If she’s actually living there, they obviously don’t think that’s a problem and that Josh could harm her. Well, given all the circumstances of the molestations -- that Josh was quite young at the time; that he'd been raised to believe he had dominion over all his younger sibs and would ultimately have dominion over females generally; that he had no outlets for normal teenager stuff, sexual or otherwise, and, like the others, was confined within that extremely intrusive and controlling family most of the time; that he did also act out with the non-family girl who was closer to his own age; that he'd been raised to believe he was very hot stuff and entitled to whatever he wanted; that as an adult he seems to have been drawn toward adult strippers, not teenagers; etc -- I think it's quite possible that he never actually had real pedophiliac tendencies in the first place. That he was acting out his boredom, sexual urges and curiosities, and sense of entitlement and overall pissiness with whoever was available, not with young girls because that was his interest. But.....even if all that were true, and of course it might not be -- .....in the 21st century, no 11-year-old should be sent somewhere to spend her time as a "helper" for some son-and-daughter-in-law of a middle-class-probably-even-low-level-millionaire family who are too stupid and selfish to stop having kids when the parents feel they can't adequately look after (and also homeschool for no reason) all those kids on a daily basis. So if that's indeed what happened -- that an 11-year-old is or was in that house as a "helper" -- then that alone would show an astonishingly poor level of judgment and lack of ethical compass on the part of all these people, including her parents, Anna and Josh, of course, and JB and M -- the parenting role models, in my opinion. It's what happens when you think of kids as just more bodies to throw on the pile that God apparently wants you to make. (although the girls have to get off the pile to cook and diaper at around age 7 or so). Which is to say -- maybe this 11-year-old helper scenario didn't happen and I hope it didn't -- but if it did, it wouldn't surprise me because of their incredibly stupid and thoughtless general attitude when it comes to children.

The Duggars, including Anna, have posted pictures all summer long - not one post included this young girl. Not one with any of the new grandbabies, on vacation, or at any birthday party. I don't think she lives anywhere, but at home with her parents (thank God). It appears an FBI raid didn't happen either. It would be front page news in the Arkansas area and all over the tabloids. I'm guessing the reliable sources got their info crossed or made all this up. There was a period of time within this past year or two that Anna made multiple references to a cousin, including photos. I always wondered who she was; I figured she came from Anna's family. But, still, that doesn't mean the girl lives/d with them. Maybe she did for the summer? ETA: I just found photos of her w/ the Duggars on Facebook in 2019: October, August & April - birthday parties and a Silver Dollar City trip, so all things that she could have attended without actually living w/ Duggars. In 2018, she's also in a few of Anna's Instagram posts, including Xmas and July. That's as far back as I've looked (I need to get to work!)

They sold the large cape cod they refurbished, correct? Was it disclosed where they moved to? I assume this was the house of the possible FBI raid? I'm with you all - hoping it has nothing to do with any of the kids but everything to do with the Duggar businesses incl Chief of Staff Jim Bob. 5 Link to comment

Well, a lot of rumors are pretty random when you come right down to it, I think....

And that list doesn't even include a lot of those "blind items" that could be taken to refer to Josh or JB or Derick or Jeremy or Josiah or whoever... Plus, the whole thing gets fueled too, I expect, by the fact that the Duggars have had people closely around them who have actually done sex crimes, some quite recently, like that supposed Jana-suitor (and, I think, purported close friend of Josh's, maybe?) who got nabbed for some kind of sex crime involving a teenager... And then the other early part of this rumor was financial issues -- and how-they-get-and-handle-their-money is another thread that runs through the Duggar lives -- both in a factual way and in a speculation way .....

Crystal Ball Katie agrees that there isn't enough concrete evidence to make the rumors credible. My feeling is that the rumors were inaccurate, not necessarily totally false. I still think something was going on, just not a raid by the FBI. Of course I have no way to confirm my suspicions, and this may remain an unsolved mystery. However, whether there was any truth to the rumor or not, people were extremely quick to believe the worst about Josh. The whole discussion about his child molesting ways and his smug, punch-able face roared to life again, possibly with even more venom than when that news first broke. Ma and Pa Duggar, along with idiot Anna, need to take note that despite their efforts to efforts to rehab his image and slowly integrate him into public life again, he is still a detested social pariah. If they were hoping people would forget, they were wrong. 28 Link to comment

I tend to think that Anna is living in willful ignorance about the person she is married to. She has to believe that Josh is cured. I do think she was clued into Josh's former sins before she married him. Not all the details, but enough to know that he had some sort of sexual sin in his past**, he has repented, and she has an important role as a Good Christian Woman(tm) to keep her husband on the straight and narrow--ie. her magical hoo-ha was going to keep him from seeking other outlets for his desires. For Anna to admit that Josh is still a sex pest, then she would have to admit defeat. She would have to admit that she is an abject failure because she was not joyfully available enough to keep Josh sated. No, in Anna's eyes, Josh is cured and is also a great husband and father. **to these fundies, that sin could be anything from touching your sleeping sister to banging one out while imagining a threesome with you, Captain American and Bucky ah, I mean two playboy bunnies. 9 Link to comment

3 is enough November 19, 2019 Share November 19, 2019 (edited) I was sick last week, and when I came back online and saw the activity on this topic I assumed that the baby had been born. Surprise! Once again, scandal breaks when Anna is close to the end of a pregnancy. Here's a thought: If you have to bring in a live in "helper" maybe you should stop having kids. Seriously though, what the hell is wrong with these people? It's 2019, not 1919. Even if Josh's past was squeaky clean, who brings in an 11-12 year old as live-in help? She a MINOR, FFS. Does Jim Bob really think the public has moved on? Just because he and Michelle have begun to worm their way back onto the show does not mean all is forgiven. Some people just never learn, I guess. ETA: My post was poorly worded. I doubt that Emily was actually LIVING with Josh and Anna, and I do think that JB, dumb as he is, would understand that would be a very bad idea. But I can see them taking this girl in to help her (much like Tyler), except that, she's you know, a girl, and Anna could use some help, so let's kill two birds with one stone. So she can live at the TTH, but go over to Anna's to help, because, again, she 's a girl, and what else could she possibly do with her time? That is a scenario I can envision. And it's possible she was just visiting for a couple of weeks but she still was put to work, because the Duggars are always looking out for themselves.

But if the child has never lived with J & A then the speculation could cause harm and that feels very unfair. Couldn't agree more @GeeGolly. Somehow in the space of one day it became fact that this little girl (I don't even think it's fair to use her name) lives with Josh and Anna and, further, the speculation was that she has been sexually abused. Given how upset everyone here was about Pickles outing the fifth victim, it seems unbelievable to me that this child has been openly discussed as being another potential (almost confirmed) victim complete with her name published. For crying out loud, she's been called a 'slave' and trafficking victim! From the information on this forum it would be incredibly easy to find everything about her given her name, age and family relation to the Duggars has been posted. This rumour originated from the DuggarSnark sub and spiralled very quickly despite there being no evidence beyond a Facebook secret group. While I don't care if Boob and Josh were speculated as being guilty of tax fraud or whatever, I do take issue with this girl being discussed as a sexual assault victim based on absolutely no evidence. Bloody hell, we don't even know if she lives there! As @Temperance said, she could just be in photos with them because she's a family friend, we don't know. I like snarking on the Duggars and this is in no way defending Josh & Anna. But this little girl now has hundreds of people reading about how she is a potential sexual assault and child trafficking victim, complete with all the identifying information you could need to find her without evidence. And that's not cool. Edited November 20, 2019 by ChocolateAddict 36 Link to comment

I tried to link it just before you did and couldn’t. So raid was different agency and might have actually been at JB and Michelle’s? And Jed doesn’t live there?
