I knew something was deeply wrong with this family

First kid is serving a 12.5-year federal prison sentence (convicted 2021, sentenced 2022) for possessing and receiving child sexual abuse material. In March 2026, his brother Joseph Duggar was arrested for child molestation in Florida, and both Joseph and his wife, Kendra Duggar, were arrested in Arkansas on charges of child endangerment and false imprisonment.

Josh also molested four of his sisters repeatedly, as well as their babysitter.

Weirdly enough, Oprah was the one who reported it to the police after receiving a tip from a viewer. The family was actually scheduled to appear on her show, but once she got the tip about Josh molesting his sisters, she went straight to the authorities.

Josh didn’t even get a slap on the wrist. They claimed he confessed to them right after molesting them while they were sleeping, which honestly feels like it was said to make him look more honest. Then they took him to a pastor, who, it later turned out, also had sexual abuse allegations, and then they sent him to some kind of Christian construction camp. But he kept living at home, and the girls were forced to forgive him and go on national TV to retell the story in an attempt to save the show from getting cancelled because their dad is so much hungry. Their dad was right beside them off camera.

It started with the father.

I know a quiverfull family. At least one of the boys molested his younger brothers and maybe sisters while they were kids. And a different one was divorced because his wife caught him sexting his adult sister. 

I never really liked them, and since they were Trump supporters I really have no interest in keeping up with them and yet somehow information about them still slips through

When you always hated a group of people for ruining television and they retroactively make all the hate you gave them justified

The victim to predator pipeline is such a sad reality. I wish there was a disruption in there, anywhere. Just so frustrating and sad and maddening.

My mother actually said this: “But they’re a good Christian family! The media is just spreading lies from Satan to try and bring them down.”

My own mother said that. For fuck’s sake!

Yeah, I haven’t been back for Thanksgiving since the first Trump administration.

And the fact that they put all the girls and boys in 1 big bedroom, despite the different ages of toddler to teenager is bizarre. At least they could have made an extra bedrooms for the older siblings and have at least one shared bathroom and the other bathroom.

Oh hell no this is Strange Houses by Uketsu but way worse

It's not just the Duggar family. This whole sect of huge religious families like the Duggar should all be investigated.

Jim bob duggar is a blight upon this earth
