Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar spank their children with rods? Are Jana and Ginger victims of violent disciplining?
After the shocking revelation about the sexual molestation case against Josh Duggar, more dirty secrets from the Duggar family closet are surfacing on the internet.
According to a report by Radar Online, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar used to spank their children with a rod in order to discipline them.
Taylor "asked what they used to spank," and the victim said: "they have a rod."
The child then told the investigator that the parents "do this to all the kids" but when asked "if they leave any bruising," the child replied: "No," a Radar Online report reads.
According to the website, a minor victim of sexual abuse told 'Investigator Taylor' that the parents would spank them without leaving any bruise marks. The gossip website, however, did not mention the full name of their source 'Investigator Taylor'.
The 27-year-old Duggar son Josh, had reportedly molested five underage girls, including some of his own sisters, when he was around 14 years old.
Jana is the oldest of the Duggar daughters and fans of the 25-year-old reality star speculate that she might be one of the victims of the eldest son of the Duggar family.
After news broke, the 19 Kids And Counting star accepted the shocking molestation allegations and released a statement saying "I acted inexcusably for which I am extremely sorry and deeply regret."
"I hurt others, including my family and close friends, I confessed this to my parents who took several steps to help me address the situation," he continued.
TLC has pulled the top-rated reality show off air after the serious child abuse allegations surfaced. However, the controversial network is yet to cancel the series completely.
The future of the family reality show appears bleak as four major advertisers have already pulled sponsorship amidst the Josh Duggar sexual abuse allegations.
Parents of the 19 children, Jim Bob and Michelle, meanwhile, are at the receiving end of fans' fury as they are accused of being hypocrites.
In 2002, the 49-year-old Duggar patriarch and a Republican candidate for the US Senate, had been talking tough against rape and incest and advocated capital punishment for such heinous crimes, Gawker reported.
