Summary
One Duggar brother is in federal prison. Another was arrested this week on charges he allegedly admitted to twice. Their father has known about abuse inside his family since 2002 and has faced zero legal consequences. A federal judge has already put his finding about Jim Bob's sworn testimony on the public record: not credible.
In Part 2 of Hidden Killers' three-part interview series, hosts Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke sit down with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott — thirty years working with perpetrators of violence across forensic mental health programs, domestic violence settings, and private practice — to examine the psychology of the men at the center of this story.
What does Josh Duggar's pattern look like to a clinician who has spent decades in this work? What does Joseph's alleged admission — and his apparent apology to the girl at the time — tell us about how he processed what he did? What is Jim Bob doing when he chooses church over law enforcement, twice, across two decades, and then claims he can't remember any of it under oath?
What does the research actually show about what happens to offenders who receive faith-based handling instead of clinical treatment? And what does the complete absence of real consequences do to someone who has harmed others?
This is Part 2 of 3.
