Duggar Siblings: New Scandal, Jail Time

0:00On March 23rd, Jill and Kendra Dugger, parents of four young children, faced serious charges after a home search in Tantytown, Arkansas. On March 20th, both were hit with four counts of endangering the welfare of a child and four counts of false imprisonment. This came right after Joe's arrest two days earlier on March 18th for Lude and the Sivius molestation of a girl under 12 years old during a C, family trip to Florida in 2020. The search of their home turned up locks on the outside of the kid's bedroom doors, which raised major red flags with authorities. Their children, two boys and two girls born between 2018 and 2022 were immediately removed by child protective services. Joe confessed to touching the victim over her clothes during a phone call with her father and meeting his intentions were not pure. Officials say it happened while they sat on a couch under a blanket. Others charges stemmed directly from that home check, not from Joe's case, though it triggered the inspection since miners lived there.
