In reply to the discussion: Duggars Pitch New Reality Show Counseling Sex Abuse Victims [View all]vaberella
(24,634 posts)13. No, no, no.
That family denied there was a problem. The girls went on national television to downplay what their brother did to them, then they went on further to be angry with the media for making their family suffer. The girls had no support from anyone on counseling. There is no regard to what their brother did and how that might have affected the non-family members he violated that are still minors. I mean there is an an endless sea of no here and pure disgust and hatred on my part.
I have a problem with the boy who committed the crime, who was also a victim to his parents fear. I have issues all around and then they want to insult my intelligence by having a show like this. Abhorrent.
