More Duggar household secrets are arising in the wake of Josh Duggar's sex abuse scandal.
In the police report that revealed Josh molested five young women when he was a teenager (some of whom were his sisters) a victim alleges that Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar spank their children using a rod.
The child victim told "Investigator Taylor" that the Duggar parents spank all the kids with the rod, but don't leave bruises, according to Radar Online. Radar Online does not provide Taylor's first name.
Neither parent commented on the spanking allegations at the time of publication.
Josh, 27, issued an apology for the sexual crimes he committed when he was 15 years old.
"I hurt others, including my family and close friends. I confessed this to my parents who took several steps to help me address the situation. We spoke with the authorities where I confessed my wrongdoing, and my parents arranged for me and those affected by my actions to receive counseling. I understood that if I continued down this wrong road that I would end up ruining my life," he said,
After the allegations against Josh were made public, TLC pulled the reality show "19 Kids And Counting," which stars the Duggar family.
New reports suggest that the network is considering keeping the show but firing Josh. Instead, the show would focus on the 18 other children in the family.
