Disapointment in the Duggars

Very disappointed to read yesterday on the excellent blog "everyday victim blaming" about the news of the Christian family, the Duggars, and the admission, and apologies of the eldest son for abusing five girls when he was 15,the blog said that the family had known for a year,and instead of protecting the victims had protected the Criminal, leaving him with time to Offend again...The Victims have a right to anonymity,but as the only Adults Jim and Michelle are directly responsible for those extra crimes, what makes it even more heartbreaking is that this is a small community and the victims would have been very well known to the Parents,or even closer... I have been in a similar situation, forgiveness was expected and close association with the criminal, who was protected from any consequences.I was an adult woman, and with the Lords help, He has brought me through, to forgiveness.BUT I HAVE NO DESIRE to be anywhere near Howard, the perpetrator,which is a natural reaction, and instinct, but these young girls will have to have been in daily contact with the criminal, and I know guilt and shame was put on me for refusing any contact, those girls have lived in a new kind of Hell, please Lord help them.
