I find it unfathomable that he is out on bail and still has unlimited access to his kids, as long as his wife is present. I mean—I feel sort of bad for his wife, but if he’s known about these charges for so long, she had to have some knowledge as well, so it’s hard to see her as anything but complicit. I don’t think that she can be trusted as the only other adult present when he’s with his kids.
My other fear is that, with him out on bail, he is a suicide risk. If he were in jail, they could keep him alive until his trial, and they might be able to get information from him that could lead to finding other perpetrators. I’m no attorney or judge, but it seems mind-boggling to me that this guy was eligible for bond.

I hope he does.

It is unfathomable to me that he can now be with his children under Anna's supervision. I have gradually lost all sympathy for her through this. I cannot believe she is staying with him.

This was a fascinating recount of the bond hearing. She discuses the feds evidence, and how they did the investigation. It’s 2 hours, so likely not for everyone who isn’t a law nerd.

I don't think he's the type to try to kill himself. Too defended, unlikely to feel shame, too smug. I think he would kill the wife before he would kill himself honestly. And in a way, he has. He is a pos.

He seems to have the same smug above all rules personality as Epstein. Who would of that Epstein would kill himself?

He’s not a creep. He’s not smug.
He is evil. He’s a monster.

So how can it be acceptable to the judge that Josh may see his children, under the condition that Anna, the wife he literally controls and leads in his religion, is present?

Anna must be "joyfully available" whenever her husband wants sex: she can't refuse. Michelle blathers about this all the time.

So how can Anna possibly function as a safeguard for her children in Josh's presence?

It makes no sense.

I don't understand how anyone could allow Josh access to kids with only his wife supervising. She will do and say whatever her husband tells her to, she has to "keep sweet." I wonder if it would even occur to Anna that she might need to protect her kids from their dad.

Those poor kids.

Agreed. I just read some of the details of their case. OMG. He's slime.

He's clearly going to prison. What the heck is Anna going to do with seven kids? Although he probably wasn't much help anyway...

Her in-laws will likely step in. I'm not sure Anna can think for herself.

The same thing she did a month ago before this whole thing came to light, just with less sex.

Anna (and her sister in laws) have always done all the child raising in that family. I'm not sure Josh did much of anything other than sit around at a car lot not selling cars (and apparently downloading stuff)

Yeah, everything in their religion says when a man "stumbles" a woman needs to pray harder, submit more, forgive more. And, note that Bill Gothard (former head of ATI and IBLP the religious organization/business that is the source of many of their religious beliefs and practices, as well as their homeschool curricula) was accused of sexual assault and misconduct by a bunch of women, the Duggars did not publicly cut ties or speak out after that info was revealed.
