While I think you have a valid point that effort needs to go into changing statutes on these crimes, I completely disagree that no effort needs to go into stopping that horror of a show. It totally exploits those girls, and reinforces to a lot of gullible people that their crazy behavior is normal. There are future victims and predators watching that show, I'm sure. Great that we're in agreement, because I didn't say that the show shouldn't be stopped. Of course it should. Then I misunderstood. Mea culpa.

SMDH This family is beyond disgusting. Who the hell would ever look at this family as role models? All those past and pea threads were full of people defending THIS? I am horrified that he was dry humping her in front of his child, her date, and cameras. He is a very sick person

I just watched that video clip. I won't get those 30 seconds back, AND I need to go take another shower. Blech!

Obviously the Duggars can chose to live how they wish. I just think it's time for their lifestyle to stop being flaunted on TV. Whether you support Josh and the family or not the damage to their reputation is done. The molestation(s) will forever be linked to the family. In light of everything I know about this family it is impossible to feel sorry for them. You reap what you sow.

Just got my first response back from a sponsor (Pizza Hut). Expected a form letter, but not sure anyone actually read it. I have visions of software scanning for the key word 'advertisement' and then just kicking back an automated reply, while the actual mail goes into the digital version of the circular file. Grr.
I will now put that thought out of my mind, hope that a person somewhere does actually read their consumer feedback and continue slogging through the sponsor lists. Ugh.

FYI to those wanting TLC to cancel the show- I read something recently stating that when Honey Boo-boo was cancelled, it took a month or so to go from "not on the air" to "totally cancelled, no more contract". I assume that means it took TLC a bit to make sure they were doing everything legally, according to written contracts, etc. before they officially announced that the show was cancelled. I'm guessing it's the same thing here with 19KaC.

I'm guessing it's the same thing here with 19KaC. That's good to hear. Everything I read over the weekend said that they are leaning towards continuing, just without Josh. The ones that talked about honeybooboo said that it was cancelled almost immediately. I have no idea how true that is-I never paid any attention to the honeybooboo craze.

Just thinking what a good outcome for this would be. I know there can't be legal justice. Josh has a wife and four kids he needs to feed. What would we like to see happen to Josh now? Jen A good outcome would be that he is made to pay for his crimes. Anna hitched her cart to his wagon fully knowing who and what he is, any financial struggles she may have because of that are her problem. I, however, doubt that either Josh or Anna will have any trouble with finances because of this, her family and his family will step up to help as needed. If the Duggar family doesn't have the money to do that, that is fully on them, they have had a TV show for 9years? now, a show that has been very successful they should have a nice savings at this point. It is not on my conscience or anyone elses if they struggle because of HIS actions.

ugh. That video clip is the most disgusting thing I've ever seen on a TV show geared for family viewing. Why in the hell would anyone, let alone his young daughter and her date (to say nothing of millions of TV viewers), want to witness him dry-humping his wife in public?
And for people teaching their children modesty and Godliness ... There is something very, very wrong with these people.
I am sick about what they've done to those girls.

I've said for years that Jim Bob and Josh are creepy, and in particular I suspected they were pedophiles/sexual abusers. Well, I was right about Josh. And I bet, if we knew everything, we'd find out that Josh isn't the first offender in this family.
The whole family is so effed up in so many ways.

Oh it's not just him doing it with his wife, while he's ya know he's taunting the daughter and her date. Who taunts people like that? What a creepy thing to do!

I understand Behr Paints backed out as well. I can't see how TLC can continue the show with the big sponsors leaving - General Mills, Walgreens, Payless, etc. I think in the next few days the rest will follow suit.

I wonder if this will affect any of the children from being able to adopt? I know Jessa wants to adopt and it would suck that it could stop that from happening.
Anyone know the laws regarding this?

I didn't read the entire 24-page thread here, so I might be repeating the question:
When it become known that the 'dad' in 7th Heaven was a child molester (he confessed it however, so no question about it) every channel immediatly stopped airing episodes of 7th Heaven. Even here in Norway. No tv-channel wanted to be associated with a show with a known and admitted child molester in it. Do you think something like this could happen to 19 Kids and counting? That all the reruns and everything gets pulled? Or would Josh have to be convicted first you think?

good point, lorieann 13, but I personally am really trying to step away from the drama. This family seriously needs therapy. TLC is hopefully dropping them altogether.

I have a feeling there won't be any reruns aired ever. It is just too much of a ticking time bomb.

The day the news broke TLC was airing an all day Duggar marathon. After that they pulled all episodes for the time being, so even if it says on the guide that 19 Kids and Counting is supposed to be on air it has been replaced with a different show.

I have been waiting for this family to implode for a long long time. Didn't think this was the direction it would go and am sad about that. I really expected more like a gay son or a teen pregnancy.
At least Michelle finally stopped procreating.

With that many children, there probably will be a gay or lesbian child.

Not for lack of trying. She and Jim Bob still talk about how hard they are trying to "catch a baby."
