The Learning Channel (TLC) might have cancelled the Duggar family's show "19 Kids and Counting" in light of Josh Duggar's child molestation raps, but that does not mean all of the Duggars are off the air for good.
The network has teamed up with the Duggars to create a documentary about child abuse, and it will feature two of Josh's victims—his sisters Jill Dillard and Jessa Seewald.
"TLC has been especially concerned for the victims in this situation, including the Duggar family, and it is our hope that this effort will help those in need learn where to turn for information and help," the network wrote in a statement on their website.
They will also be working with child-abuse prevention organisations such as Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network (RAINN) and Darkness to Light. RAINN has been in existence for over a decade already, and has been able to help over 1.5 million people through its hotline. Darkness to Light, on the other hand, seeks to empower people through education to eliminate sexual abuse.
RAINN has revealed that one out of three child abuse victims is attacked by family members, while 44 percent of sexual abuse victims are 18 years and younger.
However, Jessa said accusations of Josh being a child molester are "so overboard and a lie."
The Duggar family is really looking forward to work on the TLC documentary and is thankful to God for blessing every member with so many opportunities.
"God's faithfulness and goodness to us, along with His abundant grace, have given us strength and joy even in the most difficult days. We have committed to Him that in all things—difficulties or success, good times or bad—we will purpose to bring Him honour by staying true to our faith and our family," the family wrote on its blog. "We look forward to working with TLC on this upcoming special documentary and hope that it is an encouragement to many. We know Who holds the future and are confident that He will work all things together for good," the Duggar family said.
