After Josh Duggar admitted to his parents Jim Bob and Michelle that he had fondled multiple minor females in his home, his parents say they were swift to move into action, and get him treatment. Only RadarOnline.com can reveal the faith-based center, founded by a controversial figure.
Radar has identified the facility as the Insitute in Basic Life Principles Training Center in Little Rock, founded by Bill Gothard. Gothard was previously accused of sexually grooming and inappropriately touching young women in his ministry, and while he was later cleared of any wrongdoing, he resigned amid the scandal.
Today, the centers claim to strengthen individuals and families through sound Biblical teaching and character development opportunities and to demonstrate Christs love through serving, according to a church website.

Horniness in teen years is normal, and there are outlets, if one is not kept in a box. But this kid apparently was.
I don't hate him, I pity him.
The rest of us knew kids from other families and what went on went on, no incest involved.

(13,877 posts)held responsible...they failed in every way. They were the adults. They started this whole mess...and likely in some deep dark place, some adults failed them way back when. That's why professionals do not like to get involved in this incest business...it's usually been passed down for generations...it is The Ultimate Secret for which there is almost no cure.
But always the first step is having it come out in the daylight. Sometimes that breaks the chain...hopefully for the children in all of the families, that will be true this time.
