3. Apparently they don't see sex abuse

as any big deal, if they are so shocked audiences haven't forgiven them. And this begs the question, why on earth would they think they have the credentials to counsel sex abuse victims? I don't think they even qualify as parents since they didn't bother to help their own children when they were abused. If TLC is stupid enough to go along with this idiotic idea they should be fined by the FCC or be closed down, sex abuse counselors spend years going to school and in training, this is not a job for amateurs, nor should it be sensationalized in a reality show.
