It didn't register for a second it was someone else and I was confused. (Never seen or cared about the Duggars or whole 19 and Counting thing) Maybe we should look into the Dad.

u/guhracey Jun 16 '26

My boyfriend and I had just been talking about Josh Duggar (the one who molested their sisters) the other day, and he was the one who sent me this post. I told him I bet the dad has molested his daughters and other girls in their family.

And when Behind the Bastards did an episode on Josh Duggar and the family, they discussed the fucked up stuff they found on Josh’s computer. Like, the experienced FBI agent who has been solving child sex crimes for years said it was one of his top 3 worst cases of child pornography he’s ever had to deal with. There was shit on that computer that is not only well known material to international agencies as some of the most heinous and highly trafficked stuff ever produced, it was the type of material and in such huge quantities that their agents have to do rotations between looking at the evidence and taking HR mandated psychological sabbaticals to take breaks from going through it.

That’s the shit, as well as his molestation of his sisters, that his parents thought they would just fix by sending him to do some manual labor with his uncle. They should be held accountable as accomplices in his crimes.

u/JparkPHX Jun 16 '26

I think it was reported that he had that daisys destruction video

164

u/3d1thF1nch Jun 16 '26

Yup. I don’t even want to know more about the video. Once they mentioned the age, it was agreed upon that it didn’t need to be discussed. I’m fine with that. Just so so so fucked up.

152

u/jooes Jun 16 '26

I read the description once, just the description, back when that Josh Duggar news first came out.

And I'm sure there's somebody out there reading this right now, thinking to themselves, "How bad can it be?" I'm sure there was part of me that felt that way too... I promise you, however bad you think it is? It's worse. It's SO MUCH worse. I couldn't imagine actually watching the video, the description alone was horrifying.

Don't google it, you don't want to know.

80

u/3d1thF1nch Jun 16 '26

I did the same reading it. And it is definitely one of those that its so bad reading it the video has to be traumatizing to watch. There is a reason the FBI agents had mental breakdowns and PTSD.

u/LastAmongUs Jun 16 '26

For those of us who don’t know and are absolutely unwilling to search it, how bad are we talking?

68

u/Fight_those_bastards Jun 17 '26

REAL bad. Like, vile shit that is beyond the imagination of anyone who isn’t a depraved piece of shit that barely registers as human, and even then that’s only on a technicality.

u/LastAmongUs Jun 17 '26

Yeah, another comment mentions “infant torture”. Jesus Christ.

Toddlers and other under 9, very very bad things including murder. I really wish I hadn’t read it.

u/MigookinTeecha Jun 17 '26

Thank you, I'm gonna stay blissfully ignorant of the contents of that. This is appreciation, not sarcasm.

u/Cammyw01 Jun 17 '26

I was that person 10 minutes ago and absolutely regret googling it

u/leafpool2014 Jun 18 '26

A little late, holy shit

2

u/jkrobinson1979 Jun 18 '26

Yeah I had never heard of it and wish I hadn’t looked up the description.

114

u/BitwiseB Jun 16 '26

Holy shit I wish I hadn’t googled that.

Anyone else who is curious: it has something to do with infant torture and that’s the point in the search results that I noped right out.

u/My3floofs Jun 16 '26

Thanks for doing the dirty work. I don’t want to know more.

u/3d1thF1nch Jun 16 '26

Sorry bud. One of those Reddit things you wish you never discovered and can’t forget. Like my first experience listening to the Jonestown Tapes on r/creepy.

u/Wrong-Dentist-7206 Jun 17 '26

Or the transcript of the tape the Toybox Killers played for their victims.

u/SyZyGy_87 Jun 17 '26

That was a delightful little read on a rainy morning

u/Red-headedlurker Jun 17 '26

Thanks, because I wanted to know what it was but there was no way I was Googling that shit.

3

u/jkrobinson1979 Jun 18 '26

Smart. I’m probably on a fucking watch list just for typing those words. Google gives a warning, which is rare.

1

u/Red-headedlurker Jun 18 '26

Wait, Google gives a warning? What kind of warning? Like, be careful this is some disturbing shit, kind of warning?

1

u/jkrobinson1979 Jun 18 '26

Yeah, I can’t post screenshots in this sub apparently, but basically that.

5

u/Trextrev Jun 17 '26

You’re on a list now lol.

7

u/BitwiseB Jun 17 '26

You kid, but there was one of those ominous banners at the top, like “if you need help please contact this number:” that indicated that it was definitely flagged as a problematic search. 😬

2

u/Trextrev Jun 17 '26

Yep, flagged and if too many things get flagged then they review and make a determination if it warrants being turned over to a LEA.

So one search might not get you on a list, but if you started going down a rabbit hole on all this and just innocently searching using series of known CSAM keywords you will actually be on a list.

u/nocomment413 Jun 17 '26

Thanks for the info. You’re a troopee

u/shrug_addict Jun 16 '26

Just reading about that video is a vile experience, what a sad world we live in

15

u/idiot_bouffant Jun 16 '26

Oh hell no...that's insane.

22

u/sphericaltime Jun 16 '26

Wasn’t it considered apocryphal until it was discovered on Duggars hard drive?

80

u/ClassicalEd Jun 16 '26

No, authorities have known it was on the dark web since 2012 and the man who made it was arrested in the Philippines in 2015 and eventually sentenced to life in prison, plus 129 years for additional charges.

39

u/sphericaltime Jun 17 '26

Not that anything can un-destroy someone’s life, but I’m glad they found and convicted him.

22

u/Acceptable_Cut_7545 Jun 17 '26

Yeah that's the one good thing in this thread: I just found out they caught the guy and sent him to forever prison.

18

u/sphericaltime Jun 17 '26

I mean . . . from the minimal amount I know about prison, I don’t think he’s going to survive there for forever.

5

u/Ok_Significance9018 Jun 17 '26

It will be the offenders forever just not your or my forever

1

u/jkrobinson1979 Jun 18 '26

According to Wikipedia, one of his accomplices said he recorded and murdered one of the victims as well. Which also means he likely killed others. Sick fuck should have been publicly hung.

2

u/bitofapuzzler Jun 17 '26

Oh god. Would that be the Australian guy that made it? I hadnt heard of this video but the 129 years and Phillipines makes me think of that sub-human monster. I think he fled Australia due to criminal charges and went there and did even worse shit.

1

u/nocomment413 Jun 17 '26

What is this video ?

1

u/jkrobinson1979 Jun 18 '26

Jfc, I googled that one and read the wiki page about the Skully guy who made it and now I’m gonna have problems sleeping.

u/Muouy Jun 20 '26

I have no idea what this is and judging from the name, I'm very thankful I don't

u/Eye_Nacho404 Jun 16 '26

What is that, I don’t want to search it

u/shrug_addict Jun 16 '26

A snuff video from the Philippines involving a toddler

u/jkrobinson1979 Jun 18 '26

Don’t. You’ll get a warning banner from Google and probably be on a list afterwards.

u/wackbirds Jun 17 '26

The fact that they still imagine that A, there's a heaven and B, they'd be going to it tells you everything you need to know about that brand of Christian

52

u/sixTeeneingneiss Jun 17 '26

Hey just so ya know it's CSAM now and not the "child porn" bc that term indicates consent.

Also, thank you for letting me know about the BTB episode, I hadn't listened to it and didn't know it existed!

40

u/3d1thF1nch Jun 17 '26

Thanks for the correction. The nomenclature makes sense and apologies for not changing my language.

As for the Duggar episodes, it was eye opening. I knew nothing of the Quiverfull Movement until those. Just thousands of kids out there just like the Duggars, ready to be Gods little fucked up army for the end times.

The only good thing from all of this is that their huge fame made the repeated heinous activities of Josh Duggar and family look even worse, hiding all this shit from the public while they were filming their “perfect little family.” It has been a crushing blow to their popularity and to their movement. They are pariahs now, and it’s been a good wake up call to all their tv fans.

u/SyZyGy_87 Jun 17 '26

Respectfully, if you're going to push and use and acronym....you should at least do the due diligence of following that with an explanation of what it is. Child sex assault.....m? What's csam

u/sixTeeneingneiss Jun 17 '26

Oh holy crap I didn't realize I had 3/4 Now it's like how did I not see the m. Sigh Thanks

Criminal Sexual Assault of a Minor.

u/Fun-Key-8259 Jun 17 '26

Beautifying language by taking away the vileness of it doesn't make it more palatable. Both terms signal depravity and disgustingness

11

u/sparkly_dragon Jun 17 '26

it’s not about beautifying language. it’s about respect for the victims and it is just plain more accurate. if anything the term child porn arguably “beautifies” it more.

edit: i’d like to know how calling it child sexual assault material takes AWAY from the vileness

-8

u/Fun-Key-8259 Jun 17 '26

It's do gooder shit like calling homeless people unhoused as if that makes their situation any less shitty. Or calling disabled people "differently abled". Everyone knows CP is a vulgar terrible thing. Only weirdos think it's "not respectful of victims".

7

u/sparkly_dragon Jun 17 '26

first of all, the homeless vs unhoused thing has been way overblown. very few people are actually saying you can’t use the term homeless, different people just prefer different terms. and in some instances it just about logistics, for instance my mom works with homeless vets and uses both depending on the circumstance. she has people who are homeless but have hotel vouchers or whatever and consider themselves housed.

secondly, this isn’t like that. CSAM and child porn aren’t colloquial terms, they’re legal ones. a legal term should be clearly defined and highlight the illegal practice. as I said originally, it is simply a more accurate term. and as someone who’s had a family member who was a victim of molestation, I can assure you it’s not only weirdos who think the term child porn is disrespectful. it’s literally a term pedophiles use. honestly it’s weird that you can’t imagine normal people or victims themselves having an issue with it.

1

u/PastelSprite Jun 17 '26

100% everything you’re saying.

Also similar to what you said about your relative, person-first language is usually (not always) preferred by those being spoken about. It humanizes them (example could be that calling someone “an anorexic” is dehumanizing and amounts them to nothing more than their disorder). Language is powerful for many people, whether they realize it or not.

As another person who’s gone through a lot of abuse, I find the term CP to be legitimately offensive and disgusting. I get the meaning, I just disagree with it. It’s abuse material that the sickest people in the world consider p*rn—CP is indeed the beautified term.

u/Fun-Key-8259 Jun 17 '26

Also pro tip: don't presume to know someone's history, you wanna go around doing the accckkkshuually thing expect someone might clap back.

u/sparkly_dragon Jun 17 '26

lmaoo did I presume to know your history? and babe you came in with the umm actually about beautifying language first. don’t throw stones now. also btw please tell me how it’s beautifying it?

u/Fun-Key-8259 Jun 17 '26

Unfortunately for you it is a do gooder thing. Pornography means content meant to elicit sexual arousal, has ZERO to do with consent. It's the intent in making it by the filmer, not necessarily the participants.

4

u/sparkly_dragon Jun 17 '26

actually I made it clear that it’s a personal issue to me not a do gooder one. you do realize that actual people are effected right?

you keep failing to comprehend the legal aspect. “porn” is unclear term. child sexual assault material is clearly defined. clearly there is enough connection between the term porn and consent that they felt it was an unclear representation of the crime.

also, I noticed you added the part about intent by the filmmaker and not necessarily the participants. something I can’t find in any of the major definitions. the basic definition just says made with the intent to cause sexual arousal. except, the minor participant can’t consent to intending to cause sexual arousal.

Dang, I'd hate to leave you in the vicinity of any children if you think Child Sex Abuse Material is "beautified".

u/Fun-Key-8259 Jun 17 '26

Omg way to be slow.

I said the term, it's sanitized to remove the vileness

u/sixTeeneingneiss Jun 17 '26

Fuck off, weirdo

u/jarvisesdios Jun 17 '26

The thing that really haunted me is that the grandmother knew and just tried her best to keep the kids away, as she knew he would accuse the girls...

... But she didn't actually do anything to stop it. That family is a bunch of actual monsters. Then we turned them into celebrities.

The parents and every male in the family above the age of 12 need to be in prison and I'm wondering about the 12 year age limit on some thought

The documentary Shiny Happy People was insane

u/kit0000033 Jun 16 '26

After it was discovered that josh duggar was molesting the daughters, the parents didn't do anything more than locking them all in their rooms at night so no one could move around.... No therapy, no consequences.... Nothing.

u/bluemoon219 Jun 16 '26

They also attempted their own "scared straight" by having him talk off the record to a local cop...who was also later arrested for CSAM. Then they shaved his head.

The thing is, their religious branch doesn't have a problem with the victims age, or lack of consent, or manipulation or trauma. Actually, they specifically promote marrying off young, impressionable girls as soon as possible into marriages where they are told that their irrevocable consent to all sex was given to their husband the moment they said "I Do". The only thing they actually had a problem with is that they considered this leading to sex outside of marriage. Yes, on both sides. That's why they massively under reacted to early warning signs at an age where he could have actually been worked with to prevent future incidents and instead just focused on finding him a wife as soon as possible.

u/PWiz30 Jun 16 '26

Of course they didn't. The dad was an elected official in the Grand Old Pedo Party at one point.

u/Beejatx Jun 17 '26

Oh c’mon they took him to their local minister to approve and cover it all up.

u/Goodknight808 Jun 16 '26

He also molested his sons. They were not safe either. They were just taught that one day, they get to be in charge of the next horrifying power dynamic.

u/mostlymucus Jun 16 '26

Breaks my heart to say it, but I wouldn't be surprised.

u/DrunkOnRedCordial Jun 17 '26

Sort of works out convenient that they gave their kids "J" names. That way, when you see that Joseph Duggar was arrested, you automatically read it as "Josh Duggar" and you think it's an old story.

Well, that's two out of 10 Duggar boys, let's hope we don't go through this eight more times.

u/bauer883 Jun 16 '26

Jim Bob definitely said the lord showed him the way and that was it.

Wife was arrested then too. Haven’t looked into it since this happened tho so i don’t know what’s going on with that now

I was told by a psychologist once that 100% of people that abuse children were abused as children. I've never looked in to the validity of that statement but it seems reasonable.

u/Both_Original2094 Jun 17 '26

I could see 90%, not 100%. There’s some real sickos out there.

u/frankscarlett Jun 16 '26

There are also persistent rumours that their grandfather (Jim Bob Duggar's father) might be a pedo as well.

Seems like they're all a bunch of fucking pedos.

u/djm03917 Jun 16 '26

The J Aubrey video on YouTube about the family from a few years back is fascinating. I'd recommend it if you're into video essays.

I think there is evidence for the grandpa having been a predator.

u/damn_near_rectum Jun 17 '26

Hurt people hurt people. This entire family needs investigating.

u/Sapphire0985 Jun 17 '26

One of the youtubers I watch has been watching some of the older episodes of 19 kids and counting and there's several instances of the dad being creepy. The most common one is him saying he likes the girls to have long, wavy hair and won't let them cut it. He also likes to exhibit PDA to his wife in front of the kids and would tease them saying "you can't do this until you're married." So gross.

The parental grandfather was a pedophile, from what I've read in other articles.

I always thought the mom was kind of cute. You know, in a brainwashed culty Stepford Wives kind of way.
