New Duggar Investigation: Family Refused To Cooperate With Arkansas Department Of Human Services [REPORT]

Troubles continue for the Duggar family.

One week after a report revealed Josh Duggar molested five underage girls as a teenager, the Arkansas Department of Human Services opened another investigation against the Duggars, according to In Touch Weekly.

The weekly tabloid released the records in a story published on May 20. A representative from Washington County DHS visited the family on May 27 and had to call police for assistance when they refused to cooperate with the investigation.

DHS reportedly needed to see one of the Duggar minors, but weren't allowed to see the child. The department's records are not publicly available so it's unknown what prompted the investigation, according to In Touch.

"We have an investigation and I guess they're not being cooperative. We have to see the child to make sure the child is all right. So we just need police assistance," the DHS employee told a 911 dispatcher.

The Duggars are scrambling to put the scandal involving their oldest son, Josh, in the rearview mirror. Parents Jim Bob and Michelle as well as sisters Jill and Jessa, who admitted to being two of their brother's five victims, sat for interviews with Fox News host Megyn Kelly to explain what happened nearly 15 years ago.

They all made no excuses for Josh's actions, but stressed that the family had moved on. Michelle and her daughters also said the recent uproar had caused more trauma then the actual molestation.

On Tuesday, Josh and his wife Anna moved their family of three kids (and another on the way) out of Maryland and back to Arkansas. They had lived in the Washington D.C. area while Josh worked for the Family Research Council, but he resigned his post in the wake of the molestation scandal.
