They judged others. I'm judging them. They were wrong in the way they handled this situation. They were also wrong in the way they lied to the world about how perfect they were, how they had all the answers and how Godly they were.
The Duggars most certainly are different my family and many of the ones I know. We don't go around judging non-Christians, homosexuals or other Christians.
Do you honestly not see the hypocrisy of this post?

Who's parents turned to two men for 'assistance'; one of who is in jail right now for child pornography and another that has had sexual allegations made against him.
I don't know about the other one but that one cop who is in jail for several years for child pornography is certainly weird... and disturbing that the father chose this guy to lecture his son.

Where do they grow these people?!
Well her tweets didn't last long because the show is cancelled.
I think it's too bad the show is canceled. I think they should cover real life and the fall out of this.
I do not rejoice in any of this. But I do feel glad truths about the lifestyle is coming out. And I pray and hope that some of these girls can break free and recover.

What lifestyle? Families of all lifestyles have people that do bad things. As far as we know these girls don't want to break free and they may be fully recovered.

Agree, the girls for the most part seem to be content with the "lifestyle", we have no idea of their emotional state.
You are kidding yourself. It is very common. What? You think women you know are just going to say, over coffee, "Oh you know my brother used to get up on me when we were kids." Uh, no! Can you imagine the shame?! Just look at the reactions here. You are delusional if you think you don't know anyone. You just don't know anyone who has ADMITTED it out loud to you.
As a teacher of middle school I learned it is much more common than most people think - and vastly underreported. Most of the time when parents become aware of it they do not report it to authorities.

The prevalence of sibling sexual abuse in American society is not well documented. Researchers estimate that the rate of sibling incest may be five times the rate of parent-child sexual abuse (Finkelhor, 1980). These rates are based on reported incidence, and incest is known to be underreported. Sibling sexual abuse has been dismissed as “child’s play” in many cases and/or as a normal aspect of sexual development. More recent research has documented the traumatic, long-lasting, and damaging effects of sibling incest (Carlson, Maciol, & Schneider, 2006; Weihe, 1997). When sexual acts are initiated by one sibling without the other’s consent, sibling incest is, most often, a serious and secret problem.
Numerous factors converge to assure that in many instances—perhaps most—sibling sexual abuse remains undisclosed and unaddressed. Victims often do not see themselves as victimized, and families as well as professionals fail to recognize the abuse. The secret remains hidden, camouflaged by play and tangled in the complex dynamics of abusive sibling relationships. Incestuous behaviors are too often invisible in stressed, chaotic families. Additionally, professionals who fail to recognize indicators and opportunities to foster victim disclosure may overlook the presence of sibling incest.

Incidence of sibling or cousin sexual abuse varies greatly among studies, ranging from 10% to 40% among those reporting sexual abuse, although sibling and cousin sexual abuse are about equal in such samples. Typically, the abuse begins when the victim is around six to seven years of age.

Well if I see that I am going to get cozy with the "unfriend" and "block" buttons
Just block. It unfriends them automatically.
