Amy Duggar King<\/a> is sharing more about her relationship with cousin Joseph Duggar<\/a> and his wife, Kendra Duggar, in light of their recent arrests.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have no idea where the kids are,\u201d Amy, 39, wrote via her Instagram Story on Monday, March 23, referring to Joseph and Kendra\u2019s four children: sons Garrett, 7, and Justus, 3, and daughters Addison, 6, and Brooklyn, 5.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just hope and pray they are being well taken care of and someone is holding them tight and that they are safe,\u201d Amy continued. \u201cSadly, I’ve never met them, they do not know me. So l’d be a stranger to them. And right now, they probably need someone they actually know.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amy also said she hasn\u2019t \u201cseen or heard from\u201d Joseph, 31, in \u201cabout five years\u201d and \u201cdidn\u2019t know Kendra extremely well.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have texted Kendra, no response back,\u201d she added. \u201cThat was before I knew anything of her being arrested.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joseph was arrested<\/a> on Wednesday, March 18, on charges of lewd and lascivious behavior involving molestation of a victim less than 12 years old and lewd and lascivious behavior conducted by a person 18 years or older. He was accused of molesting a 9-year-old girl while on vacation in Panama City Beach, Florida, in 2020.<\/p>\n

The victim, now 14, told police that Joseph \u201ceventually apologized for his actions\u201d and \u201cthe incidents stopped after the apology.\u201d<\/p>\n

Two days later, news broke that Joseph and Kendra, 27, are also facing four counts of endangering the welfare of a minor, second degree, and four counts of second degree false imprisonment. Kendra was arrested<\/a> on Friday, March 20, and subsequently released later that day on a $1,470 bond. Meanwhile, Joseph is awaiting extradition to Florida.<\/p>\n

An insider with knowledge of the case exclusively told Us Weekly that Kendra\u2019s arrest \u201chas nothing to do with Joseph\u2019s<\/a>\u201d and was a result of a home investigation.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter his charge, they automatically do a home study if minors live there. They came to her house,\u201d the insider said. \u201cApparently, they had two rooms where the lock of the doorknob was on the outside instead of inside. They arrested her and took her kids for that, saying it\u2019s evidence that she wrongly detains her kids.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joseph and Kendra have yet to address their arrests. However, multiple family members have spoken out, including Amy.<\/p>\n

\u201cRecognizing that we do not yet know the full picture, I am also praying for Joseph\u2019s wife, Kendra, as she begins to process this, and for the protection of their children,\u201d Amy said in a statement on Thursday, March 19. \u201cI\u2019m praying for eyes to be opened and above all, I pray that justice will be served to the fullest.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Holy Disruptor author later amended her statement<\/a> following Kendra\u2019s arrest.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that was a plot twist that no one saw coming,\u201d she said in an interview with TMZ. \u201cWhen I gave that [first] statement \u2026 that was just the information I was given at the time and thought to be true. Now that the information has changed and there\u2019s more that is coming out and there\u2019s a lot of question marks right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amy added, \u201cI\u2019m just going to steer that statement towards the kids because that\u2019s what matters right now, is the kids\u2019 safety, the victim and her family, and the four children that were in [Joseph and Kendra\u2019s] home. That is where my heart lies. I\u2019m just going to lay there.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Amy Duggar King is sharing more about her relationship with cousin Joseph Duggar and his wife, Kendra Duggar,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":362398,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[55519,163763,93,61,60,161212,163764,163762,163765,282],"class_list":["post-362397","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-amy","tag-amy-duggar-king","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-joseph-duggar","tag-kendra","tag-kendra-duggar","tag-lewd-and-lascivious-behavior","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/362397","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=362397"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/362397\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/362398"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=362397"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=362397"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=362397"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
