And since one of the fondling incidents occurred while a 5-year-old girl was sitting on Josh's lap, Michelle said “little ones don't sit on big boy's laps.” She even took it one step further and prohibited her children from sitting on any laps, even family, “except Daddy.”

Jim Bob and Michelle maintain that they were under no obligation to report the molestation to law enforcement. According to police reports, Jim Bob waited until 2006 to report the incident.
“As parents you are not mandatory reporters. The law allows you to do what you think is best for your child,” he said.

And in a bombshell claim, Jim Bob said Springdale Police Chief Kathy O'Kelley, who released the police reports, had a “personal agenda” and took a “bribe” to personally “hurt him.” “She was getting ready to retire and she said, 'There’s a few things I want to do before I retire,'” he said. “I think I was on her list.”
