This past week the media has spearheaded a feeding frenzy against the family of TLC's "19 Kids and Counting". Oldest of the Duggars kids, 27 year old Josh Duggar, confessed to mistake he made as a fifteen year old boy, taking his medicine like a man and yet the world seems to rejoice in his pain and families distress.
They did the right thing. Before people judge, they should know the whole story. Families in the world could only hope to live by the values and Godliness of the Duggars. The devil comes to kill, steal and destroy. It seems people that thrive on chaos, turmoil and destruction couldn't wait to piggyback on a twelve year old discretion of a fifteen year old boy (And note: there was no penetration or molestation, he felt a girls' breasts. not to minimize. but then he confessed to parents, the authorities, went for intensive counseling and then made amends to everyone involved) He's not a rapist, a predator or even degenerate. Any among us that hasn't made a mistake when we were young, please step up! And lets talk about the reporter. How did he get his hands on a sealed record that the judge by the way, immediately expunged as soon as he heard the story. We keep our juvenile records in this country sealed for a reason. The laws of the land understand that children do not have the ability to predict appropriate consequences of their actions. That is why our justice system does not hold children accountable to the same standards as adults. Why doesn't this reporter get stripped of his credentials? Its sad when opportunists thrive to tear down a family that has done nothing but go on mission trips all over the world (self funded by the way), give not just money but time and love to charities, set an awesome example of living by and raising their children with Gods principles and staying remarkably organized under conditions that would break the average family. And yet this family continues to love and thrive. Relishing in others misery is a sure way of never having true happiness in your own life. Look in the mirror, people.
