The incident definitely happened in Tontitown. The kid in question was found wandering on a road adjacent to the TTH. It sounds like a passer-by alerted the authorities. The kid must have named Jana.

I saw the report. She pled not guilty. Bench hearing on the 10th.

Jason backed this statement in his stories. It seems like he has also washed his hands of Smuggar.

She was not arrested. She was just issued a citation. She has a bench hearing scheduled for the 10th of Jan. It wasn't a moving violation.

Yeah, it was bond. I mis-posted above.

TLC has scrubbed Counting On from their website. It's still available on their YouTube channel, though. For now, at any rate.

Plea deal? She paid a $430 fine.

Jinger (well Jeremy) has spoken. https://www.instagram.com/p/CXUUxBHvHEn/?utm_medium=copy_link

Now that TMZ has the Jana story, KJ is patting herself on the back for supposedly breaking the story. 😂

It's really hard to say since we see so little of her. But they do have her cooking, so I think they ascribe a certain level of maturity to her.

Well, Josie is 12 today. That's the age that they believe kids turn into adults who are self-sufficient (aside from their half-assed "schooling"). Jana did her job and got all the girls to that point. Maybe she will branch out even more or even move out.

I am not surprised that they gloss over the elephant in the room: the molestations.

Ben posted a generic statement. It's in his IG stories if someone more savvy than I can copy it.

No.

Poor Giddy. Joy is barely literate.

They dropped the score to 1390 during the height of the pandemic. It allowed the husband of a Real Housewife to finally pass the bar on his 3rd attempt.

If the kids start thinking for themselves, they're likely to leave the fold, like Jill. Some will stay. Jessa and Jed come to mind. Probably Jeer, as Daddy gifted him 3 planes.

One of the hardest.

Their statement was stronger than I remembered. But yeah, they played both sides of the fence.

Their initial statement after the arrest was of the "We hope justice is served" variety. Of course, that could cut both ways. They never outright condemned Smuggar. As for JinJer's relationships with Boobchelle, I don't think Boob likes Jeremy much, and I think it goes beyond their doctrinal differences. OTOH, Jinger seems closer to Meech than any of the other older girls.

As I noted in another thread, Derick's ties are also local, and he's very close to his mother and brother. I don't think they're going anywhere.

Depends on how many times Derick wants to take the bar. 😂 But I doubt they'll leave. His family is in the area, and they're close. eta Jed is definitely in support of Smuggar, but he never showed up at the trial. Definitely trying to distance himself. He has AMBITIONS!!! And they can't have the taint of Smuggar following him.

Boobchelle's statement was fundie word salad bullshit. No admission of Joshua's guilt. Not much of a plan for Anna, who was in the end railroaded into this disaster (her word from 2015).

Definitely Jill. I've also heard Austin isn't happy with Boob these days, so Joy could be the second.

I do wonder how the Dillards can help Anna. Boob has been slandering them for years, and Anna will remain dependent on him for the forseeable future.
