Details of the Arrest
Kendra Duggar was arrested after facing charges related to child endangerment. During an interview with TMZ on March 21, Amy expressed surprise at the turn of events, stating that when she initially gave a statement of support, she was working with limited information which has since changed.
Amy emphasized her concern for the children involved, stating that their safety is the primary focus. She noted she is advocating for the wellbeing of the four children in Joseph and Kendra's home.
Background on Charges
Joseph Duggar was arrested on March 18 for allegations of lewd behavior involving molestation of a minor less than 12 years old. The incident allegedly took place during a vacation in Florida in 2020.
Additionally, both Joseph and Kendra face four counts each of endangering the welfare of a minor and false imprisonment. An insider stated that Kendra's arrest resulted from a home study conducted following Joseph’s charges, revealing problematic locks on room doors they claim indicated improper detainment of children.

The Duggars have not yet commented on this matter publicly.
