Episode 505: Duggar Parents Caught Son Molesting Underage Sisters & Just Sent Him To Church Camp ‘To Be Fixed’

---

The Covenant’s Eyes. A mobile app anyone can download whose purpose is to prevent its user from watching adult content. Around every 45 seconds, a screenshot is taken (yes, even if you’re in incognito mode) and gets sent directly to someone you know.

Your wife, husband, father, etc., they’re called your ‘accountability partner.’

But what if the content being viewed is illegal? Depraved. Perverted. Corrupt.

What if the content being viewed involves crimes against children? CSAM?

Does it still screenshot and send the alert to the ‘accountability partner?’

Does it get sent straight to the authorities?

Former reality TV star, Joshua Duggar is arrested for this very violation.

This is the case of the Duggar family. The 2021 arrest of Joshua Duggar and the 2026 arrests of his siblings, Joseph and Kendra Duggar.

Plus…all the potential crimes in between.
