That kind of thinking is what keeps molesters and pervs on the streets, causing harm.

All the more reason to keep things "in house," imo.
Sorry, but I'm not relying on some - most likely, militantly Left Wing - petty bureaucrat on a power trip to make decisions for my family. I'm especially not doing so if I'm someone like the Duggar family, who knows damn well that such individuals have a vested interest in trying squash people with views like my own under heel.
No kidding. My family went through a really complicated battle with our SS that ended legally in our favor.
When they get involved...they get involved
:roll:
Well, if government wants to intrude, then they are going to have to appeal to the "might makes right" principle, because I'm sure as sh*t not inviting them in.
My family, my business. End of story. I don't care what the law has to say about, because I frankly don't really care all that much about secular law.
My husband knew a guy once, was strict on his daughters. One of the daughters got into a fight and came home with a black eye. She got into an argument with her father that night, and the next day at school, she told them that her father did it. Social Services took them away over allegations of abuse, and it took him years to get them back. Even after the girls were put in foster care, and the daughter admitted that she lied, he still didn't get them back.
Man you don't screw around with Social Services. :lol:
If he had been 10 or 11, your belief that people are taking this too seriously may be valid because at that point his actions would have likely been based in curiosity and boundary issues that could have been addressed.Again, 14 isn't that far removed from being a "child" one's self.

I can relate to the hesitancy and the really negative reaction toward social services (on our case *they* we're breaking the law), but I also intimately know situations in which social services should have been involved-and that involved sibling abuse swept under the rug by parents wanting to keep the happy family mirage alive in their heads and in the community.
It doesn't often go away Gath. Residual effects can last decades and decades later. Trust me.
Parents who take that attitude usually end up without custody of their children.Well, if government wants to intrude, then they are going to have to appeal to the "might makes right" principle, because I'm sure as sh*t not inviting them in.

What part of "you don't get to make that choice" do you not understand??

Again, as such, I would only turn to them as a last resort.

However, at 14, his actions are obviously sexual in nature. Touching a 4 or 5 year old for sexual gratification at 14 years old is a problem - something is wrong. It may not be as ****ed up as a 40 year old abusing a child, but it's still ****ed up and, if you are a parent, you don't brush it off the way you are now. Your comments are extremely dismissive and immature.
Sure you do. You just don't get them involved if there's no need for it. :lol:
The simple fact of the matter is that SS usually does more harm than good. Anyone who voluntarily involves them in their lives, when they know that the situation isn't that serious to begin with, is an idiot.
To be fair, coming up in a religious conservative homeschooling family, my opinion of them is probably more negative than most. We were harassed pretty frequently simply for not being in the public school system.
Suffice to say, SS is sometimes needed. However, like all bureaucracies, it has a need to justify its own existence, and a tendency to want to overreach with regard to its use of authority.
Again, as such, I would only turn to them as a last resort.
Are you stupid or something? I mean seriously?
Well, again. That's simply not your call to make. :shrug:
Frankly, your eagerness to brand the man as a pedophile in spite of your lack of any qualification to do so is what is "immature" here.
Last resort, after all that additional molesting...
My parents had 7 kids, yet they still signed up to take in 2 foster kids, brothers who were pretty messed up and abused by their father and their older brother was KIA in Vietnam. We had them for a year when they were in high school, the system worked, they got to live in a normal loving family for a while, and be away from their father.
Frankly, your myopia at defending this guy and saying there is nothing wrong, is just plain creepy.
I don't believe in "social services," nor do I necessarily recognize their authority. I don't have to do jack sh*t.
I'll involve the government if I feel there is a need for them, not before.
Josh Duggar? Do you have a source for that?
I'm pretty sure that would've made a far bigger stink than this.
After he returned home from his program, Jim Bob did take his son to Arkansas State Trooper Jim Hutchens, a family friend.
Hutchens had a stern talk with Josh, but did not take any official action.
He is now serving 60 years in prison after he being caught with child pornography shortly after being released from prison on a previous child pornography charge.
Doesn't it say that in the article from the OP?
I read that to mean that Duggar is doing 60 years.
Well, I guess I was wrong and it's the cop that got busted twice. Great. These people are just surrounded by ick.
Of which there appears to have been none. :roll:
Ummm... That's nice? :shrug:
Are you?
Sorry, but I don't worship at the feet of our federal overlords. Deal with it. :shrug:
Yup. When in doubt, resort to emotional ad hominem attacks.
How's that been working out for your so far, skippy? :roll:
