Normally I wouldn't say this about someone who endangered kids, but I really feel bad for Jana. It's so easy for us to say "just leave" but when you're so deep in it, it's hard to know what resources exist, let alone how to access them, let alone the enormous religious/cult pressure she's been brain-washed in.

Or her punishment is she can’t be alone with kids, which makes her nearly useless to her parents.


Honestly she'll just get probation probably. First offense. Wasn't deliberate. But it might scare her enough to get out of the Duggar household - especially with Josh's conviction and the all-but certainty Anna's relocation to the compound is permanent.


I don't think Anna has anywhere else to go. His trial probably racked up $200K in legal fees, she has no income, and they sold their house last year.

Oh dang. Yep that would do it. And also explain why the charges came the day after his was safely convicted.

Umm maybe maybe not. But if you have infants or toddlers running in a street with no adults around - its legally amissable to charge child abandonment and endangerment. That's why having 19 kids is a stupid idea. Let alone the next generation - I believe Jim Bob has 20 grandkids under 10. That's a lot of babysitting.


Maybe. But it doesn't happen unless there's more to the story. CPS and visits might be more common, if anything is done at all.


So you're saying the law enforcement was involved previously and this was deserved?

Maybe she will ask that her punishment be that she can't be alone with kids.

Agreed. And with good reason.

The Duggars were fundie royalty and involved in local and state politics — now that Josh has been convicted, it probably feels “safe” to go after that family at last. I guarantee there are 400 more stories like this.

+1 But I wouldn’t have to have it it for someone to report unsupervised kids running in the road.

No. They probably left her to visit Josh in jail as a group and having hours long meetings with his lawyers as they discuss an appeal and calm the man baby down after his first two nights in prison.

If she was the only adult on scene at the compound (and she has younger siblings from Jim Bob/Michelle in the 10-12 age range), then she is the one legally responsible.

It happened three months ago so way before the prison happened, but yeah. Either dealing with Josh’s shit or a campaign event, probably.


Josh hasn't been able to live with his kids since April.


DP. That's the point. Anna left the kids with Jim Bob/Michelle and Jana the whole time while Anna went off to live with him at his halfway house and 'save' her marriage. I bet she dumped the newborn off on Jana too, she certainly wasn't in court with her post-birth.
