Amy Duggar King, cousin of disgraced former reality star Josh Duggar -- who is serving a 12-year sentence for child pornography -- says he told her he 'knew better' than to make her a victim when she confronted him (via toofab)
Part of the reason she believes the family -- which mainly refers to parents Jim Bob and Michelle -- protected Josh is because, as she put it,"the IBLP [Institute in Basic Life Principles] prizes the first child."
"Further, she said,"it doesn't get much better than if it's a son. They hold the family name and the family value." The Institute in Basic Life Principles is the controversial fundamentalist Christian organization that Jim Bob and Michelle are part of, with recent reports even suggesting they have risen to the top of the leadership ranks.
Amy argues that Josh's position in the family afforded him certain protections, which she says had a dramatic impact on him."If you're valued from the moment you've been born and people hide your secrets and cover up things," she said,"and you never get in trouble for the things that you're doing, I believe you just become numb to how the world really is, and how the law really is.
