1. Joshua's wife

Joshua lives not far from the Duggar compound in Arkansas. Court documents claim that Joshua's wife suspected that he physically assaulted a boy under the age of 10 in their home on several occasions. His wife reported that Joshua punished the child by making him exercise by doing push ups, planks, jumping jacks and wall sits. Joshua was also accused of holding the child's face underwater in a bathtub for about one to two minutes.

2. Joshua's reasoning

Allegedly, Joshua held the boy's face underwater after he learned that the boy tried to hurt a dog in a similar way. The affidavit stated: “Joshua was trying to make [the boy] hold his breath under water, so he could ‘make him feel like the puppy felt.’” His wife did not see Joshua hit the child but reportedly Joshua told her that he did. He is also accused of using a wooden dowel road against the child, causing marks and bruising on his body.
