"I have never felt more betrayed than in that moment, when this beautiful, precious newborn is in the hands of a monster,"
"I just vowed to myself that will never happen again. I will protect him at all costs."
"If you knew him back in the day, he was the most loving, caring person and and I don't think it was a façade."
"For me, I consider it connecting the dots as to why I left, as to why things have changed."
Amy Duggar King discovered that her cousin Josh Duggar had committed sexual crimes and felt profoundly betrayed when he held her newborn son, prompting a vow to protect her child. She was portrayed on TLC's 19 Kids and Counting as the nickname 'Crazy Cousin Amy,' a label she disliked. The show was canceled in 2015 after revelations that Josh molested sisters and a babysitter. Josh later admitted to pornography addiction and infidelity and was arrested and convicted in 2021 for downloading images and videos portraying the sexual abuse of children. King reveals physical and emotional abuse, financial coercion, and believes the downfall could have been preventable.
