Jana Duggar, the sister of former reality television star Josh Duggar who was recently convicted in a separate criminal case, has been charged with a misdemeanor count of endangering the welfare of a child, Arkansas court records showed Friday.

Jana Duggar, 31, pleaded not guilty through an attorney on Sept. 23, the court docket shows. The alleged violation happened Sept. 9, it states. A trial by judge is scheduled for Jan. 10.

The attorney listed on the docket as Jana Duggar's counsel did not immediately respond to a request for comment, nor did an associate. Representatives for the Duggar family did not immediately respond, either.

Details of the case were sealed.

In a 2016 opinion that predates the allegation, Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge said details of a "child maltreatment investigation" can be withheld from the public in the interest of protecting the minor involved.

That family ain't right but considering their fakeness over their religion explains a lot.

3. Doesn't seem to be.

Sounds more like one of the younger kids was seen wandering near a busy street. One presumably she was watching.

4. So weird.

It's almost as if having 20 kids and raising them in a weird, home schooled religious cult is not good for anyone.

5. This is the oldest sister that has remained single while all of her siblings marry

and she is made to babysit for the nieces and nephews while her siblings and their spouses go out and have fun .

6. Yep, I fell bad for her.

Being the oldest girl, she was babysitting her siblings and now children of those siblings.

grow some backbone, tell her parents to f*** off, and leave home. Enough already for that poor girl. Free Jana!
