I've known many parents who have done this. Yes, I see how it's a fire hazard for older children, but there are plenty of four year olds who still sleep in cribs. Aren't they fire hazards? If you've got an immature, impulsive crib-climber, then your safest option is to move them to a floor bed or toddler bed, baby-proof the room, and lock the door. Duh. I think I've even seen that suggested here on DCUM.
"False imprisonment of a child" should not mean locking your own very young children safely in their room at night. That's major government over reach. At MOST this should be a conversation with CPS, parenting classes, and some follow ups. Not an ARREST.
Yeah, it feels like massive government overreach to arrest her. He can rot in prison for the rest of his life, I don't give a shit.
The problem here is that the Duggars, including the wives, are insanely unpopular. The only Duggars with any fans are the older sisters who made a break and wear jeans/use birth control while still being religious zealots.
There is no evidence that this is what they arrested her for. It's just internet speculation. All that's actually been shared are the charges: 4 counts of endangering the welfare of a minor, 2nd degree and 4 counts false imprisonment, 2nd degree (these were the charges for both her and Joseph). I sincerely doubt Arkansas small town police are arresting people for turning their children's doorknobs around. This is unrelated to Joseph's FL charges.

I mean - I'm curious to see what she does before I cast judgment on her. Anna is a POS, but Kendra hasn't officially decided to stay yet.
And I do think it's insane to arrest someone for locking their toddler in a room. I wouldn't do it, but if it's done for their own safety (some kids are climbers) I don't think it's really "false imprisonment."
Her oldest is almost 8! That is not a toddler. And the next oldest are 6 1/2 and 5. You can’t lock an 8 year old in their room.
The kids are old enough to describe what happened. It could be that they needed to charge the mother with something so CPS could take the kids to interview them to find out if their father did anything to them or if the witnessed him doing anything to other children.

That’s what I was wondering. The crime took place on a vacation in Florida, so I wonder if the local authorities charged them with something basic so they could keep their investigation moving quickly (before the kids could be coached.)
I’m disappointed because it appears Kendra isn’t cooperating. They’re taught to distrust the government and only listen to their headship and church so it’s possible she’s only worried about the government taking her kids and not protecting her gross husband.

No we are not going to start a new thread. They are all related. Idiot.
The charges aren’t related. They said so. Two separate set of facts, one found simply because they had a search warrant. She has nothing to do with his charges of child sexual abuse. Idiot.
The topic is all related so we are including it in this same thread. We aren’t making a spectate Kendra Duggar thread. DUH
Would be separate
