Uproar as pastor’s wife and mother of 11 suggests child-molester Josh Duggar was simply ‘PLAYING DOCTOR’ as a teenager – and should be ‘left alone to live a good life’
A pastor’s wife and mother of eleven has sparked outrage online after suggesting that 19 Kids and Counting star Josh Duggar was simply ‘playing doctor’ when he molested young girls as they slept.
In a rant on a Quiverfull critic’s Facebook page, Carrie Hurd, the wife of Texas minister Patrick Hurd, also referred to Josh’s actions as ‘a little Christian misbehavior’ and said he should be ‘left alone’.
Using her husband’s account to address atheist Vyckie Garrison, she wrote: ‘When I was a kid, it was often called “playing doctor”, there were just as many girls initiating this kind of behavior as boys.
‘Most of those never went on to perp horrible things. The Duggars, who I have never watched – am not a fan, did it properly and the 14 year old boy should probably be left alone to live a good life.’
