The Duggar family is under investigation again by the Arkansas Department of Human Services, and police were called in to assist when the family refused to cooperate, In Touch magazine reports.

As parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar and their “19 Kids and Counting” family are embroiled in a molestation scandal involving oldest son Josh, news comes Wednesday that a representative from the county DHS had visited the Duggar home on May 27 to see a minor for whom they were concerned. When the family refused to produce the minor, the representative made a 911 call to police.

The caller told the dispatcher he was at the home as part of a DHS investigation, according to 911 records made available to In Touch.

“We have an investigation, and I guess they’re not being cooperative,” the caller said. “We have to see the child to make sure the child is all right. So we just need police assistance.”

It’s not clear what prompted this May 27 visit because DHS records are not publicly available.

Police and DHS previously investigated the conservative Christian reality TV stars in 2006 and 2007, respectively, after Jim Bob told police that Josh confessed to molesting four sisters and a family friend in 2002 and 2003.

The alleged assaults, in which Josh admitted to fondling his sisters’ breasts and genitals, started just after Josh turned 14. Josh, now 27 and the father of three, said he sneaked into his sisters’ bedrooms at least four or five times while they slept. He also said he fondled the family friend as she slept on a couch and inappropriately touched a 5-year-old sister as she sat on his lap and he read her stories.

The Duggars face mounting criticism and the possible loss of their hit TLC reality series because of concerns it took them more than a year to get Josh into treatment and protect their daughters after the teen first confessed to his father. In an interview with Fox News Channel’s Megyn Kelly, Jim Bob said Josh confessed to fondling the five girls at least three times before they sent him away to a Christian counseling program.

According to In Touch, the Fox News interviews with Jim Bob, Michelle and two of their daughters have been widely condemned for the way the parents attempted to minimize the damage. There are also questions about the extent to which the parents and Josh, who resigned as a lobbyist for the conservative Family Research Council, tried to cover up Josh’s actions as they touted traditional family values to gain reality TV show fame.

In Touch also notes that the Duggars made no mention of the fact they were again under investigation before the Fox News interviews aired.
