Amy Duggar King <\/b><\/a>and her husband, Dillion King<\/b>, are fiercely protective of their 6-year-old son, Daxton.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can\u2019t shield you from the whole world, but we will protect your world fiercely,\u201d Amy, 39, wrote via Instagram<\/span><\/a> on Sunday, April 19, alongside a photo of her son. \u201cYour safety, your steadiness and the life we\u2019re building around you.\u201d<\/p>\n

She continued, \u201cDad and I will never be passive about who we allow near you. Not everyone deserves a place in your story.\u201d<\/p>\n

Without detailing the inspiration of her post, Amy made it clear that her son\u2019s privacy was a top priority.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tAmy King (n\u00e9e Duggar) said she is \u201csickened, heartbroken and deeply angry\u201d after learning of cousin Joseph Duggar\u2019s arrest. \u201cMy first thoughts are with the victim, a child who deserved to be safe, protected and surrounded by people she could trust,\u201d King, 39, told Us Weekly in a statement on Friday, March 20. \u201cThe courage [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWe are the gatekeepers of their safety, their peace and their innocence. And we shouldn\u2019t open doors just because someone expects us to,\u201d she captioned her upload. \u201cAccess is earned, not assumed. It should be a privilege for someone to know your child, it\u2019s not a right! And peace at home is worth more than approval from anyone outside of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amy\u2019s family has recently gone through strife after her cousin Joseph Duggar <\/b>was arrested for unlawful sexual activity with a minor. Joseph, 31, was arrested in Arkansas on March 18<\/span><\/a>, following allegations that he molested a 9-year-old child in Florida in 2020. The victim, now 14, claimed in a police statement that the Counting On <\/i>alum \u201ceventually apologized for his actions\u201d at the time before the incidents stopped.<\/p>\n

Two days later, Joseph and wife Kendra Duggar <\/b>were each booked for four counts of child endangerment<\/span><\/a>. The charges were unrelated to Joseph\u2019s sexual misconduct claims.<\/p>\n

Kendra, 27, was released on bail within hours of her arrest. Joseph was extradited to Florida two weeks later, where he pleaded not guilty to the charges before being released on a $600,000 bond.<\/p>\n

Amy, who is the niece of Joseph\u2019s father Jim Bob Duggar<\/b>, broke her silence shortly after her cousin was taken into custody.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy first thoughts are with the victim, a child who deserved to be safe, protected and surrounded by people she could trust,\u201d she told Us Weekly <\/i>in a statement<\/span><\/a> last month. \u201cThe courage it took for her to come forward, especially after years of carrying something so heavy, cannot be overstated. That bravery deserves to be honored above all else.\u201d<\/p>\n
