That's probably not something most parents want their child to have in their memory box. Granted, things like this are part of being a celeb, but I can still see how some parents may be apprehensive.
All parents/families are going to be on edge. DHS closes a case when their done, and done is by their defination. It concerns the welfare of the child, and if they find some other thing which could be a factor they can ask about that. There is a microscope over life. I've seen this with friends. Parents who aren't apprehensive are pretty innocent. But just the same the thing which guarentees that they assume there is something to find is denying access. I can see why the Duggers would have hesitated, but it would have been better to cooperate.

And if they find something has occured, the victums get real counseling and help, even a juvinel offender. Women who've been molested and it made a secret tend to carry that sense of something wrong into adulthood and it damages their view of themself. Young offenders may well go on and try again if they don't have that time to deal with it when they are young. Denying them this is doing a harm to the kids for it will hang on and come back to haunt them.

I sure do wish anything concerning the minor children in this family, as I would wish with any other family, quit being publicly broadcast. DHS/CPS investigations are supposed to be about the wellbeing of those children, there is no justification in advertising that they are being done.
