FL - Second Duggar Son Joseph Garrett Duggar, 31, Arrested for Crimes Against a Minor, 18 March 2026

IIRC there was one cameraman in particular who was there throughout the original run of the show, and possibly even when it became Counting On, too. I'd be very interested in a tell-all from him

It would be difficult for a person witnessing abuse and profiting from promoting a cult for years, and doing nothing about it, to write a book, and for the book to come off as helpful rather than a cash grab.

MOO

What was the timeline between when the victim's dad confronted him and the police call?

The father confronted Joe on March 17th, and went to police on the 18th. Tontitown LE contacted Bay County, and the latter issued the arrest warrant. Joe was taken into custody at 3:00 pm on the 18th. Very quick turnaround.

My god, this family...

they’re babies! Can you imagine the terror they must’ve felt to wake up at night locked in their rooms?

Knowing that an even worse horror beyond the door awaited them at the hands of their father. The mother is no prize either. Abuse must be rampant in their home. These people are sickos.

Locks only on the outside is something we frequently see in some of the most heinous child abuse crimes on here. The absolute audacity of this family to portray themselves as wholesome and above others and "godly" people is sickening.

Duggars talked openly about how they did this and didn't lose their weird fanbase back in the day. It's like the modest dress and baby voices are supposed to distract from the admitted abuse and neglect.

And if you say, “I love Jesus,” you can get away with anything. “He molested little girls? He loves Jesus, he isn’t a bad person, he just made a mistake. The little girls in their pink clothes temped him. They should’ve known better.”

So evil!
I wonder if they even had access to a bathroom, once locked in.

Could they get out in case of a fire?

Could they get out in case of a fire?

Or go to the bathroom? Let me guess, a bucket? "Bedpan". Like that normalizes anything.

 

[Stunned]

Could they get out in case of a fire?

What was their biblical "reason" for locking children in the bedrooms?
