re: #142 Dark_Falcon

It could be argued that they did not, at least as far as there is no evidence of Josh committing any further crimes after his parents confronted him about his misdeeds. It’s quite possible Jim Bob let him know if he ever did something like that again he’d end up in an unmarked grave. But that last is just speculation.

No way to know 100% that he would never do it again at the time. It’s fortunate that he did not seem to have did it again but you don’t get to cover up a crime because you think someone will never do it again. The fact of the matter is they acted improperly here and yes definitely threw their daughters to the wolf regardless of whether he committed the act again. Do you think those girls felt comfortable being in the same house as the person who abused them and knowing that Mom and Dad swept it under the rug and then presented your family as the “Good Christian family.”
