Scott Enlow/TLCMore potential trouble for the Duggar family.
In Touch magazine, the same publication that first brought Josh Duggar's molestation scandal to light, has now obtained a 911 call from the Arkansas Department of Human Services which was placed after a visit to the family's home on May 27.
According to Today, which exclusively obtained the audio from the tabloid and aired it on the show this morning, the recording was acquired through the Freedom of Information Act.
"Well, we're Washington County DHS office and we're out here to, uh, we have an investigation," the voice on the tape tells a 911 dispatcher. "I guess they're not being cooperative, and we have to see the child to make sure the child is all right. So we just need police assistance or escort."
Per Today, the call was transferred after the request, but further details are unknown.
For safety reasons, DHS records are not made available to the public. The Arkansas Department of Human Services tells E! News that it can "neither confirm nor deny whether we have investigated a specific family."
"Child maltreatment allegations and investigations in Arkansas are confidential by law to protect the kids involved from having harmful or embarrassing information released to their neighbors, classmates and complete strangers," said Amy Webb, Director of Communications for the Arkansas Department of Human Services.
The 911 call was placed less than one week after Josh Duggar, 27, admitted to acting "inexcusably" when he was a teenager in response to allegations that he sexually abused five underage girls.
His younger sisters, Jill and Jessa Duggar, have since identified themselves as victims in an interview with Fox News, in which they came out in defense of their brother.
"I'm not going to justify anything that he did...but I do want to speak up in his defense against people who are calling him a child molester or a pedophile or a rapist, some people are saying. I'm like that is so overboard and a lie really, I mean people get mad at me for saying that but I can say this because I was one of the victims," Jessa told Fox News. "So I can speak out and I can say this and set the record straight here. Like in Josh's case, he was a boy, a young boy in puberty and a little too curious about girls. And that got him into to some trouble. And he made some bad choices, but really the extent of it was mild, inappropriate touching, on fully clothed victims, most of it while girls were sleeping."
Meanwhile, the fate of the family's hit TLC show 19 Kids and Counting is still unclear. The network pulled the show from its schedule last month in the wake of the molestation scandal.
