort on the part of the perpetrator.
"Mama June is so angry TLC has not cancelled "19 Kids and Counting" she's prepared to sue TLC, claiming the Duggar family is way worse than hers, yet they still have a show.
June tells TMZ there is no way TLC can justify keeping the Duggar family on the air yet yanking 'Honey Boo Boo.' June notes within hours of TMZ posting the pic of her cavorting with convicted child molester Mark McDaniel, TLC pulled the plug on her show.
June says she never molested anyone and McDaniel wasn't ever on her show, yet Josh Duggar is a central figure on the TLC show and admitted to molesting some of his sisters, who are also on the show. What's more, she believes Jim Bob and Michelle covered up their son's misdeeds.
With that backdrop, June says she's out hundreds of thousands of dollars because of the abrupt cancellation of her show, and if the Duggar family stays on the air, she wants to sue the network for what she believes is blatantly unfair and inconsistent treatment.
She does have a point. They did cancel her show the day after the TMZ posted the story about her and her "boyfriend".
In Touch first posted the story about Josh on May 19,(without the police report, which they posted today) and the only thing TLC has done two days later was post a link to the People article on their twitter account and run a "19 kids and counting" marathon on their network.
I think they would try this. 
I agree. Why this need to identify the victims? So we can clutch our pearls a little tighter and tsk tsk when we see pictures of them or think of them? It doesn't matter who the victims were. Please stop! Don't victimize them again.
Well, well, well...TLC. You got caught, AGAIN. TLC had better think again before they ever air another Gosselin show because we know for a fact that Kate has abused her kids and the dogs.
I feel sad for the Duggar sisters, but it proves that TLC either does not vent their freak show "talent" or they do vent and cover up. I tend to believe they cover up. Oh yes, there is no doubt they purchased incriminating photos of Kate and Steve and they trashed Jon because he would not play ball. Robert and this blog have been beating the drum for years and no one has taken it seriously. Maybe now that the premier "talent" of TLC has been outed as hypocrites, there will be some true investigation into Gosselin. She is a liar, abuser, cheat and TLC has given this bottom feeder money and protection for YEARS.
LOL, Sue Buddy. I forgot about THE BLOCK PARTY.
how can you admit to something that "allegedly" happened?
aaaand...guess what show is on TLC right now. Multiple episodes lined up for the day.
Would you be able to give us the link? Admin, will you allow this?
I agree. I think the Gosselin dam is showing cracks and can break at anytime with all the allegations of her child abuse. As the kids get older, some might speak out as we are now witnessing with the current situation. TLC should be very careful about their association with Kate because it seems that nothing stays hidden forever. There is just too much baggage with Kate. Of course this is just my opinion but I hope I’m right.
Josh is also saying he "confessed" to his parents. After he got caught, I'm sure.
And I have yet to hear the parents talk about the victims.
Anna made a statement that she knew about it two years before she married him? The timeline doesn't fit.
I agree that Kate, being the narcissist that she is, is indeed rubbing her French tipped talons together envisioning taking over the Duggar TLC time slots. She forgets: she has already been a TLC darling, thus old news; TLC is not going to put up with her prima Donna demands; and she is just one more who will implode because TLC knows her dirty secrets. I think this is the end. Jon seeking custody of Hannah proves the family is unraveling. Plus, we have looked at her association with Jeff Millionaire, and he has his own skeletons. Done, done and done.
Tfmjg is probably wondering why her family custody suit didn't make cnn. She had to make do with one paparazzi, poor thing.
On the other hand, some political websites are taking about how Josh Duggar had been photographed with Several republican presidential candidates and showing the photos. if tlc thinks this story will be forgotten over a holiday weekend, they are mistaken. Everyone who wants to bash a particular candidate will pull out any thing and every thing to do so, that includes pulling out a photo and saying "senator Cruz, rand Paul, whoever, did you know you were posing with a child molester? Do you condone the Family Research Council employing a child molester to lobby against gay marriage? what do you think of a cable network that broadcasts shows with an admitted child molester on it? "
TMZ has an article about Mama June suing TLC over canceling her show and not 19 kids. I can't think she has any sort of actual civil case but TLC may regret cutting her loose. She is or will soon be out from under her contract and most definitely will use this to keep her name out there. Plus she gives pretty good sound bites.
I think we may be seeing the unravelling if the entire TLC network. If this blows up just a little more into the mainstream I think it could bring an end to TLC.
It also makes me wonder what ELSE TLC has hidden and is hiding. I bet there's lots and lots of shredding, email deleting and film burning going on. Maybe that's why they haven't had time to take the showcase of pedophilia off the air. Touching Little Children indeed. I sure hope that sticks.
Remember, TLC canceled HBB when allegations arose and photos showed June in bed with the pedophile.
June was, and is still, denying it.
Poodle confirmed the story, but it was still he said/she said.
Now, here we have a confession (although sterile) from Josh, police reports and confirmation from the parents.

Well, the Duggars are on the national morning shows. No comment from any of them to the Today show.
They didn't get as detailed about what exactly Josh did, and WHO he did it to.
You're not the only one who thinks that. An article at the Inquisitor suggests the same thing, based on Josh's and Anna's twitter and Instagram activity. They also wonder if perhaps the Police Department notified them that they released the report.
If I were TLC, I would pull out "Trading Spaces" from the vault and rerun those episodes until I figure out how to get out of the "reality" tv business.
All due respect to Mama June and her aspirations to regain her reality TV paycheck, but does she think that if it were actually possible to sue TLC for cancellation, Katie Irene would not have been running to a courtroom in 2011? I don't think you can sue for "inconsistent treatment" unless it's on the
