I hate to link to
In Touch magazine but since it’s the publication that filed the Freedom of Information Act request, it’s the one that has a link to the full report:

No one said there was more than one report. I simply noted that the first encounter with the police was incredibly flawed and that later (in the same report) Michelle denied that Josh had been sent to an actual counselor. I’ve read the report in its entirety. It would be fabulous if you’d pay close attention to what I write, as you’ve twice now assumed I wrote things that I didn’t write. (Please reread what you wrote. You said that the program was supposedly run out of an Old Veteran’s Hospital no “building” in the sentence. That’s why I bolded the word. You also said that Michelle said “in a later report.” Perhaps they were both typos on your part. If they were, please forgive me.
I’m definitely very sorry that these things happened to you. I don’t think I ever indicated that you were condoning molestation? That doesn’t, however, mean that you aren’t mistaken about the severity of what took place and what should have happened afterward.
I have only stated what was in the report. I don’t know what you may have read into the girls words. The one girl who was awake stated that when Josh Dugger took the blanket off her, she did not realized he had touched her breast. She thought he just took the blanket off of her. The other incident in the laundry the little girl said she had a hole in the seat of her jeans. She was wearing a skirt over the jeans. He touched the hole and told her she had a hole in the seat of her jeans right there. He should not have done that. The officer asked if he touched skin through the hole. At first she said yes, but then she said she didn’t really remember the incident. One of her siblings told her about it. I have wondered that possibly Josh may have been overly scrupulous, because of the no touching between the neck and knees policy that his parents had. Josh is the one who said that he did these things. The one girl did say he touched while she was sitting on the arm of his chair reading a book. The other children in the room didn’t see it. Her parents had previously told her that Josh had touched the other girls and if it happened to her she should tell them.
Other people are speculating that he did much worse than what the police report implies.I am simply offering another perspective. In all instances that I read about, the touch was brief and through the clothes All of these incidents were treated as forcible fondling. /
Wow, I can’t disagree enough. For all that Christians endure here in the US, atheists are the most hated cultural group. Americans would rather their children marry terrorists than atheists (really). (Please cite this study. I have never read that before. It sounds like it would be an interesting read. Or is this simply speculation on your part? This family is being singled out because it chose to speak out publicly about moral issues while simultaneously hiding this big fat secret. They didn’t try to hide it. They told their church. They told the man who ran the Christian Ministry that was over 200 miles from their home. They went to the state Trooper’s office and told him. The State trooper chose not to pursue it. They knew him because he did State Inspections at their dealership. Also, how do you separate their morality from their Christian beliefs? I think this would never had been leaked had they not been Christians. Woody Allen, who is lauded in the press, still makes movies and receives awards. Read his bio on Wikipedia. He was a father figure to the girl. He adopted her siblings, before he became involved and married her. The judge forbid him from seeing the other children. Yet he is held up as a Hollywood icon. No one is calling for his head on a platter.
Also, I would not be surprised if Josh has been abused as a minor.
