6. The show isn't axed yet. They are still in the evaluation process.

The Duggars are trying to represent the situation as one where Jim Bob took responsibility and brought his son to the police. He actually brought his son to a state trooper friend of his--now in jail for possessing child pornography--and got the matter swept under the rug. And it is not clear that even that happened until Josh molested a non-family member.

I hope that TLC cancels the show. My guess is that at the bare minimum they will not allow Josh back on it, and they will edit out any references to him. Or even any appearances by him when he is in the house. So we will never see him or hear about him again.

But Jim Bob and Michelle are culpable here and I hope that TLC--and the show's fans--are capable of processing that.
