TLC Pulls '19 Kids and Counting' in Wake of Josh Duggar Molestation Admission

TLC has pulled 19 Kids and Counting from its schedule in the wake of star Josh Duggar's admission that he molested several underage girls 12 years ago, including his sisters.

TLC refused to comment on the incident Thursday, but the network sparked outrage later that evening when it ran a 19 Kids and Counting marathon. As of early Friday, the show had been scheduled to air on the morning of May 27, but it has since been taken off the schedule.

The show there about gun makers; the father raped both his daughter's, when they were both 12 years old. Once word got out, the show was canceled.
Cheer perfection, one of the mothers was sentenced to two, 10 year sentences, for having sexual relationship with a 13 year old boy.
Honey Boo Boo, was canceled. That was just last year.
Cake Boss, the brother-inlaw of Buddy was arrested for sexually assaulting a teen girl. He was off the show before the news became public.
TLC hasn't said that the Duggars show has been canceled. They seem reluctant to do so.
Note: in their religion, the young girl and not the molester is blamed for rape/molestation.
