Well I take the info from the parents and they told exactly what they did in an interview. Criticize on that which you will but I didn't read tabloid about it I watched the interview with the parentsWhere do you get your information that he never received professional counseling? You seem to spread rumors you hear instead of finding out facts.Do you have any link showing that when a 14 year old molests 4 sisters, some while sleeping, some while awake, he usually outgrows this behavior without any professional counseling? I'd like to see that bit of information.
"Myth:
"Juvenile sex offenders typically are victims of child sexual abuse and grow up to be adult sex offenders."
Fact:
Multiple factors, not just sexual victimization as a child, are associated with the development of sexually offending behavior in youth.
Myth:
"Most sex offenders reoffend."
Fact:
Reconviction data suggest that this is not the case. Further, reoffense rates vary among different types of sex offenders and are related to specific characteristics of the offender and the offense."
CSOM Publications
"In fact, research has demonstrated that juveniles who commit sexual offenses are more likely to recidivate in a nonsexual rather than a sexual manner....
A relatively small percentage of juveniles who commit a sexual offense will sexually reoffend as adults. The message for policymakers is that juveniles who commit sexual offenses are not the same as adult sexual offenders, and that all juveniles who commit a sexual offense do not go on to sexually offend later in life."
Chapter 3: Recidivism of Juveniles Who Commit Sexual Offenses | Sex Offender Management Assessment and Planning Initiative
How Often Do Juvenile Sex Offenders Reoffend?
Juvenile sex offenders appear to respond better to treatment and reoffend less frequently than adult sex offenders. Sexual reoffense rates for youth over several years are estimated at approximately 10%. In addition, if juvenile sex offenders reoffend, they are far more likely to engage in other types of delinquent behavior than to commit new sex crimes.

Josh never got any professional treatment.
Josh and his wife are committed to plopping out babies every chance they get, and are planning to have as many as Gawd will allow. Even after all the public humiliation of his juvenile perversions, having to resign from his job, losing the reality show (the bread and butter for the family) Josh has recently been busted for pornography and signing up on a web site to help married people cheat on their spouse, and the dummy used his real name.
So tell me, would you let him babysit your children...your grandchildren?

I'm curious as to why anyone would defend and support this guy?
You're not the only one who is ever so terribly concerned for this predator. A lot of RWs are as well as some Republicans, including Mike The Huckster Huckabee.
What about the little girls he molested? Where is the RW caring for them?
For that matter, where are the supposed "family values" nutters? Molesting little girls, porn addiction and cheating on your wife are the family values.
No one is defending this guy. No one is saying that what he did was acceptable. We are merely analyzing the situation to determine what the probable causes for his actions were. Whatever we determine those causes to be, it doesn't make it ok. Molestation, porn addiction, and cheating on your wife are not family values. They are examples of the destructive effects of force and repression. A basic Taoist principle states hat the more you try to force something to happen the less likely it is to happen in the manner you are hoping to achieve. This is a perfect example of that principle. By using extreme methods to repress sexual activities essentially by force, the family in effect created the very thing they were trying to avoid.
That doesn't mean what he did was ok. It's merely an observation of a specific situation wherein the effects of forceful and repressive action resulted in in opposite desired effect. It's a great lesson for everyone, no matter their political affiliation
