I was raised Christian and conservative and homeschooled and my wife and I caught one of my brothers molesting one of my daughters. We reported it immediately to authorities and my family cut us off. The case has still yet to go to trial. It’s been 4 years. But I have no regrets. I would’ve done it again even if I had known what would’ve happened. We must speak out and we must protect our children, no matter the cost.
There is a definite arrogance in the fundie community believing they are immune from such things or can cure everything with prayer. Josh always had a creepiness that the other brothers didn’t. His children will now suffer greatly. It’s interesting that the Duggar girls who have married (even other fundamentalists) are probably more protected than women that marry into the family.
I’m honestly more interested in the psychology behind Anna, his wife, and why she is unable to bring herself to leave him even though he is a danger to not only children but their own.
It’s because she has had it drummed into her that she gets married has children as many as God wants you to have and it’s her failings that has caused Josh to do these things. She has had no life skills outside of family. Has t worked so no means of bringing money into the house. It’s really sad!!
It seems like women are raised to be completely submissive to men. Also, it seems like they are taught their only purpose is to be a wife and reproduce.
Have you seen what the sketchier reports have said about her beliefs surrounding the arrest? It’s being said she truly believes this was a “political attack” and had Trump been president it wouldn’t have occurred. Normally I think reports from trash media are BS but seriously think this time they may be right...
I think part of it is religion, but part is fear. The Duggars financially support her. If she leaves, she's on her own with seven kids, no education and no work experience. Her parents are poor and live in a single-wide trailer. She probably feels staying put is her only option.
The problem is that his parents didn't care that their little girls were being assaulted. If they did there would have been no conflict at all about turning him into the police.
I wouldn't doubt Jim Bob is the one who taught Josh it was ok to do that to his sisters. By words and by his actions. I have a feeling there is more of the same from the rest of the siblings.
I always felt bad for the older Duggar kids, especially the girls, because it wasn’t their decision to keep adding to the family yet they were the ones saddled with caring for all the kids.
I too always thought this. Those older girls didn’t ask to be parents, yet the babies at some point were always assigned to them for care so the mom could have another. It was abusive and gross.
I'm appalled how raising your daughters to be happily available to their future husbands is not a crime. The girls are set up to be potentially abused in the future and can only hope (sorry...pray) to get a husband that will not take advantage of the situation. Specially because a lot of those marriages seems to be arranged, and the men know their wives should be happily available. And being homeschooled doesn't give them much of an opportunity to see that things can be different. The parents get the freedom to take the freedom of the kids it seems.
I agree. I'm a Christian, and always felt like these parents were ridiculous. Their children were suffering because of their selfish behavior. The mom was a baby factory, and the kids surrogate parents. Something negative was inevitable.
And the best part is that some folks pay good money every month to watch these toobers make coffee in their converted school bus. Oh well. But that was indeed a great comment.
The parents cared more for their own reputations (and money making opportunities) and their precious son than they did about their own daughters who were victimized.
Exactly. They knew their meal ticket was toast once this got out. THey did nothing to right any of it for their children, whom they claim to think are so precious that they must keep bringing them into the world. Actions speak louder than words.
@B McCabe *I was just wondering if he had. I'm thinking it's a very high possibility. Also, I wonder if his wife has left her kids alone with him also an extremely high possibility that she has. **_VERY_** disgusting, all the way around! There's a special place in hell for people who **_RUIN_** innocent children's lives by violating them in this way!*
I was molested by my step dad from the ages of 7-12 and he was never held accountable and has recommitted his crimes over the past 50 years with no repercussions whatsoever and I just don’t understand why these men are rarely brought to justice, they just keep getting away with it.
Find a way to give the mother of his kids a heads up, either anonymous note in someone else's handwriting mailed far from where you live or a straight up, just letting you know, sent to her via a greeting card as it's likely not to be intercepted. It's worth trying to protect the kids. Or, you could contact CPS. Chances are really high he offended after you.
I have seen adults cringe when the subject of sexual abuse comes up. These are mostly social workers who knew both the client and criminal. The subject was too difficult for them to discuss. I was really shocked. So shocked.
The girls all wanting a single room in the house makes sense. They thought there would be safety in numbers to protect them from Josh. Clearly there was no one else there to protect them
I saw an interview (clip) of the parents in either their bedroom or the girls (couldn’t tell) and it had a lock high up on the inside! So much that was blatantly obvious that so many viewers missed, myself included!
After Josh told his father he was molesting the sisters, the parents decided the way to stop this was to have all the girls sleep in one room, in their clothes, and they locked them in. That's when he molested the babysitter.
My thoughts exactly. I work at a domestic violence and sexual assault agency and any inappropriate touch/ rape is sick and needs repercussions. Those chains the victim feels is a life sentence. I don’t trust my child with ANYONE, it’s sad but true…
If I had a son who did it to his sisters, I wouldn’t turn him in but would severely punish him and then have him go through therapy or treatment. I also would have to contruct a small house/unit for him in the backyard as I wouldn’t trust him to be sleeping under the same roof with his sisters.
She'll watch him up to a point. I have no doubt if he ordered her to leave him alone with one if them she would. Bad choice, judge. There are people who work at CPS who do just that. They supervise visits. Why didn't the judge appoint a professional to supervise?
And she is blind to it. She's completely in denial. She thinks he's innocent; she's believing every word Josh tells her. I always found it so creepy how she physically hangs off him all the time. It's just weird. And she looks at him like he's God. It creeps me out. There is SO much dysfunction in that family due to the religious cult they're in. Sigh.
The Duggar’s have one daughter who married, but she and her husband chose to not join the Duggar’s church, although they are Christians. Because of this, the daughter and her husband have been shunned by the family.... one of the cardinal signs of a cult.
The daughters of the family have received the message loud and clear. Our son is more important than you, our reputation is more important than your, our bottom line is more important than you. Those parents are nauseating in multiple ways.
I grew up in the church that tried to "rehabilitate" Duggar through prayer and physical labor. I left when I was in my teens, long before this. The church declared Josh cured as he managed not to reoffend during his stay. He was housed with adult men and not given access to anything other than a Bible and his "character workbook." All his waking hours were spent in physical labor or prayer. How much trouble could he get into in that environment? Plus, the church and "addictions ministry" are run by a pastor who claims to have a PhD, but doesn't. What he has is a Messiah Complex. Think Jim Jones with less drugs.
@@judyarvy3702 and it’s not to say that it can’t work, prayer absolutely works but a person must exercise their God-given free will to turn away from evil. It’s a shame...he’s sick.
Considering his mug shot smirk he thinks he will get away with this again. Repeat offenders are the most dangerous. I hope they put him away. Cannot believe that Judge let him back around his kids!
@@ritahall2378 Humour is an important tool of healthy human coping behaviour. What is truly serious is you trying to shame people for approaching difficult subjects- sometimes ones which can be particularly triggering due to personal trauma- in a manner which allows them to diffuse stress and maintain mental health.
@@janewright315 There’s no place in my mind for humor when a child is being violated , raped , and robbed of who they were as a human being before this crime against nature happened to them . It is a lifetime of healing for victims. Something is wrong with you
Over 200 images of children from the ages of 18 months to 12 years old and in the top 5 worst the agent has ever seen...🤢 Can't even imagine how those who have to investigate these images must feel and the psychological impact it must have on them. I do not want that job ever, no amount of money can convince me to do it. Loads of respect and sympathy to those who have to do this job. Josh's wife creeps me out too, I get she is conditioned to stand by her man but heck when is enough, enough?
@Citrus Couldn't pay me to sift through that shit. I'd either throw up or end up with a violent disposition toward humans. I have to imagine the videos are worse than photos. The fact that people access the dark web for this shit specifically, should increase the punishment they get.
Apparently one of the videos Josh had in his possession is very infamously terrible, so bad that its name is known among Internet culture outside the predator underground. I won't repeat its name here. But if he was getting off to THAT without any remorse, that tells you in seconds that he has absolutely no love in his heart for anyone. None whatsoever.
I remember reading a new paper article of cops that were caught when investigating other people. I guess investigating that stuff can also warp someone.
Some of those vids were from Peter Scully’s, an Australian con artist and pedophile who made child porn with violence in the Philippines. In one instance, he videoed and strangled to death an 11 yo girl. His youngest victim was 5 yo.
One of his first mistakes was describing his family as "the epitome of Christian values." None of us should hold ourself up to that kind of standard, because that's just not true.
As a Christian, I don’t believe we should put other people on pedestals. We should only model ourselves after Christ, because people are imperfect and will always let you down
I was molested by my stepfather my entire childhood. I don't think sexual offenders will ever stop. They are literally built different or something. IDK...it's horrible
I don think so at all. I think most people if faced with a similar issue would feel ashamed and would not know what to do. It’s easy as an outsider to say “oh they should have done this or that” but it’s not your son is it? Had the Duggars made a bigger deal of the situation their daughters could have been publicly humiliated and may have even been made to testify against their own brother in court. That’s pretty traumatizing as well for really young girls so I can understand why they chose to remove Josh from the home on their own, sending him away to wherever they sent him, and giving him his own room etc... If JB and Michelle really didn’t care they would have told no one but they did seek help from their Church and even another officer. I don’t think they did everything right but it’s more-so due to their ignorance then any malicious intent. They are human after all.
As a survivor of csa by my biological father, I love to see abusers go to jail. As they should. As they only see there victims as tools for there own sexual gratification. With disregard to them as a person. In a way, its almost not even personal. As victims are often picked out of accses. I hope the cycle of abuse can be stoped in that family. I wish the survivors out there all the best. The statutes for sexual crimes regarding children, should not have a run out. In my country, the statute is life long. As, research has shown, it can take decades for survivors to come to grip with the abuse, and be mentaly healthy enought to come forward. I came forward when I was 5, and still CPS and the police had trouble trying to prosses my case. The justice system is set up to deal with offendrs, not victims. One of the reasons justice is so hard to fight for. I'm now 36. And still with concreate evidence, trying to get justice. For myself, and other victims.
Lock him up!! Josh needs to be removed from the possibility of harming children for the rest of his life. The odds of cure is small and not worth the threat to another child!
That whole family is a mess. They allowed him to get away with m0lesting girls (including his sisters) almost 20 years ago! This isn’t a shock. I just feel bad for his children and victims. The “program” he was sent to was just a family friend... he was never punished and that’s why he kept doing more until he got caught. He deserves a long prison sentence and never to be around any children ever again.
@Jacqueline since his victim range seems to be prepubescent children, girls under 12, I have a hard time believing none of the children he’s had continued access to - including his own - have been affected.
What do you think he'd have been doing in a proper criminal justice program? He wouldn't have done any hard labor but what else do you suppose would have been better in the justice system? Explain?
Wait, wait, hold on here--I've had to rewind this a few times--so James Hutchins, an Arkansas State Trooper, a man Josh was counseled by, went to prison too for child pornography? Wait, What?! My brain can't take all this in at one time. Geez...can this get more weirder/infuriating? What the h***?
I have a solution. Since there is no treatment and these perverts will keep re-offending, brand the word “Pedophile” into their foreheads. That way we can immediately know who, and what, they are. If they are offended by this . . . too bad. We have to protect our children.
We have the offenders list so we know when they are in our neighborhood. Most countries don't have that. We do need longer sentences without probation, and continued, life long restitution to victims after the perv is released .
These are things that can happen when someone grows up in a bubble and taught sex is a shameful sin while also taught that women are put here for men's use.
Honestly, I don’t think this upbringing causes pedophilia. From what I’ve read, many believe to be an inborn trait like heterosexuality, which is why it’s so difficult to treat. If a pedophile’s brain is hardwired to be sexually attracted to children, no treatment can change that attraction, any more than a heterosexual’s attraction for the opposite sex can be changed.
Thank you for this analysis! I’d love an analysis of Jim Bob and Michelle (how they fell into a cult, how horribly they raised their kids, etc). One of the kids, Jill, isn’t allowed around her siblings unsupervised because she developed a mind of her own. Which the parents seem to think is worse than Josh’s behavior.
You're just not telling the truth. Jill actually IS allowed around her siblings and family. She actually said they mainly stayed away because of the COVID problem and some "disagreements" with her parents. And this is just awful, you know, because young people NEVER disagree with their parents. Right. Jill and her husband regularly go to family functions and she said they are "healing" from all the things that happened with Josh. You and countless other people talk like the Duggars are the only family to EVER have troubled and criminal family members. You don't know any of them personally. I know the Duggars personally and have for not quite 40 years. They are fine people that have raised some of the most humble and upstanding people I've ever known. Every family has disagreements between each other and the Duggars always work out anything that could potentially become a problem. I've watched over the years as their kids have grown up and their kids are a joy to be around. I live right down the road from them and they have also been very good neighbors. You say they are so horrible, yet you know nothing about them other than the terrible trash talk you've read in the press and in tabloid articles. It has been painful to watch my good friends be slandered and bashed by so many people. Stop spreading such toxic information that just isn't true.
Rebecca, I would love to see an analysis on Jim Bob as well since it was his decision to get the family involved with a cult. Those poor girls are trapped with no way to educate themselves outside of the fundamentalists teachings. It’s sad. Jill was lucky enough to marry an educated man who had a strong, independent mom. He will be a licensed lawyer soon and I hope the best for their family as they heal.
@@CivilEngineerWroxton I don’t agree with family vloggers at all. They are literally pimping out their children to make money. If you put yourself and your life out there in the public domain, you are going to be critiqued. It is the right of the viewer as they are the consumer. The vloggers are selling themselves as a product.
@@CivilEngineerWroxton Ah, yes, a family friend and neighbour. In other words, precisely the person who vehemently upholds the public reputations of sexual abusers and those who cover their crimes. After all, as we all know, the neighbours would know if the girls were truly sexually abused. And ol’ Al Scarborough who lives down the road says they’ve always been great neighbours! Well, pardon us all, case closed, then! After all, he’s met the family and he likes them. Sexual abusers definitely never have friends, never hide things from everyone besides their victims, never use their public reputations and the testimony of friendly neighbours as a weapon against their victim’s claims. Nope. Nothing but an upstanding good old Christian godfearing man to see here, valiantly doing his part to launder abusers’ reputations on the internet. Nothing to see here. Nothing at all.
I read somewhere that the Duggar girls were not allowed to shower in privacy because they might "touch themselves". They always had to have a sibling in the bathroom with them. This is just sick! The parents had a preoccupation with sexualizing their children, specifically the girls. There are some deep, dark, disturbing things going on with Jim Bob & Michelle.
Statute of limitations angers me more and more each day 😡 Our system is so crappy at protecting victims and the culture of victim blaming makes it’s so difficult for people to bring offenses forward that three year statute is complete bullish!t
This happens a lot in some cultures - they won't report the son's misbehaviour because sons are important. There was a 9 year old boy in India who killed 3 of his infant female relatives and the parents didn't report it because they were only girls and he is a precious boy. It only got discovered because he killed a neighbour's baby and they spoke out.
I am disgusted by these parents, JimBob and Michelle. Nothing they did was "Christian". Hypocrisy thy name is Duggar. As always, I thank you so much for this video, Dr. Grande.
As a victim from my birth parents and in foster care, I can say that it messes with ones head for the rest of their lives. And my foster family supported their own kids over reporting the problems. In fact, they were also part of the problem. Josh just makes me sick. I hope they throw his full sentence at him.
I remember watching "The Operation" on TLC years ago....it was brilliant!! No BS talking, just a little H&P with the patient, the surgery and a follow up...all in 30 minutes. I don't have testicles but the vasectomy reversal still haunts me!!
It sounds like the crimes he committed when he was a young teenager may have been more serious than what we were lead to believe. Given he was still quite young himself and experiencing lots of changes in hormones', I can imagine that a lot of parents in that scenario might want to believe he was just confused rather than immediately shipping him off to jail. However, hearing now that a baby sitter was also a victim, that does changes things. At the time, they made it sound like it was just "inappropriate" touching but I'm suspicious that perhaps it was a lot more than that.
I would be super interested in hearing what Dr. Grande thinks of family vlogging. Specifically what long term effects might be for kids who's parents vlog their every move.
This was tough to get through. Thank you for putting the victims first. Sibling sexual abuse is more prevalent in our society than people realize. It needs to be talked about more. We need to teach children about sex better and earlier, and we need not to punish and blame victims.
People are always always warning children about “stranger danger” yet sadly the largest percentage of predators are someone known to the child. It’s very important to teach children about their right to bodily autonomy regardless of who they are with. This is why I will never force my child to hug or kiss someone, even a family member (you can still teach them to be polite while maintaining appropriate boundaries). By doing this a child learns that it is okay to say NO to physical contact or an activity if it makes them feel uncomfortable, even when it’s an adult or someone in authority. Keeping non judgemental open dialogue and communication is also important as it helps to foster a loving nurturing relationship as well as hopefully making them less vulnerable to seeking attention elsewhere. Unfortunately predators are very good at identifying children who are needy or isolated and will often exploit a child’s natural desire for attention and love for nefarious intentions.
@@D-me-dream-smp yes, thank you for your comment 💜 we can teach consent to children this way. And wouldn’t it be nice if there were fewer children so vulnerable to predation because of lack of knowledge, understanding, and their own acceptable boundaries?
@@D-me-dream-smp yes!! Stranger danger was actually one of the worst things at least my generation was taught. 80’s 90’s. It taught us to fear strangers. Yeah so if you’re being molested by someone close or a stranger, you’ll never tell anyone. Because strangers are all bad. And I’m disgusted because I still hear about it from my youngest who’s 9! He learns it from school apparently.
It's progressive, with out treatment and even if they have treatment it's extremely difficult to stop. Usually no contact with children is the only way to avoid a repeat!!!!!
So jim Bob is told by his daughter that her older brother (jb and Michelle's oldest son) has been "inappropriate" with 4 of his daughters, (btw, one of those 4 daughters was under the age of 4 at the time.... "😢" ... jb didnt believe it but finally jd was confronted and instead of getting him psychiatric treatment and calling the authorities, jb sent golden boy to "camp" and turns out, began referring to the daughter that told, as the family tattletale....
I was raised in a family only slightly less strict and baby crazy than the Duggars. My 2 daughters were molested by a family member I saw at the pulpit every weekend - starting when they were 3 & 4 and continuing for several years. My dauģhters didn't tell me until they were in their late twenties because they knew I would seriously go after him. The stricter the religion, the more pedophilia abounds - a sad fact.
Yes, all the major religions have a paedophilia problem. Many of them are now saying it's all a conspiracy concocted by the left. These degenerates make me want to puke.
When people trade raising a family for running a baby factory, bad things happen. I'm a Christian, and was disgusted by these selfish parents forcing their older kids to take care of their younger kids. When you've got 2 or 3 kids, asking your older kids to help out is reasonable. However, when you have 19 kids, and intend to keep going, it's abusive. Absolutely ridiculous.
I inhaled my coffee and almost drowned in it when you said the Trooper was convicted of CP. I was already disgusted that he just gave a "stern talking to", and wasn't expecting him to be guilty of it himself. Edit: typo
Did I hear that right, Hutchins the cop, a close family friend who gave him a stern lecture got 56 years for CP? That sure makes you wonder what they really talked about or if this older cop helped him get CP.
That's right. How can the family reporting to Hutchins count in the statute of limitations? A former cop in prison for child porn, what could be a shittier situation?
@@susancheer5981 why do you assume the parents knew about this cop? And the cop isn't the one who provides the councelling. He's just the one who spoke to him . But it's very possible that this cop encouraged or justified Josh's sickness.
There should be no statute of limitations for child molestation! Especially when you consider how difficult it is for victims to come forward and confront their abuser. The path for victims to report on abuse should be made as smooth as possible. I'm shocked that an obstacle in the form of this 3 year statute of limitations exists.
I have seen 5 year statute get in the way of prosecution in state of KS. It was the date of act until reported. Very young child told parents for first time 5 years later and they could not determine exact date of crime 5 years earlier so nothing at all was done. However young child was taken in room and taped by law enforcement while questioned. That tape locked and sealed. Parent were never allowed to see tape or know details just in case offender ever went to trial on another unrelated charge. Not sure if law/statute still same. Know another case where kids were abducted for 5 years by noncustodial parent also in state of KS. Kids were found because their faces appeared on milk carton. Noncustodial parent did not go to jail and was able to have the kids unsupervised as if nothing had happened. While custodial parent did not have kids for 5 years (2/3 when abducted and 7/8 when found). The kids were lied to and told custodial parent had died, did not want them, etc. Those kids were robbed of their childhood as well as custodial parent as bond was never the same. Millions of devastating stories that will never find their way to justice. Heart breaking and gut-wrenching.
I would bet that it's due to nonchurch therapy. Seeing a therapist on the outside also gives her a chance to see a whole picture with a new perspective. With this new view, she can understand what is okay and what is not, with that she can set boundaries to protect herself.
Is there research on identifying common factors in a perpetrators childhood that contribute to their developing pedophilia? Is it learned behavior, genetics or both? Great analysis Dr. Grande - keep them coming!
@@mikikiki She didn’t say it was genetics. She posed the question then threw up the factors that are most often discussed when it comes to behaviors. Calm down ffs. No ones defending it or disputing its evil & disgusting. The question was on identifying commonalities.
I did some research on this subject because I was molested by a few different men as a child and wanted to understand why this happens. While environment can play a role in someone developing pedophilia tendencies, they have found that these types of people have "crossed wires" in their brains. To put it simply, when one of these people looks at a child, instead of sending signals to the part of the brain that controls paternal/maternal feelings, it instead sends signals to the part of the brain that's responsible for sexuality. Most of them have no control over it and many of them understand that there's something wrong with them and never go on to act on these feelings. Another odd finding is that people who are left-handed are more prone to pedophilia than right-handed people. I think it's great that they're doing this type of research. I believe it will lead to finding a cure. Castration isn't going to stop them from offending if it's a problem within the brain.
@@mikikiki Some people are born without a "conscience. " Their brain is not wired the same. He probably has done other things, that are wrong. All rape is about power.
I really enjoyed you talk. It was done without emotion concerning this whole horrible situation. I took a short course with the DSM 4R. We had someone come in to discuss crimes of this nature. One thing that impressed me was the speaker said recovery was around 1.4 percent
i'm not surprised about this. he didn't even get real help and his family defended his ass off, and they'll probably continue to defend him regarding this
The parents are really defending their own image. I have a feeling they do not want to be associated with him anymore since he has an addiction that they don't know how to help him with. They did try to minimize & downplay the severity of the allegations for the sake of the squeaky clean image they want the family to have. However, since this is a pattern with him & technically he is a grown man with six children of his own...I think they may have to disown him in a way. I believe his parents are very image-obsessed and they don't want to tarnish their small town wholesome conservative values that they heavily imbued on the show. So they may resort to telling their friends & neighbors..."we did the best we could for him"...and just sweep it under the rug.
Hypothetically, if someone like him with his history is guilty of receiving and possessing CP, what are the chances he has not acted inappropriately with his own children?
I can't speak to the odds of him acting inappropriately with his own kids, but I think I heard the odds of someone in possession of CP having committed CSA are about 76%.
The only “effective” treatment for this problem in my opinion is prison for life or having a 24/7 babysitter watching your every single move so you don’t hurt anyone!!
Since it is virtually impossible to cure these pedos, why should we continue to spend tax dollars to either lock them up or provide monitoring? Why should society have to continue to tolerate these people. I can think of a very final alternative.
I had watched the show in the beginning. I remember the episode when he was getting ready to marry Anna. His dad handed him a book that he was supposed to read to talk about the night of their wedding since supposedly they had not been together sexually. What Josh said to his dad when he got that book gave me chills to my bone… He said “so I’m gonna have a real live working model after tomorrow!” That disturbed me so much… It showed me in that moment that she was a play thing to him not a human being. His dad took note of that statement as well and became visibly uncomfortable. I knew this was going to happen or something like it. Because I saw in that moment that he was not right in the head. I will never forget it.
Did you see that? They get married and go to a motel. He's dragging her by the arm, a reporter or sometime it's trying to ask him a question off camera. He looks at them in a panic and beelines into the hotel room, desperate for sex. He didn't look like he'd last long enough to get his pants down, much less hers. He was really scary fumbling with the key to shove her on the bed.
Homeland security said " was in the top 5 worst cases they have investigated" you know they have already seen some terrible things in that job. I also want to add Michelle Duggar's voice makes my ears bleed !
I dont think they go to a real Christian Church. It is more cult like. The men can do no wrong they confess to the church and of course are immediately forgiven. The women & girls have No rights. That is Not Christian.
Anna allows him around those kids knowing he is a predator. That whole family puts those kids in danger n have for years. They are so quick to judge others for predatory behavior then enable him to do it to his own family.
If Anna loves her kids and cares about their safety and welfare she will take them and run to parts unknown. If he will do it to his sisters he will do it to his kids. Just my opinion. His parents should be held in account too.
Your intellect and dry sense of humor reminds me so much of an LCSW I work with at a dual diagnosis treatment center. I’m a case manager aspiring to go back to school to transfer into clinical work. I always appreciate the humorous delivery of personal opinions from both of you!
In another interview, the Dugger parents mentioned that while discussing Josh's teen offences with church members, they found that this pattern of in-family sexual abuse is not uncommon within their community.
what's "their community" like, the community of the world? because, yeah sure. or people who believe in having crazy large families. cause aren't they just very strict Christians from Arkansas. that's like everyone in every small town in arkansas. I live in arkansas. (I understand you might not know, I guess it was more of a rhetorical question)
Thanks for being the only one, hundreds of comments down, who has the guts to speak up about this. It's so disgustingly widespread, all the while preaching a virtuous lifestyle.
It's tragic that this happens in many religious communities, basically gets covered up because they often don't believe in any 'treatment' except through their religious teachings. Some don't believe in taking any meds for mental health either, which could be extremely damaging, especially if someone has schizophrenia etc. 😭😢
And that is Christianity, just close your eyes and pray it away. If you keep your eyes closed long enough you can't see all the bad stuff happening around you.
I am so happy that you did this video! This family has always been an unusual interest of mine. More often than not the ones that proclaim such morality are the most Insidious.
I’m intellectually addicted to you and your channel.. I have Dissociative amnesia (DID) and have not disassociated in 3 yr.. The mental health system in this country is unfortunate and it’s stigma is like steel.... I’m very interested in this case and have not been able to watch anything on the case because the verbiage triggers my trauma... thank you Dr.Grande for your dedication to and for mental health it needs your view and understanding...
Josh was their ( the Duggers) first child and a boy! (Very important for them) ..He was parented by Jim Bob and Michelle exclusively because there were no girls to do mom and dads work. The parents probably bonded with Josh way more than the last dozen or more children.
I think the doc *really* hit the nail on the head when he talked about these parents separating the offender from the offense. These are people who devoutly categorize everything in terms of "sin" vs. "virtue." So it's likely incredibly easy for them to simply "hate the sin and love the sinner," without ever acknowledging that the sin and the sinner are inextricably intertwined. This gives them the ability to see their son as a wonderful, godly, moral person who was somehow contaminated by "sin," but that once he's born again (again!) the sin will magically disappear, leaving only a perfectly godly, moral person. They seem to think that forgiving him will also magically erase the trauma suffered by the victims, and that a failure to forgive him is, in their minds, a sin almost comparable to the abuse they endured. But that's not how it works, unfortunately. And so, tragically, multiple young girls had to pay for this lack of insight and parenting skills with the unspeakably traumatic loss of their innocence at the hands of a predatory family member, who by all rights should have been one of the people they could trust most. I can only hope that now, finally, the law will step in and prevent him from being around potential victims ever again. Because it seems quite clear that this family cannot be counted on, ever, to protect their most vulnerable and innocent children from abuse, nor can they be counted on to ever actually take workable steps to protect those potential victims.
I have a video suggestion for another TLC family, the Browns from Sister Wives. So much to unpack. Why someone stays in an unhappy marriage (Meri), dealing with jealousy (Christine), being the favorite (Robin), strong independent woman syndrome (Janelle) pros/cons of having your own harem (Cody). Plus how living their lives in the spotlight can affect kids. Issues around religious discrimination.
Omg once again getcha popcorn 🍿 ready! Oh I love the commentary on the whole “wasn’t this the learning channel”? And just recording every day life as being entertainment. I’m not sure where that got mainstreamed either, we existed, someone got married, someone did laundry,etc. who knew all we had to do was turn on a camera and record out every day activities and wham bam thank you ma’am we have a tv series! All brought home in Grande’s smooth monotone auditory. When I get around to writing my autobiography imma beg him to voice the audio book cause it’s gonna flow much like my sarcastic inklings. Love it!
I do not understand why his wife didn’t leave him immediately when he was charged the first time. Instead she chose to to stay with him and continued to bring children into this environment. This is not godly. It’s disgusting. He should have been dealt with along time ago.
Because she grew up in the same cult, which taught her that if she dared to leave her husband for fucking her children, SHE was the problem, and that it was HER fault for not being as sexually available to her husband as he needed.
Anyone else find his voice to be unintentional ASMR? 😄 Very relaxing. Thanks for your videos! I love hearing the psychology behind what is happening with different cases in the media!
Dr. Grande got the big sponsors! Been watching you for years for the educational content. I like this format, but I also liked the vignettes of behavior in session. Cheers.
Yes & I've never wanted to slap someone across the face more than josh Duggar when i first saw that picture. What a pos. Lots of commentors have said he appears high in that picture, & I concur. Hope he gets decades in prison.
You’re right that the TLC was kind of the original family TH-cam channel. Between “Toddlers and Tiarras” and “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo,” I’ve never really understood where the “learning” comes in Maybe you should do a video on poverty tourism or the psychology of watching dysfunctional families on television
Exploitation of the poor and uneducated is a major part of TV. From Montel to Maury to Sally Jessy to the Queen herself, all degraded America into peeping Toms for profit till reality TV was born.
thank you for taking the time to talk about treatment. i think so many people go straight to hyperviolent fantasies about how they’d like to harm people like that, without regard for the fact that that doesn’t help victims at all.
Everything the Duggar parents do is to give Josh comfort above his sisters ..The girls have locks but josh has freedom as if his parents office would stop him what could Michelle do as they travel alot profiting from the Show...Their golden child Josh gets his own room plus a computer and screening room this makes his life real comfy!
Right? I wonder if the dad knew this and knew he was a safe person to “council” his son. I wanna know where he learned behavior like that at such a young age..and what else that family has covered up/is covering up.
@@leaky_666 I'm not saying he is...but I can't help but believe that Jim Bob himself may very well be guilty of at least some of the same things his golden boy has done.
Dr. Todd..Can you do a session about ultra religious groups and the suppression of children’s sexuality? Being raised in an environment that denies that we are sexual beings and shamed for having these feelings is extremely damaging to a child’s psyche. It’s no surprise that Duggar has inappropriate sexual desires, and he shares this issue with numerous religious “men of God “throughout the world. I will take a giant leap here and state from my observation of the Duggar family...Josh’s malformed thinking is the result of being raised in this rigid family system that looks at sex as a sinful act .
People that sexually abuse & watch child pornography cannot be rehabilitated. If they could we would not be here today. I cannot imagine how devastating this would be to the family.
Dr. Grande - I just recently ran across your channel and I LOVE your content! Thank you for taking time out of your day to share with us your kind, astute, and subtly humorous analyses. Could you possibly do a segment on the sunset strip killers, Douglas Clark and Carol Bundy? 😬
I was raised Christian and conservative and homeschooled and my wife and I caught one of my brothers molesting one of my daughters. We reported it immediately to authorities and my family cut us off. The case has still yet to go to trial. It’s been 4 years. But I have no regrets. I would’ve done it again even if I had known what would’ve happened. We must speak out and we must protect our children, no matter the cost.
There is a definite arrogance in the fundie community believing they are immune from such things or can cure everything with prayer. Josh always had a creepiness that the other brothers didn’t. His children will now suffer greatly. It’s interesting that the Duggar girls who have married (even other fundamentalists) are probably more protected than women that marry into the family.
You did the right thing. We are our children’s shield against evil. If we don’t protect them, no one will.
He's lucky you didn't kill him. For 4 years he's out living his life but your daughter is living a life sentence. I hope she received some counseling.
shame on your "family".You are the better person....thank you for caring for the victims.
You did the right thing
I’m honestly more interested in the psychology behind Anna, his wife, and why she is unable to bring herself to leave him even though he is a danger to not only children but their own.
It’s because she has had it drummed into her that she gets married has children as many as God wants you to have and it’s her failings that has caused Josh to do these things. She has had no life skills outside of family. Has t worked so no means of bringing money into the house. It’s really sad!!
She's in denial, how awful for her and children
It seems like women are raised to be completely submissive to men. Also, it seems like they are taught their only purpose is to be a wife and reproduce.
Have you seen what the sketchier reports have said about her beliefs surrounding the arrest? It’s being said she truly believes this was a “political attack” and had Trump been president it wouldn’t have occurred. Normally I think reports from trash media are BS but seriously think this time they may be right...
I think part of it is religion, but part is fear. The Duggars financially support her. If she leaves, she's on her own with seven kids, no education and no work experience. Her parents are poor and live in a single-wide trailer. She probably feels staying put is her only option.
The problem is that his parents didn't care that their little girls were being assaulted. If they did there would have been no conflict at all about turning him into the police.
I wouldn't doubt Jim Bob is the one who taught Josh it was ok to do that to his sisters. By words and by his actions. I have a feeling there is more of the same from the rest of the siblings.
They blamed the girls, they some how caused Josh to do this.
@@TurkeyFarmerGirl That's just way beyond disturbing to me. WAAAY disturbing. Those poor girls did NOTHING WRONG!!! JimBob makes me physically ill.
He was still their son. I can't really fault them for wanting to keep things in-house.
Edit: Not condoning anything before anyone gets triggered.
@@tamara6212 Women are not rehab centers for broken men. Anna is also a victim of this toxic culture.
I always felt bad for the older Duggar kids, especially the girls, because it wasn’t their decision to keep adding to the family yet they were the ones saddled with caring for all the kids.
I too always thought this. Those older girls didn’t ask to be parents, yet the babies at some point were always assigned to them for care so the mom could have another. It was abusive and gross.
I'm appalled how raising your daughters to be happily available to their future husbands is not a crime. The girls are set up to be potentially abused in the future and can only hope (sorry...pray) to get a husband that will not take advantage of the situation. Specially because a lot of those marriages seems to be arranged, and the men know their wives should be happily available. And being homeschooled doesn't give them much of an opportunity to see that things can be different. The parents get the freedom to take the freedom of the kids it seems.
Oh yeah, and child labour rules do not apply if you're working for free for your parents apparently.
I agree. I'm a Christian, and always felt like these parents were ridiculous. Their children were suffering because of their selfish behavior. The mom was a baby factory, and the kids surrogate parents. Something negative was inevitable.
i noticed in a few shows, jessa and jinger would play dumb, and say they couldnt cook, i think they did that so they wouldnt have more responsibility
“Oh look at me; I’m technically alive! When did that become a skill?” Dr. Grande bringin’ the shade like a boss.
Look out smudge
And the best part is that some folks pay good money every month to watch these toobers make coffee in their converted school bus. Oh well. But that was indeed a great comment.
I got a good laugh out of this comment, got to admit Dr Grande was right!
Perfect summary.
I was just about to leave the exact same comment. Too funny !
The parents cared more for their own reputations (and money making opportunities) and their precious son than they did about their own daughters who were victimized.
In their way of life women and girls don't count for much. They are there just to produce offspring, that's it.
Exactly. They knew their meal ticket was toast once this got out. THey did nothing to right any of it for their children, whom they claim to think are so precious that they must keep bringing them into the world. Actions speak louder than words.
Why are you saying that nasty thing about these parents?
Josh Duggar has six children. I’d bet he’s been inappropriate with them.
@B McCabe *I was just wondering if he had. I'm thinking it's a very high possibility. Also, I wonder if his wife has left her kids alone with him also an extremely high possibility that she has. **_VERY_** disgusting, all the way around! There's a special place in hell for people who **_RUIN_** innocent children's lives by violating them in this way!*
I was molested by my step dad from the ages of 7-12 and he was never held accountable and has recommitted his crimes over the past 50 years with no repercussions whatsoever and I just don’t understand why these men are rarely brought to justice, they just keep getting away with it.
I’m so sorry you experienced this!
nope. sometimes being a victim is more offensive than pursuing consequences for the offender. it’s sick.
Sometimes we need to take justice into are own hands.
Find a way to give the mother of his kids a heads up, either anonymous note in someone else's handwriting mailed far from where you live or a straight up, just letting you know, sent to her via a greeting card as it's likely not to be intercepted. It's worth trying to protect the kids. Or, you could contact CPS. Chances are really high he offended after you.
I have seen adults cringe when the subject of sexual abuse comes up. These are mostly social workers who knew both the client and criminal. The subject was too difficult for them to discuss. I was really shocked. So shocked.
The girls all wanting a single room in the house makes sense. They thought there would be safety in numbers to protect them from Josh. Clearly there was no one else there to protect them
That's just chilling, and makes so much sense.
The parents were too busy making babies to worry about what was going on in the daughters rooms by a pervert son.
I saw an interview (clip) of the parents in either their bedroom or the girls (couldn’t tell) and it had a lock high up on the inside! So much that was blatantly obvious that so many viewers missed, myself included!
After Josh told his father he was molesting the sisters, the parents decided the way to stop this was to have all the girls sleep in one room, in their clothes, and they locked them in. That's when he molested the babysitter.
And when Josh admitted his actions to his parents, their solution was to put a lock on the girl's room, not the boy's room....
I don’t care if you’re my son, if you do this to your SISTERS or any other girl, I’m turning you in!!!!!! This is unacceptable.
They made it sound like it was the girls fault he did it.
Jim bob tells Michelle to keep quite to keep the show going
@@pamvikingson1516 So what's new lol
My thoughts exactly. I work at a domestic violence and sexual assault agency and any inappropriate touch/ rape is sick and needs repercussions. Those chains the victim feels is a life sentence. I don’t trust my child with ANYONE, it’s sad but true…
If I had a son who did it to his sisters, I wouldn’t turn him in but would severely punish him and then have him go through therapy or treatment. I also would have to contruct a small house/unit for him in the backyard as I wouldn’t trust him to be sleeping under the same roof with his sisters.
Will the next spin off be called "19 years to life"? Lock the parents up while they're at it. They tried to cover this up.
Good one! 👍
LOL Dr. G missed a zinger not coming up with 19 years to life! You win the Internet!!!
Hah! I made this same quip when the news broke!
@mssta I hope his cell mate is Bubba the back door man
I hope so
Court allowed Josh to be around his children with Anna supervision. If she’s blind to his behavior does anyone honestly believe she’ll watch him?
She'll watch him up to a point. I have no doubt if he ordered her to leave him alone with one if them she would. Bad choice, judge. There are people who work at CPS who do just that. They supervise visits. Why didn't the judge appoint a professional to supervise?
yup, SleepingWithTheEnemy
And she is blind to it. She's completely in denial. She thinks he's innocent; she's believing every word Josh tells her. I always found it so creepy how she physically hangs off him all the time. It's just weird. And she looks at him like he's God. It creeps me out. There is SO much dysfunction in that family due to the religious cult they're in. Sigh.
@@angelagak399 They are not in a cult.
@@Saintsrockitall The IBLP is a cult. What on earth else would you call it?
The Duggar’s have one daughter who married, but she and her husband chose to not join the Duggar’s church, although they are Christians. Because of this, the daughter and her husband have been shunned by the family.... one of the cardinal signs of a cult.
What? Who? I’ve never heard of this daughter. And I watched them when they only had like 14 kids.
Sounds like Jill Dillard.
@@lindsayb7811 I wasn’t aware she was “shunned”. 🤔

"People were paying attention to the family, because of its... size."
Love that delivery!
Jim Bob and Michelle should find new hobbies. So should Josh and Anna.
Because of their f****ing craziness!
The daughters of the family have received the message loud and clear. Our son is more important than you, our reputation is more important than your, our bottom line is more important than you. Those parents are nauseating in multiple ways.
I grew up in the church that tried to "rehabilitate" Duggar through prayer and physical labor. I left when I was in my teens, long before this. The church declared Josh cured as he managed not to reoffend during his stay. He was housed with adult men and not given access to anything other than a Bible and his "character workbook." All his waking hours were spent in physical labor or prayer. How much trouble could he get into in that environment? Plus, the church and "addictions ministry" are run by a pastor who claims to have a PhD, but doesn't. What he has is a Messiah Complex. Think Jim Jones with less drugs.
Well it didn't work!
@@judyarvy3702 and it’s not to say that it can’t work, prayer absolutely works but a person must exercise their God-given free will to turn away from evil. It’s a shame...he’s sick.

Repeat offenders are the most dangerous.
I hope they put him away.
Cannot believe that Judge let him back around his kids!

@@ritahall2378 Humour is an important tool of healthy human coping behaviour. What is truly serious is you trying to shame people for approaching difficult subjects- sometimes ones which can be particularly triggering due to personal trauma- in a manner which allows them to diffuse stress and maintain mental health.

@@janewright315 There’s no place in my mind for humor when a child is being violated , raped , and robbed of who they were as a human being before this crime against nature happened to them . It is a lifetime of healing for victims. Something is wrong with you
Over 200 images of children from the ages of 18 months to 12 years old and in the top 5 worst the agent has ever seen...🤢 Can't even imagine how those who have to investigate these images must feel and the psychological impact it must have on them. I do not want that job ever, no amount of money can convince me to do it. Loads of respect and sympathy to those who have to do this job.
Josh's wife creeps me out too, I get she is conditioned to stand by her man but heck when is enough, enough?
They proabably like looking at this sick stuff. Creepy cops.
@Citrus Couldn't pay me to sift through that shit. I'd either throw up or end up with a violent disposition toward humans. I have to imagine the videos are worse than photos. The fact that people access the dark web for this shit specifically, should increase the punishment they get.
Apparently one of the videos Josh had in his possession is very infamously terrible, so bad that its name is known among Internet culture outside the predator underground. I won't repeat its name here. But if he was getting off to THAT without any remorse, that tells you in seconds that he has absolutely no love in his heart for anyone. None whatsoever.
I remember reading a new paper article of cops that were caught when investigating other people. I guess investigating that stuff can also warp someone.
Some of those vids were from Peter Scully’s, an Australian con artist and pedophile who made child porn with violence in the Philippines. In one instance, he videoed and strangled to death an 11 yo girl. His youngest victim was 5 yo.
One of his first mistakes was describing his family as "the epitome of Christian values." None of us should hold ourself up to that kind of standard, because that's just not true.
Love this.
@Mrs Flo
I thought JC himself was supposed to be the epitome of christian values lol
As a Christian, I don’t believe we should put other people on pedestals. We should only model ourselves after Christ, because people are imperfect and will always let you down
I was molested by my stepfather my entire childhood. I don't think sexual offenders will ever stop. They are literally built different or something. IDK...it's horrible
The families image was more important than the victims, and that is unforgivable, shame on them.
And the majority of the victims were their own daughters
This family is why I boycott TLC, and it's subsidiaries. If it's possible, write to Scrippts media to remove this family from the air.
Why are you saying that?
I don think so at all. I think most people if faced with a similar issue would feel ashamed and would not know what to do. It’s easy as an outsider to say “oh they should have done this or that” but it’s not your son is it?
Had the Duggars made a bigger deal of the situation their daughters could have been publicly humiliated and may have even been made to testify against their own brother in court. That’s pretty traumatizing as well for really young girls so I can understand why they chose to remove Josh from the home on their own, sending him away to wherever they sent him, and giving him his own room etc...
If JB and Michelle really didn’t care they would have told no one but they did seek help from their Church and even another officer. I don’t think they did everything right but it’s more-so due to their ignorance then any malicious intent. They are human after all.
First of all, I would take the pervert to the police and have them throw in jail.
Did I just hear that correctly, the man who Josh confessed to was himself later arrested for crimes against children!?
Yes
As they say, “There’s your problem”
Quite the coincidence.
Yeah, I had to rewind to be sure I had heard that correctly. Mind boggling.
*YES*!!!
As a survivor of csa by my biological father, I love to see abusers go to jail. As they should. As they only see there victims as tools for there own sexual gratification. With disregard to them as a person. In a way, its almost not even personal. As victims are often picked out of accses. I hope the cycle of abuse can be stoped in that family. I wish the survivors out there all the best. The statutes for sexual crimes regarding children, should not have a run out. In my country, the statute is life long. As, research has shown, it can take decades for survivors to come to grip with the abuse, and be mentaly healthy enought to come forward. I came forward when I was 5, and still CPS and the police had trouble trying to prosses my case. The justice system is set up to deal with offendrs, not victims. One of the reasons justice is so hard to fight for. I'm now 36. And still with concreate evidence, trying to get justice. For myself, and other victims.
Lock him up!! Josh needs to be removed from the possibility of harming children for the rest of his life. The odds of cure is small and not worth the threat to another child!
I’m really scared to find out what he’s done to his own kids. Did Anna let him be alone with them? It makes me sick just thinking about it.
That was my very first thought too.
My thoughts exactly.
Especially tending to his girls alone!
After finding out the sick shit he viewed I really hope not but that’s probably not the case 😞

@@barbarahoffman1207 That particular part of the presentation was actually quite funny.
Dr. Grande, do you plan to do an update now that Josh has been found guilty?
That whole family is a mess. They allowed him to get away with m0lesting girls (including his sisters) almost 20 years ago! This isn’t a shock. I just feel bad for his children and victims. The “program” he was sent to was just a family friend... he was never punished and that’s why he kept doing more until he got caught. He deserves a long prison sentence and never to be around any children ever again.
I always kind of wondered why he was just counseled. What a perv! 🤢
@Jacqueline since his victim range seems to be prepubescent children, girls under 12, I have a hard time believing none of the children he’s had continued access to - including his own - have been affected.
What do you think he'd have been doing in a proper criminal justice program? He wouldn't have done any hard labor but what else do you suppose would have been better in the justice system? Explain?
The man who allegedly counseled him received 56 years in prison!
@@bbe3034 Did he? For what?
Wait, wait, hold on here--I've had to rewind this a few times--so James Hutchins, an Arkansas State Trooper, a man Josh was counseled by, went to prison too for child pornography?

He was one sick guy. And luckily got caught.
Sickening isn't it? 🤢🤢🤢
Makes me wonder if the Duggers told him for a reason...
I rewinded three times. You’re right.
@@Catlily5 That's exactly what I was thinking.
I have a solution. Since there is no treatment and these perverts will keep re-offending, brand the word “Pedophile” into their foreheads. That way we can immediately know who, and what, they are. If they are offended by this . . . too bad. We have to protect our children.
Bullets are best. My perpetrators got away with it. I would volunteer for firing squads.
We have the offenders list so we know when they are in our neighborhood. Most countries don't have that. We do need longer sentences without probation, and continued, life long restitution to victims after the perv is released .
A bullet in their forehead would be my suggestion.
His parents made decisions based on money and protecting their money.
Sexual offenders are sorry when they are CAUGHT!!!

Extremely damaging and harmful mentality for no valid reason apart from an old book (that was no doubt written by men) says so.
@@D-me-dream-smp
You obviously don’t know the New Testament. Your prejudices are duly noted.
Honestly, I don’t think this upbringing causes pedophilia. From what I’ve read, many believe to be an inborn trait like heterosexuality, which is why it’s so difficult to treat. If a pedophile’s brain is hardwired to be sexually attracted to children, no treatment can change that attraction, any more than a heterosexual’s attraction for the opposite sex can be changed.
@@oldcollegecoed I agree, but in an environment like this, it's easier to find victims and get away with it.
Thank you for this analysis! I’d love an analysis of Jim Bob and Michelle (how they fell into a cult, how horribly they raised their kids, etc). One of the kids, Jill, isn’t allowed around her siblings unsupervised because she developed a mind of her own. Which the parents seem to think is worse than Josh’s behavior.
You're just not telling the truth. Jill actually IS allowed around her siblings and family. She actually said they mainly stayed away because of the COVID problem and some "disagreements" with her parents. And this is just awful, you know, because young people NEVER disagree with their parents. Right. Jill and her husband regularly go to family functions and she said they are "healing" from all the things that happened with Josh.
You and countless other people talk like the Duggars are the only family to EVER have troubled and criminal family members. You don't know any of them personally.
I know the Duggars personally and have for not quite 40 years. They are fine people that have raised some of the most humble and upstanding people I've ever known. Every family has disagreements between each other and the Duggars always work out anything that could potentially become a problem. I've watched over the years as their kids have grown up and their kids are a joy to be around. I live right down the road from them and they have also been very good neighbors. You say they are so horrible, yet you know nothing about them other than the terrible trash talk you've read in the press and in tabloid articles. It has been painful to watch my good friends be slandered and bashed by so many people. Stop spreading such toxic information that just isn't true.
@@CivilEngineerWroxton Respectfully, neighbours and even close friends don’t really know what goes on behind closed doors.
Rebecca, I would love to see an analysis on Jim Bob as well since it was his decision to get the family involved with a cult. Those poor girls are trapped with no way to educate themselves outside of the fundamentalists teachings. It’s sad. Jill was lucky enough to marry an educated man who had a strong, independent mom. He will be a licensed lawyer soon and I hope the best for their family as they heal.
@@CivilEngineerWroxton I don’t agree with family vloggers at all. They are literally pimping out their children to make money. If you put yourself and your life out there in the public domain, you are going to be critiqued. It is the right of the viewer as they are the consumer. The vloggers are selling themselves as a product.
@@CivilEngineerWroxton Ah, yes, a family friend and neighbour. In other words, precisely the person who vehemently upholds the public reputations of sexual abusers and those who cover their crimes. After all, as we all know, the neighbours would know if the girls were truly sexually abused. And ol’ Al Scarborough who lives down the road says they’ve always been great neighbours! Well, pardon us all, case closed, then! After all, he’s met the family and he likes them. Sexual abusers definitely never have friends, never hide things from everyone besides their victims, never use their public reputations and the testimony of friendly neighbours as a weapon against their victim’s claims.
Nope. Nothing but an upstanding good old Christian godfearing man to see here, valiantly doing his part to launder abusers’ reputations on the internet. Nothing to see here. Nothing at all.
I read somewhere that the Duggar girls were not allowed to shower in privacy because they might "touch themselves". They always had to have a sibling in the bathroom with them. This is just sick! The parents had a preoccupation with sexualizing their children, specifically the girls. There are some deep, dark, disturbing things going on with Jim Bob & Michelle.
That is where Josh learns his sick behavior watching his father, especially since Jim is overly obsessive with Jana.
Statute of limitations angers me more and more each day 😡 Our system is so crappy at protecting victims and the culture of victim blaming makes it’s so difficult for people to bring offenses forward that three year statute is complete bullish!t
The parents let their daughters down big time to cover up for their wonderful son
This happens a lot in some cultures - they won't report the son's misbehaviour because sons are important. There was a 9 year old boy in India who killed 3 of his infant female relatives and the parents didn't report it because they were only girls and he is a precious boy. It only got discovered because he killed a neighbour's baby and they spoke out.
Yes, and that’s the biggest betrayal to his daughter’s!
Odd that you say this yet the girls have never expressed anything of the kind.
If any investigators are watching, please have Josh's children interviewed, without Anna.
@@carmenaguilar7427 I'm 100% certain that was done weeks ago.

Worst parents ever
As a victim from my birth parents and in foster care, I can say that it messes with ones head for the rest of their lives. And my foster family supported their own kids over reporting the problems. In fact, they were also part of the problem.

“Can you believe TLC stands for The Learning Channel” is one of my dad’s favorite things to say
I remember when it actually was a learning channel... But greed changed that quickly
I personally like to call it the TMI channel
My gpa does that too
I remember watching "The Operation" on TLC years ago....it was brilliant!! No BS talking, just a little H&P with the patient, the surgery and a follow up...all in 30 minutes. I don't have testicles but the vasectomy reversal still haunts me!!

“A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches.” Ones sin affects the entire family.
It sounds like the crimes he committed when he was a young teenager may have been more serious than what we were lead to believe. Given he was still quite young himself and experiencing lots of changes in hormones', I can imagine that a lot of parents in that scenario might want to believe he was just confused rather than immediately shipping him off to jail. However, hearing now that a baby sitter was also a victim, that does changes things. At the time, they made it sound like it was just "inappropriate" touching but I'm suspicious that perhaps it was a lot more than that.
I would be super interested in hearing what Dr. Grande thinks of family vlogging. Specifically what long term effects might be for kids who's parents vlog their every move.
Yes!
You will have to look for it but dr. Grande did make a video about it.
It was nice,but I think other people have talked about this on yt as well
This was tough to get through.
Thank you for putting the victims first.
Sibling sexual abuse is more prevalent in our society than people realize. It needs to be talked about more.
We need to teach children about sex better and earlier, and we need not to punish and blame victims.
Great comment
People are always always warning children about “stranger danger” yet sadly the largest percentage of predators are someone known to the child. It’s very important to teach children about their right to bodily autonomy regardless of who they are with. This is why I will never force my child to hug or kiss someone, even a family member (you can still teach them to be polite while maintaining appropriate boundaries). By doing this a child learns that it is okay to say NO to physical contact or an activity if it makes them feel uncomfortable, even when it’s an adult or someone in authority. Keeping non judgemental open dialogue and communication is also important as it helps to foster a loving nurturing relationship as well as hopefully making them less vulnerable to seeking attention elsewhere. Unfortunately predators are very good at identifying children who are needy or isolated and will often exploit a child’s natural desire for attention and love for nefarious intentions.
@@D-me-dream-smp yes, thank you for your comment 💜 we can teach consent to children this way. And wouldn’t it be nice if there were fewer children so vulnerable to predation because of lack of knowledge, understanding, and their own acceptable boundaries?
@@D-me-dream-smp Great comment and so true!
@@D-me-dream-smp yes!! Stranger danger was actually one of the worst things at least my generation was taught. 80’s 90’s. It taught us to fear strangers. Yeah so if you’re being molested by someone close or a stranger, you’ll never tell anyone. Because strangers are all bad. And I’m disgusted because I still hear about it from my youngest who’s 9! He learns it from school apparently.
Hutchins: if I had known there were multiple victims, I would've done more to stop him. One molested sister is totally okay. More would be a problem.
It's progressive, with out treatment and even if they have treatment it's extremely difficult to stop. Usually no contact with children is the only way to avoid a repeat!!!!!
So jim Bob is told by his daughter that her older brother (jb and Michelle's oldest son) has been "inappropriate" with 4 of his daughters, (btw, one of those 4 daughters was under the age of 4 at the time.... "😢" ... jb didnt believe it but finally jd was confronted and instead of getting him psychiatric treatment and calling the authorities, jb sent golden boy to "camp" and turns out, began referring to the daughter that told, as the family tattletale....
I was raised in a family only slightly less strict and baby crazy than the Duggars. My 2 daughters were molested by a family member I saw at the pulpit every weekend - starting when they were 3 & 4 and continuing for several years. My dauģhters didn't tell me until they were in their late twenties because they knew I would seriously go after him. The stricter the religion, the more pedophilia abounds - a sad fact.
Yes, all the major religions have a paedophilia problem. Many of them are now saying it's all a conspiracy concocted by the left. These degenerates make me want to puke.
@@aarondavis8943 I agree and so it isn't just the celibacy required of Catholic priests. It has its roots in the perpetrator's childhood.
When people trade raising a family for running a baby factory, bad things happen. I'm a Christian, and was disgusted by these selfish parents forcing their older kids to take care of their younger kids. When you've got 2 or 3 kids, asking your older kids to help out is reasonable. However, when you have 19 kids, and intend to keep going, it's abusive. Absolutely ridiculous.

I think Dr. Grande should actually be the voice for audio books and the new siri honestly his voice is so soothing
I inhaled my coffee and almost drowned in it when you said the Trooper was convicted of CP. I was already disgusted that he just gave a "stern talking to", and wasn't expecting him to be guilty of it himself.
Edit: typo
I missed that part, when did Dr G say that?
I was ALSO in utter shock that the trooper was ALSO a pedo…
I know girl, I almost died
Did I hear that right, Hutchins the cop, a close family friend who gave him a stern lecture got 56 years for CP? That sure makes you wonder what they really talked about or if this older cop helped him get CP.
Makes you wonder what Jim Bob is up to in the confines of his office.
That's right. How can the family reporting to Hutchins count in the statute of limitations?
A former cop in prison for child porn, what could be a shittier situation?
@@susancheer5981 why do you assume the parents knew about this cop?
And the cop isn't the one who provides the councelling. He's just the one who spoke to him .
But it's very possible that this cop encouraged or justified Josh's sickness.
@@louisacapell i am not assuming anything, because this is a one dimensional platform, one thoughts are constantly misconstued. Have a nice day.
Esp. Since in some vicinages child abuse gets relatively low jail time.
There should be no statute of limitations for child molestation! Especially when you consider how difficult it is for victims to come forward and confront their abuser. The path for victims to report on abuse should be made as smooth as possible. I'm shocked that an obstacle in the form of this 3 year statute of limitations exists.
I have seen 5 year statute get in the way of prosecution in state of KS. It was the date of act until reported. Very young child told parents for first time 5 years later and they could not determine exact date of crime 5 years earlier so nothing at all was done. However young child was taken in room and taped by law enforcement while questioned. That tape locked and sealed. Parent were never allowed to see tape or know details just in case offender ever went to trial on another unrelated charge. Not sure if law/statute still same. Know another case where kids were abducted for 5 years by noncustodial parent also in state of KS. Kids were found because their faces appeared on milk carton. Noncustodial parent did not go to jail and was able to have the kids unsupervised as if nothing had happened. While custodial parent did not have kids for 5 years (2/3 when abducted and 7/8 when found). The kids were lied to and told custodial parent had died, did not want them, etc. Those kids were robbed of their childhood as well as custodial parent as bond was never the same. Millions of devastating stories that will never find their way to justice. Heart breaking and gut-wrenching.
Majority of judges in U.S. are men just like Josh who make these laws to protect their pedophilia too.
I found Dr. grande a few weeks ago and I’ve been binging ever since ! I’ve added him to my fall asleep list too lol his voice is so soothing.
Conservative Christian Cult better explains the Duggar’s “religion “.
I’d love to hear your opinion on Jill Duggar Dillard. She’s split away from the family despite being one of the most obedient early on.
I would bet that it's due to nonchurch therapy. Seeing a therapist on the outside also gives her a chance to see a whole picture with a new perspective. With this new view, she can understand what is okay and what is not, with that she can set boundaries to protect herself.
@@excitingtimes-hh2bu I’d agree but there’s something there that helped her to go to non-church therapy, which is not the norm for them at all.
At this point it seems like maybe there should just be a crime called “being like Josh Duggar”.
Duggering while under the influence of fundamentalist religion.
Like the subway guy... I've heard people say " he pulled a Jared" .. lol
“Pulling a Duggar”
They should just name SA on children "Josh Duggar Syndrome"
'Duggaring'
Is there research on identifying common factors in a perpetrators childhood that contribute to their developing pedophilia? Is it learned behavior, genetics or both?
Great analysis Dr. Grande - keep them coming!
No one is born wanting to m*lest kids! Y’all will use genetics to excuse any evil.
@@mikikiki She didn’t say it was genetics. She posed the question then threw up the factors that are most often discussed when it comes to behaviors. Calm down ffs. No ones defending it or disputing its evil & disgusting. The question was on identifying commonalities.
I did some research on this subject because I was molested by a few different men as a child and wanted to understand why this happens.
While environment can play a role in someone developing pedophilia tendencies, they have found that these types of people have "crossed wires" in their brains. To put it simply, when one of these people looks at a child, instead of sending signals to the part of the brain that controls paternal/maternal feelings, it instead sends signals to the part of the brain that's responsible for sexuality. Most of them have no control over it and many of them understand that there's something wrong with them and never go on to act on these feelings. Another odd finding is that people who are left-handed are more prone to pedophilia than right-handed people.
I think it's great that they're doing this type of research. I believe it will lead to finding a cure. Castration isn't going to stop them from offending if it's a problem within the brain.
@@mikikiki Grow up. People are allowed to be curious about the origins of these things, and Anne's question was a very valid one.
@@mikikiki
Some people are born without a "conscience. " Their brain is not wired the same. He probably has done other things, that are wrong. All rape is about power.
I really enjoyed you talk. It was done without emotion concerning this whole horrible situation. I took a short course with the DSM 4R. We had someone come in to discuss crimes of this nature. One thing that impressed me was the speaker said recovery was around 1.4 percent
i'm not surprised about this. he didn't even get real help and his family defended his ass off, and they'll probably continue to defend him regarding this
They are just as culpable since they have repeatedly enabled his behaviour and protected him from any consequences or repercussions.
It's shameful. Family values, please. Value your daughters and punish people who violate them.
@@D-me-dream-smp Well, he did get a "stern talking to." We see that how much that helped.
@@melindac3368 right?! By a cop who is now in jail for life for child porn. So that was wise.
The parents are really defending their own image. I have a feeling they do not want to be associated with him anymore since he has an addiction that they don't know how to help him with. They did try to minimize & downplay the severity of the allegations for the sake of the squeaky clean image they want the family to have. However, since this is a pattern with him & technically he is a grown man with six children of his own...I think they may have to disown him in a way. I believe his parents are very image-obsessed and they don't want to tarnish their small town wholesome conservative values that they heavily imbued on the show. So they may resort to telling their friends & neighbors..."we did the best we could for him"...and just sweep it under the rug.
Hypothetically, if someone like him with his history is guilty of receiving and possessing CP, what are the chances he has not acted inappropriately with his own children?
I can't speak to the odds of him acting inappropriately with his own kids, but I think I heard the odds of someone in possession of CP having committed CSA are about 76%.
Jill left the cult she hasn’t spoken to them in years got disowned by them her husband says Jim bob is like Jeffrey Epstein
I'd be very surprised if he hasn't been inappropriate with his own children.
The only “effective” treatment for this problem in my opinion is prison for life or having a 24/7 babysitter watching your every single move so you don’t hurt anyone!!
I can’t think of some more effective treatments
Not even sure physically removing anatomy would work, since the sickness is in the mind.
Since it is virtually impossible to cure these pedos, why should we continue to spend tax dollars to either lock them up or provide monitoring? Why should society have to continue to tolerate these people. I can think of a very final alternative.
That wouldn't only work if they didn't harm the babysitter
First sponsored video of Dr.Grande i caught. So exciting 😊😊😊 so glad for all the succes you deserve!
I had watched the show in the beginning. I remember the episode when he was getting ready to marry Anna. His dad handed him a book that he was supposed to read to talk about the night of their wedding since supposedly they had not been together sexually. What Josh said to his dad when he got that book gave me chills to my bone… He said “so I’m gonna have a real live working model after tomorrow!” That disturbed me so much… It showed me in that moment that she was a play thing to him not a human being. His dad took note of that statement as well and became visibly uncomfortable. I knew this was going to happen or something like it. Because I saw in that moment that he was not right in the head. I will never forget it.
Did you see that? They get married and go to a motel. He's dragging her by the arm, a reporter or sometime it's trying to ask him a question off camera. He looks at them in a panic and beelines into the hotel room, desperate for sex. He didn't look like he'd last long enough to get his pants down, much less hers. He was really scary fumbling with the key to shove her on the bed.
Homeland security said " was in the top 5 worst cases they have investigated" you know they have already seen some terrible things in that job. I also want to add Michelle Duggar's voice makes my ears bleed !
Yes, as does her sanctimonious facial expressions.
I dont think they go to a real Christian Church. It is more cult like. The men can do no wrong they confess to the church and of course are immediately forgiven. The women & girls have No rights. That is Not Christian.

Sa can be generational. No doubt.
@barbaraguest Me too.
“Oh look at me. I’m alive.” So many good one-liners in this one, Dr. Grande! 🤣
Anna allows him around those kids knowing he is a predator. That whole family puts those kids in danger n have for years. They are so quick to judge others for predatory behavior then enable him to do it to his own family.
Who knows what he does with his own kids when Anna isn’t around. 😬
@@pamerard8381 I wouldn't doubt she's around and he still does it. She would turn a blind eye
If Anna loves her kids and cares about their safety and welfare she will take them and run to parts unknown. If he will do it to his sisters he will do it to his kids. Just my opinion. His parents should be held in account too.

It's tragic that this happens in many religious communities, basically gets covered up because they often don't believe in any 'treatment' except through their religious teachings. Some don't believe in taking any meds for mental health either, which could be extremely damaging, especially if someone has schizophrenia etc. 😭😢
The Cop they turned to was busted for the same thing.
And that is Christianity, just close your eyes and pray it away. If you keep your eyes closed long enough you can't see all the bad stuff happening around you.
It’s unfortunately common in ‘closed’ communities. The FLDS is THE WORST and our government ignores it.
@@wordsalad01 I never said it occurs more often in Christian communities. Don't put words in my mouth
@@wordsalad01 Except for the self righteous BS in religion.
I am so happy that you did this video! This family has always been an unusual interest of mine. More often than not the ones that proclaim such morality are the most Insidious.
I’m intellectually addicted to you and your channel.. I have Dissociative amnesia (DID) and have not disassociated in 3 yr.. The mental health system in this country is unfortunate and it’s stigma is like steel.... I’m very interested in this case and have not been able to watch anything on the case because the verbiage triggers my trauma... thank you Dr.Grande for your dedication to and for mental health it needs your view and understanding...
Josh was their ( the Duggers) first child and a boy! (Very important for them) ..He was parented by Jim Bob and Michelle exclusively because there were no girls to do mom and dads work. The parents probably bonded with Josh way more than the last dozen or more children.
Great point! I didn’t even think about that
I think the doc *really* hit the nail on the head when he talked about these parents separating the offender from the offense. These are people who devoutly categorize everything in terms of "sin" vs. "virtue." So it's likely incredibly easy for them to simply "hate the sin and love the sinner," without ever acknowledging that the sin and the sinner are inextricably intertwined. This gives them the ability to see their son as a wonderful, godly, moral person who was somehow contaminated by "sin," but that once he's born again (again!) the sin will magically disappear, leaving only a perfectly godly, moral person. They seem to think that forgiving him will also magically erase the trauma suffered by the victims, and that a failure to forgive him is, in their minds, a sin almost comparable to the abuse they endured.
But that's not how it works, unfortunately. And so, tragically, multiple young girls had to pay for this lack of insight and parenting skills with the unspeakably traumatic loss of their innocence at the hands of a predatory family member, who by all rights should have been one of the people they could trust most.
I can only hope that now, finally, the law will step in and prevent him from being around potential victims ever again. Because it seems quite clear that this family cannot be counted on, ever, to protect their most vulnerable and innocent children from abuse, nor can they be counted on to ever actually take workable steps to protect those potential victims.
I have a video suggestion for another TLC family, the Browns from Sister Wives. So much to unpack. Why someone stays in an unhappy marriage (Meri), dealing with jealousy (Christine), being the favorite (Robin), strong independent woman syndrome (Janelle) pros/cons of having your own harem (Cody). Plus how living their lives in the spotlight can affect kids. Issues around religious discrimination.
good suggestion!
Omg once again getcha popcorn 🍿 ready! Oh I love the commentary on the whole “wasn’t this the learning channel”? And just recording every day life as being entertainment. I’m not sure where that got mainstreamed either, we existed, someone got married, someone did laundry,etc. who knew all we had to do was turn on a camera and record out every day activities and wham bam thank you ma’am we have a tv series! All brought home in Grande’s smooth monotone auditory. When I get around to writing my autobiography imma beg him to voice the audio book cause it’s gonna flow much like my sarcastic inklings. Love it!
Why is your voice SO soothing even when you’re talking about such upsetting things? It’s like a superpower
I do not understand why his wife didn’t leave him immediately when he was charged the first time. Instead she chose to to stay with him and continued to bring children into this environment. This is not godly. It’s disgusting. He should have been dealt with along time ago.
He confessed to her before they got married that he molested his sisters and a babysitter when he was young and she still went ahead and marry him
Didn’t she actually blame herself?
She was raised in a cult. She's always been told not to act in her best interests. It's disappointing but not surprising that she stayed.
Because she grew up in the same cult, which taught her that if she dared to leave her husband for fucking her children, SHE was the problem, and that it was HER fault for not being as sexually available to her husband as he needed.
She doesn't want to give up her lifestyle and money!

You’re right that the TLC was kind of the original family TH-cam channel. Between “Toddlers and Tiarras” and “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo,” I’ve never really understood where the “learning” comes in
Maybe you should do a video on poverty tourism or the psychology of watching dysfunctional families on television
All the shows were British except Bill Kurtis
The learning or "learning" comes from you and what you're able to gather and think through, what you can find.

So excited to hear this Dr. Grande. Been waiting. Thank you.
The next series will be about prison life“ Josh Duggar and his 19 years and counting”.
Wow
that was a good one 😂😂
19 stab wounds and counting?
Everything the Duggar parents do is to give Josh comfort above his sisters ..The girls have locks but josh has freedom as if his parents office would stop him what could Michelle do as they travel alot profiting from the Show...Their golden child Josh gets his own room plus a computer and screening room this makes his life real comfy!
19 time “prison justice” was just that justice !!

@@leaky_666 I'm not saying he is...but I can't help but believe that Jim Bob himself may very well be guilty of at least some of the same things his golden boy has done.
Dr. Todd..Can you do a session about ultra religious groups and the suppression of children’s sexuality? Being raised in an environment that denies that we are sexual beings and shamed for having these feelings is extremely damaging to a child’s psyche. It’s no surprise that Duggar has inappropriate sexual desires, and he shares this issue with numerous religious “men of God “throughout the world. I will take a giant leap here and state from my observation of the Duggar family...Josh’s malformed thinking is the result of being raised in this rigid family system that looks at sex as a sinful act .
Very educational this session. Thankyou Doc. Thought provoking.
