In preparation for the new Duggar special tonight...

I think she's there to try to answer the criticisms that the Duggars only care about people who are just like them, or the idea that they would disown or shun a child who left the lifestyle. TPTB can point at the show and say, "Look, Cousin Amy wears pants/listens to rock music/has boyfriends and they still love her!" I don't really think that proves anything about how they would treat a child who rejected their lifestyle though...a niece is not really the same. Look at how the Kellers have apparently treated some of their kids.

It's no skin off their noses to give Amy a pass, since she doesn't live with them.
