Arkansas police arrest Kendra Duggar on child abuse charges

Arkansas police arrest Kendra Duggar on child abuse charges

Arkansas police have arrested Kendra Duggar, the wife of reality TV personality Joseph Duggar, on misdemeanor child abuse charges, in the latest scandal to envelop the family featured on TLC’s 19 Kids and Counting.

Kendra Duggar faces four counts each of endangering the welfare of a minor and second-degree false imprisonment, according to the Washington county sheriff’s office in Arkansas. She has a hearing scheduled for Monday.

Kendra Duggar’s arrest came days after her husband, Joseph Duggar, was arrested on charges in Florida for lewd and lascivious behavior against a child under 12. He is accused of molesting a girl when she was nine years old during a family trip to Panama City Beach.

Ah those good ole conservative values of abusing and molesting children. This happens so often that conservatism should be listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.

I knew Quiverfull was dangerous when I first heard about it. It's not at all shocking, but it is horrifying.

According to MAGA 4 years old Liam is a bigger threat than this.

Honestly, a weirdly strict and controlling, performatively religious family having an incest secret isn’t at all surprising. That it took this many years to come out is probably the bigger surprise.

This arrest, the two pedo sons, and an adult daughter was arrested a few years ago for child neglect involving one of her brother's kids.

I used to do a Duggar paradigm where if every Duggar kid had 19 kids and they each had 19 kids and so on, but it got too scary too fast.

None of this surprises me, of course.

I'm waiting for Charlie Kirk to tumble off his pedestal and it can't happen fast enough for me.
