Throughout the Josh Duggar molestation scandal, Michelle and Jim Bob have been criticized for failing to protect their daughters and prevent their son's ongoing abuse.
In his recent interview with Megyn Kelly, Jim Bob Duggar defended his failure to report Josh with a variety of excuses rooted in dubious legal reasoning.
Michelle and Jim Bob insisted that they weren't "mandatory reporters," but that claim has since been proven invalid. In fact, some legal experts believe the Duggars are guilty of child endangerment.
But in fairness, the family did put a good deal of effort into their "in-house" efforts to stop Josh's sexual assaults. Some insiders say they may have even designed their famous "Duggar compound" with the goal of keeping Josh away from his sisters in mind.
In the Kelly interview, Jim Bob and Michelle stated that they created "boundaries and safeguards" to put a stop to the abuse, and they may have been speaking more literally than we thought.
Radar Online is now reporting that when Jim Bob designed the sprawling 7,000 square foot home in which the Duggars currently reside, he did so with Josh's history of molestation in mind.
The house was built in 2006, several years after Josh's counseling had supposedly "cured" him of his abusive tendencies.
Even so, Jim Bob ensured that Josh and the other boys would need to pass through several doors (which were to be locked at night) and their parents' master bedroom in order to get to the wing of the house in which the girls sleep.
Some believe the Duggars deserve credit for going to such great lengths to ensure that Josh would be physically unable to continue molesting his sisters.
Others believe it's an indication that Michelle and Jim Bob lived in fear of Josh's abusive behavior until the day he moved out of their home.
