Report: Arkansas Department of Human Services investigates Duggars
TONTITOWN, Ark., June 10 (UPI) — Nearly three weeks after Josh Duggar admitted he sexually molested his sisters, the reality television family is again being investigated by the Arkansas Department of Human Services, In Touch reported Wednesday.
The family was first questioned by the department in 2007 in relation to the family’s revelations about their eldest son. It’s unclear what the current investigation is regarding.
A representative from Washington County DHS called 911 on May 27, saying the Duggar family would not allow them to see a minor at their home in Tontitown, Ark., the magazine reported.
“We have an investigation and I guess they’re not being cooperative. We have to see the child to make sure the child is all right. So we just need police assistance,” the DHS employee said.
It’s unclear why DHS was concerned and which child was in question because such investigations are kept private.
In other Duggar news, moving trucks were spotted outside the Oxon Hill, Md., home of Josh and Anna Duggar on Tuesday. The two are reportedly moving back to Arkansas after Josh resigned from his position at the Family Research Council.
On May 21, Josh admitted he inappropriately touched five young girls — including his sisters Jill Dillard and Jessa Seewald — when he was 14.
“Twelve years ago, as a young teenager, I acted inexcusably for which I am extremely sorry and deeply regret. I hurt others, including my family and close friends,” the 27-year-old said.
