Should 19 and Counting be canceled?

Hey Guys! I haven't written on any current events recently. But I am going to write about what I think about the recent "celebrity" news about the Duggars. I am sure you all have heard about it. For  a brief synopsis http://www.cnn.com/2015/05/21/us/josh-duggar-child-molestation-allegations/?iid=ob_article_topstories_pool&iref=obnetwork
I usually don't write about celebrity news, but this is or maybe was one of my favorite shows.
First of all I really don't think the entire show should be canceled for the actions of one person. It would not be fair to the victims of the crime to me. I think most people have solely been looking at Josh. He is not the only one on the show and not the only one involved. So I think they should simply take Josh off the show instead of canceling the entire thing. What he did was wrong and he knows that. He still needs consequences. I am sure he would never do something like that again..
It seems that people bypassed the feelings and thoughts of his sisters. I just wonder if they canceled it how would it affect them. As I have read victims of abuse tend to blame themselves for it. They also tend to have lower self-esteem. No articles have stated which sisters were abuse by their eldest brother.

They obviously did not want this to define them, because they would've written in their book. When the media blew this up they did not do so thinking about the victims and their feelings and if this would be bring back bad memories. Now, that we know about it. We can see how strong and forgiving they are. They forgave their brother even though it was tough. I think this whole trial they went through gave them the ability to love more. Instead of growing up to be bitter and hateful women they grew up to be strong, loving, and forgiving. We could all ask ourselves if we were abused would we be willing to forgive?
