Amy Duggar King, Jim Bob Duggar's niece and author of the memoir Holy Disruptor, details the alleged generational abuse she says began with her grandfather, Jimmy Lee Duggar, and has continued through subsequent generations of the Duggar family.

According to Amy's published account, Jimmy Lee Duggar was physically violent and predatory. She alleges her mother Deanna was beaten so severely she nearly died, and that protective measures — including her grandmother locking bedroom doors from the inside at night — were standard practice in the household. Jim Bob Duggar, Amy says, grew up witnessing these conditions before establishing his own family structure within the Institute in Basic Life Principles.

Joseph Duggar, the seventh of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar's nineteen children, was arrested on March 18 in Tontitown, Arkansas, on a warrant from Bay County, Florida. He is charged with lewd and lascivious behavior on a child under twelve, according to the arrest affidavit from the Bay County Sheriff's Office. The alleged victim, now fourteen, told investigators the abuse occurred during a family trip to Panama City Beach when she was nine. Joseph reportedly admitted to the conduct when confronted by the victim's father and again during a police-monitored phone call.

Kendra Duggar, Joseph's wife, was arrested two days later and charged with four counts of endangering the welfare of a minor and four counts of second-degree false imprisonment after investigators reportedly found locks on the outside of their children's bedroom doors during a home study.

Amy sits down with retired FBI Behavioral Analysis Program Chief Robin Dreeke to examine the behavioral patterns she says have defined the Duggar family across three generations — control, suppression, and institutional silence.
