Yeah, what exactly is she telling herself that makes it okay if her husband likes to sexually abuse little girls?

New articles: Kendra Duggar is staying at a 'private' residence with her children after being released from an Arkansas detention facility on March 20 She told her husband Joseph about the hideaway during a jail phone call he made to his wife on March 20 Kendra and Joseph's home was searched by...

Yes! Thank you @tlcya! I was looking for more empathy towards the victim. IMO the focus shouldn’t be only on Joseph and Kendra, good or bad. We don’t need a named victim, just an acknowledgment of the crime.

I hear you and agree that at least one Duggar relative isn’t blaming satan. However, I would have loved to read a better quote like “I’m just really, really sad that an innocent child was hurt and I pray for her healing.” They wouldn’t even need to point a finger at Joseph. KWIM? JMO

I’m disappointed that the relative used soft language to express their feelings. “Horrifying,” yes, great description. But “embarrassing” and “really, really sad?” To describe a despicable crime against a 9 year old child? Nope. Grow the heck up Duggars: stop denying your ownership in raising...

An insider with knowledge of the case exclusively told Us Weekly that Kendra’s arrest “has nothing to do with Joseph’s” and was a result of a home investigation. “After his charge, they automatically do a home study if minors live there. They came to her house,” the insider said. “Apparently...

Some of us delved into that in the Josh D thread. Wow! Blanket training? And IIRC there were instructions on “training” very young babies to not cry during nap and bed times. Puke.

From your link: Once on the phone, the affidavit states that Joseph "admitted his actions," saying "he touched the victim over her clothing." Joseph also "admitted his intentions were not pure," according to the affidavit. ——- Didn’t Josh also claim he touched his victims over their clothes...

I *do* blame the parents and the religion insofar as they chose to join a religion that purposely teaches that girls/women are responsible for making sure they don’t provoke men by, well, simply being female. And if a male assaults them the first step is to discern what exactly they did to cause...

It makes me wonder what went on in that house for so many years that we’ll never know about. Such a small step from control to abuse. JMO
