Ex-trooper: Duggars hid full extent of abuse

[RandySF]

A former Arkansas state trooper claims the Duggar family concealed the extent of their son's alleged fondling of underage girls when the patriarch of the family turned to him for help disciplining the teenager more than a decade ago, the tabloid In Touch reports.

The tabloid broke the original story that Josh Duggar, the eldest son of the Duggar family, from the TLC reality show "19 Kids and Counting," had allegedly molested girls when he was a teenager. It published a 2006 police report on the incident.

Duggar has since apologized for "acting inexcusably" as a teenager and has resigned as executive director of the Family Research Council's lobbying arm.

1. Wait....the father's name is "Jim Bob"?

2. Incompetent investigation is not an excuse.

Taking information at face value by a right winger hiding behind the veil of Christian values has become a common trick.

6. Yup.

His actual, printed-on-his-birth-certificate, legal name is James Robert Duggar.

3. I think there's going to be more & more coming out about them,,,,

and none of it is going to be acceptable (or perhaps even legal).

5. This is going to end with a very ugly revelation about Jim Bob

4. This is the same ex-trooper serving 50 plus years

for child pornography.

This whole thing is disgusting and vile beyond words.

8. Yeah, and . . .

He showed all the curiosity of a pro wrestling referee when confronted with the Duggar situation.
