A new report claims that last week’s unsealed police report that revealed the molestation of minors by Josh Duggar also exposed the fact that Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar use a ‘rod’ to ‘spank’ their children.
Radar Online is reporting that one of the unnamed minors police spoke to in their investigation made this accusation when they said ‘mother and dad spank’ followed by ‘they have a rod.’
According to the site, this individual is telling ‘investigators about alleged abuse by Jim Bob and Michelle.’
The actual police report does not at any point identify the minor being questioned or the who the ‘mother and father’ they are referring to in their statement might be.
The report reads; ‘Inv. Taylor asked [name redacted] about getting spanked. [Name redacted] said that when [redacted] is bad that [redacted] mother and dad spank [redacted].
‘Inv. Taylor asked what they use to spank. [Redacted] said that they have a rod.
‘Inv. Taylor asked if they do this to all the kids [redacted] said yes.
‘Inv. Taylor asked if they leave any bruising [redacted] said no.’
