In light of what previously took place in the '19 Kids and Counting' stars, the Duggar family which involved the eldest son Josh Duggar in a child abuse scandal back when he was a minor, TLC, after cancelling the hit show recently announced to be doing a special documentary on Child abuse in cooperation with the Duggar family.

Apparently, despite the dark and negative attention that the scandal brought, the network still found an opportunity to make something good out of it and even asking the family to join them in their latest undertaking to bring awareness to the silent epidemic.

"In light of recent events around 19 Kids and Counting-and in an effort to promote education, raise awareness and advance the conversation on this important matter-TLC has partnered with two of the nation's leading abuse prevention organizations, RAINN and Darkness to Light, on a new documentary addressing the issue," the network said in a statement.

The special documentary which is one hour in length will be premiered in August 30 at 10 pm. The documentary is said to tackle about what child abuse is all about and even information on how others who are experiencing it can get help.

And so even after the cancellation of the hit '19 Kids and Counting' show previously announcing "After thoughtful consideration, TLC and the Duggar family have decided to not move forward with 19 Kids and Counting," TLC said in a statement in July. The network will however cooperate with the family once again for the awareness of this serious issue. "The show will no longer appear on the air. The recent attention around the Duggars has sparked a critical and important conversation about child protection."

The network further explains how the documentary will play out. "In the first phase of this initiative, TLC will work closely with both groups and with the Duggar family on a one-hour documentary that will include Jill and Jessa and other survivors and families that have been affected by abuse," TLC said last month.

"The true prevalence of child sexual abuse is difficult to calculate, as most victims do not disclose their experiences. It's a silent epidemic, where open and honest discussion about its effect on the estimated 42 million survivors in America today is rarely heard," the network explains.
