Police said the girl reported that Duggar allegedly touched her inappropriately during a family vacation in Panama City Beach in 2020, when she was 9 years old.
prima facie evidence that the kids are being abused
I was in the talented and gifted program in 3rd/4th grades. I also ended up failing 4th grade.
The school board called my parents in for a meeting. They wanted my parents to sign custody of me over to the state until such time as the state released me, i.e. not even when I was 18, but whenever the state decided.
My parents said “Fuck no.”
Nearest private school was too far away to work, so I ended up being homeschooled.
It wasn’t great, I’ll give you that. But it worked well enough such that by the time we gave up on it, halfway through 10th grade, we tested me and I was in 2nd-3rd year college on all subjects except math, where I was at 11.5 grade level.
Then, when I was 30, I finally got my ADHD diagnosis.
Maybe I would have gotten that diagnosis sooner had my parents allowed me to be institutinalized, but I’m really fucking glad they didn’t.
Sure, a lot of people homeschooling their kids are religious nutjobs, but by NO FUCKING MEANS is it “prima facie evidence that the kids are being abused”.
