If you didn’t know it before, you know it now: You can’t trust the Duggars.
Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar finally spoke publicly about their son Josh’s molestation of four of their daughters when he was a teenager in an interview with Fox News journalist Megyn Kelly.
However, the heads of the 19 Kids and Counting family weren’t exactly candid in the interview, which was more like a PR exercise in damage control.
The couple tried to imply that Josh’s actions were the result of “bad choices” and youthful curiosity, and that his sisters were not at all damaged by them because they didn’t understand what he was doing. They said, that it was not a big deal, because they girls were asleep most of the time when it happened (and it mostly happened in their beds, except when it happened on the couch). Ye gads…
InTouch Weekly, which broke the story of Josh’s repeated molestation of five young girls when he was aged 14, has found that many of the couple’s statements were misleading – or flat-out lies.
Here are four of the untruths told by the Duggars, as documented by InTouch.
1. They cooperated fully with the police investigation.
They didn’t.
The couple said they “trusted” the Springdale police department, but the police report reveals that Jim Bob Duggar refused to produce his son to be interviewed.
Josh Duggar, now aged 27.
“Det. Hignite received a voice mail from Mr. Duggar stating that [redacted, Josh] had hired an attorney and will not be coming in for interview,” InTouch reports the file reads.

2. They had no legal obligation to report their son’s sexual abuse of their daughters.
Actually, they WERE obliged to tell the police that their son had abused their daughters.
Jim Bob Duggar told Megyn Kelly that as Josh’s parents, they were “not mandatory reporters, the law allows parents to do what they think is best for their child.”
