Jessa told Kelly that the molestation was not a secret. “All the people in our lives, the close friends, the officials that helped us, they knew about this,” she explained.

Jim Bob and Michelle withdrew from a major event following reports that the family refused to cooperate with safety

The Duggar child molestation scandal took yet another new twist Friday when Springdale, Arkansas, Police Chief Kathy O’Kelley was reported to have said that Jim-Bob Duggar slandered her in the Duggars’ ratings-grabbing Fox News interview on June 3.

“What happened to the Duggar family was a whole lot worse than what we were doing”

Can you summarize, please?

“Well, we’re Washington County DHS office and we’re out here to, uh, we have an investigation,” the voice on the recording tells a 911 dispatcher. “I guess they’re not being cooperative, and we have to see the child to make sure the child is all right. So we just need police assistance or escort.”

Fans of the new father questioned his leaving the company, writing: “Why did you resign from Walmart? Are you going to Nepal for mission work?” on his Instagram page.

The call was supposedly just days after a May 19 report by In Touch revealed Josh Duggar had sexually abused five females – including four sisters -- when he was 14 or 15 back in 2002 and 2003. Josh Duggar, his parents, and two of his sisters—Jessa Seewald and Jill Dillard—have since spoken openly about the abuse.

Unlike the highly orchestrated Jenner story, the revelations about Duggar came from actual journalistic digging. And it came from a somewhat unlikely source: InTouch Weekly, a magazine and Web site not known as a giant of investigative journalism, even within the Kardashian-centric universe it inhabits.

Utilizing the Freedom of Information Act for its transparency intent, In Touch obtained the second of two police reports on Josh Duggars reprehensible incestuous acts, allegedly committed when he was 14 and 15 years of age. Four (out of five at the time) of his sisters were targets as well as one young babysitter who was sleeping over.

Finding cause to celebrate! It's been a tough time for the Duggar family, but on Saturday, June 6, Jill Duggar took time to share a happy milestone via Instagram.

The double standard in the media — especially when Hollywood and the glitterati are concerned — is really quite remarkable.

Dillard and Seewald were adamant that they were unaware of what their brother had done to them until he confessed to their parents, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, prompting their parents to speak to them about their brother’s behavior.

We should use this story to bring these kinds of issues to light with empathy and belief of the victim, not to circle the wagons and fight what brought the Duggar sexual abuse scandal to light in the first place.
