That's a synonyme for forced marriage if there ever was one. If you're not allowed to date, it's pretty much excluding any choice in the matter and it creates a perfect biotope for all kinds of deviant sexual behavior.
That is a good point. It is worse than not letting them date. They are strongly encouraged from even having sexual thoughts about another person. That would be impossible as an adult, I can't imagine what that is like for a teenagers. Ironically, the Duggar mother was a cheerleader in school and dated before she met her husband.
The Duggars aren't quite as well known as the Duck Dynasty clan but I know a lot of people who think that they are wonderful.
This site links to the police report. Apparently, a note was sent to Oprah warning her that the family went on various tv shows to get free gifts and money. Jim Bob(the dad) knew about his son's problems for over a year before anything was done.
