By now the "Duggar Scandal" is seemingly old news and yet everybody's still talking about it. Fifteen years ago, Josh Duggar molested four of his sisters and one friend. He allegedly confessed, his parents tried to deal with it in-house and eventually, when much time had passed, went to authorities.
Both Josh, now 27 and his wife, his parents and a couple of his sisters have made statements. He's apologized yet resigned from his position in D.C.
And yet, we're still reeling.
Did you know that 1 in 4 little girls and 1 in 6 little boys will be sexually assaulted by the time they are 18 and over 90% of them will be assaulted by someone they know. [Source: Erin's Law]
It seems we spend a decent amount of time preparing our children for life situations. Look both ways before you cross the street. Don't go with strangers. Run outside the house if there's a fire. Our schools even do lock down drills.
Yet, we don't talk about this.
I know because last week my son, who just completed third grade, overheard something on the news about the Duggar Scandal and had questions.
"Why would someone want to touch a little kids private parts?" he asked.
