As we discussed yesterday, In Touch Weekly’s latest exclusive cover story is about the Duggars. You know how Jim-Bob, Michelle, Jessa and Jill were all sticking to that talking point that everything that Josh Duggar did was in the past and the family was fully cooperative with investigators (a total lie) and everything was over, over, over? Yeah, not so much. Arkansas DHS is still investigation the Duggars. In Touch does not know (or if they know, they’re not saying) if this current DHS investigation is an ongoing thing related to Josh Duggar molesting his sisters, or if this DHS investigation is something new, related to something other than Josh’s actions. What In Touch does know is that DHS arrived at the Duggar house in late May to monitor a minor child and the Duggars refused access, so the DHS worker called 911. Here is the audio:

The new issue of In Touch Magazine reveals that the Duggar family is under investigation again by the Arkansas Department of Human Services and police were called when the family refused to cooperate. Now, In Touch has the audio of that 911 call made by a representative from the Washington County DHS on May 27 at around 11 a.m. to the Springdale Police Department asking for police assistance when DHS was not allowed to see the minor they were concerned about. In Touch, which broke the story of Josh Duggar’s sexual molestation scandal, has the full transcript of the emergency call in the new issue.

The new investigation comes as the family tries to save its TLC reality show, 19 Kids and Counting, which the network pulled off the air, while determining its fate. Jim Bob, Michelle and two of their daughters sat for interviews with Fox News, attempting to minimize the damage, but much of what they said was widely condemned as misinformation and not full disclosure.

The Duggars made no mention of the fact that they have been under investigation again, but In Touch discovered what they are hiding via another Freedom of Information Act request that produced the 911 call.

After identifying himself as a Washington Country DHS employee and stating the Duggar family address, the caller tells the 911 operator, “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 911 call was then transferred to Washington County authorities.

DHS records are not available to the public so it is unknown what prompted the investigation. Experts tell In Touch that an investigation can be triggered by a hotline complaint, even an anonymous one, if the trained operator determines the allegation is serious enough that it meets standards for child abuse maltreatment laws.

Huh, did someone call the hotline to complain about the Duggars? Remember, this happened on May 27th, which was a good week AFTER In Touch first began their reporting on the Duggar family. May 27th was six days after Josh Duggar admitted his criminal acts and resigned from the Family Research Council. Did In Touch’s reporting spur someone to call the hotline about the family? Or was this DHS investigation ongoing, something that began before In Touch’s bombshell reporting?
