In one of the reports, it stated that James is the one who came forward and told JB and Michele. Is James Jana's twin? IF not, where does he fall in line in the order of the kids?

I am waiting to hear from TLC. Fuck everyone associated with these hypocritical raging assholes, including the fans who defend them. This is vile. Those poor girls.
I understood that if I continued down this wrong road that I would end up ruining my life
Wow, Josh, good for you! So glad you didn't ruin YOUR life! You are, after all, the one that matters, here.
I wonder if they didn't mention the girls at all because they honestly didn't think about it or if the girls requested that they be kept out of it and they are being "protected." The request to destroy documents makes me think that the girls want no part of this and they want to remain as anonymous as they possibly can.
That being said, it is unbelievable that they weren't mentioned AT ALL. Did People not ask any questions? This is not an interview. It's a press release.
Well, judging by the comments on the TLC webpage, their fans don't think it's a big deal anyway.
"He was a teenager. Didn't you make mistakes as a teenager?"
Puke.
see its this shit that pisses me off the most. There are so many girls that have been abused and read that shit and think maybe everyone thinks that way and they should "just get over it". Ugh
I bet these are the same exact people arguing teenagers like Treyvon and Michael Brown were criminals who deserved to be shot. Hulk smash.
I'm not defending him. A 14 year old knows what he is doing. He has irreparably altered his sister's lives and minds.
I guess I'm just wondering what the public outcry will accomplish outside of forcing his sisters to live it all over again. He can't be prosecuted for it now.
What he did was horrible, but he was a minor. I'm stuck on the whole minor criminal records being separated from adult criminal records thing.
I feel so bad for his sisters too. This can never be undone and now they get to be humiliated all over again.
That family is rolling in money. I don't feel bad for any of them. His wife knew about it and married him and procreated. Lots of young girls to tempt her husband.
And maybe families with a child molester shouldn't make a living telling gay people and transsexuals that they are perverts who are going to hell.

The show can be cancelled. They can be exposed for the hypocrites that they are. They may have less power to lecture me on family values. I hope to never hear from them ever again.
Well, I suppose if he had been prosecuted for these crimes, his juvenile record would have been sealed. Can't say I'm mad about him losing his job though. I feel more sympathy for his victims.
Hmmm. So all the Josh/fundie defenders (not that there are any here, but on the other sites) who say that he was a teenager and everyone did dumb things when they were teenagers....would these people feel the same if a 14/15/16/ year old had an abortion? Or is it just the violation of young girls that's OK at that age?
So Josh got some sort of couseling...what about the girls? The People article only talks about Josh, what about the girls who were betrayed by their own family member?
I've been in those girl's shoes involving a cousin of mine and therapy was the only thing that helped me work out a lot of my issues involving trust and feeling like I was somehow responsible for driving our families apart.

I don't understand not feeling sorry for any of them. Yes, the girls have money now, but they're still living with the fact they were victimized by both their brother and their parents.
Yes. And now it's public. This must be incredibly difficult for those girls. They never asked for this.

Why is it necessary to perpetuate the thought that being public, they must feel shame? THEY didn't do anything wrong. Maybe it's possible that they feel relief. They don't have to hold this bullshit secret in anymore. That maybe they aren't seen as the wrong-doers anymore. Ugh, I am not putting that into words very well. I just hate that they are terminally victimized & repressed, and that they need to just stay that way. Ugh.

I would hope that they wouldn't feel any shame, but that doesn't mean this is automatically easy for them.
I hope they do feel some sense of relief, but I doubt they would be asking for documents to be destroyed if they felt completely free.
eta: And, of course, one may feel relief and another may not. Honestly, the more I think about it, everyone in their lives more or less already knew. They are so sheltered.

I have NO idea what you're trying to say here. Who are they?
