Counting On: Josh Duggar Didn’t Make It For The Birth Of His 7th Baby?
Following his alarming arrest in April 2021, Josh Duggar has been under the custody of Lacount and Maria Reber. As per InTouchWeekly, they are close friends with the Duggar family. Till his hearings take place, the arrestee can’t be left alone with his kids. However, there is one exception to this condition. His wife Anna needs to be present during the time he spends time with his children. Despite this advantage, it looks like the father was not present for the birth of his 7th child.
This is because there have been no court filings for the felon to attend the abovementioned event. There is another possibility that his wife gave birth at home. If that was the case, then no court papers would come into play for him to visit his home. From his custodians’ residence, Duggar has only been permitted to go to very few places. This includes his workplace, church, various offices, legal appointments, and medical facility in case of emergencies. He has also been under supervision through GPS tracking.
