How widespread is what happened in the Duggar home?

Important to look for things written before the Duggar story broke or everything's going to be about or inspired by it. This is from Oct. 2014 last time it was updated.

When Homeschool Leaders Looked Away The Old Schoolhouse Cover-Up Homeschoolers Anonymous

"American Christianity is actively facing a sexual abuse crisis. This crisis is more than just the evangelical community’s time to face their failings and follow in the steps of the Catholic church. It is a crisis of power and of children’s rights. It is a story about protecting abusers in order to preserve existing power structures in evangelical communities. Sexual abuse in Christian homeschool communities continues to be uncovered as leaders and organizations like Bill Gothard, Doug Phillips, C.J. Mahaney, Bob Jones University, and Patrick Henry College have faced heat for either their own sexual abuse of those under their spiritual authority (Gothard, Phillips), or protecting sexual predators in their communities (Mahaney, BJU, PHC). Each of these names is closely linked to the Christian homeschool community. What began as a trickle of stories about abuse is quickly becoming a flood."

So I'm beginning to wonder if this was soemthing that 'just happened' or something that happened due to the homeschooling curiculum itself. Something that makes such occurences mroe likely in other words.

According to Jim Bob Duggar, its very common among his friends in that weird cult. And he said most were "a lot worse".

I posted links to statements by women who had escaped that cult and others. Across the board, they said women and children were mistreated and sexually abused.

Sadly, the women and children cannot depend on rabid RWs for help.

There is a reason why the fundies want their women to be subservient to them.

That way they can abuse both their women and their children and no one will find out.

Public schools have this habit of teaching kids that it is wrong for an adult to touch them in the wrong places.

Education gives women options.

So yes, the animosity towards public schools is a means that abusers use to control their victims.

Bible's a great tool if wanting to molest your children.

"Lot's daughters both commited incest with their father having his babies."

then bring up

"And a rebellious child may be brought tot he gates of the city and stoned to death by their parents."

Paints a picture don't it.
