DUGGAR fans have expressed they think Joy-Anna is trying to avoid backlash for bad parenting after they spot a clue in a new photo of her daughter.
The Counting On alum as well as her husband Austin Forsyth’s parenting skills have been called into question by fans in the past.

Joy-Anna, 25, shared the photo of her two-year-old daughter, Evelyn, on her Instagram Stories Saturday.
The photo, captioned “that hair tho,” captures Evelyn sitting inside her car seat as she smiles at the camera with unruly pigtails.
The former TLC star positioned a large Instagram heart sticker on top of the photo with the sticker just so happening to obscure the car seat’s safety clip.
One of Joy-Anna’s followers believed the sticker placement to be deliberate and took to a Duggar-dedicated Reddit board to air out the perceived attempt to conceal a dangerous situation.
They reposted the InstaStory photo, explaining: “So Joy had time to take a photo and cover her daughter’s chest clip with a heart, but didn’t have time to raise the clip so it’s safe?”
The fan then added: “She obviously knows it’s too low. I don’t get it.”
Other fans rushed to the post’s comment thread to give their take on the misplaced clip with one person writing, “It was more freaking work for her to cover it than to just fix it d**n.”
A second fan commented: “It’s less ‘I’m covering this because I know it’s a bad example for new parents,’ and more ‘I’m covering this because I can’t be bothered to buckle my child’s seat belt properly, much less to moderate an argument about car seat safety in my comments (AKA delete all dissenting opinions).'”

Another commenter agreed, writing “She doesn’t care, but also doesn’t wanna hear the comments.”
A third Redditor questioned: “How hard is it to MOVE THE CLIP UP?!?!?!”
“You can still see it’s out of place – she didn’t cover it all,” added a fourth.
Another fan chimed: “Also, best case scenario- even if you took the picture, then realized the kid moved the clip, so you moved it back to where it’s supposed to be… Why even post the pic? Just delete it.”
While a final commenter stated: “It baffles me, the blatant disregard for their kids’ safety.”
DANGEROUS DRIVE
Joy-Anna has come under fire for car seat issues before when fans spotted what they claimed to be a dangerous parenting move during her car ride with her son Gideon.
The reality TV star posted a video on Instagram of herself and her son Gideon, four, after a trip through a fast-food drive-thru.
Joy-Anna’s previous Instagram Story post depicted a well-behaved Gideon getting a haircut.
The three-year-old is shown happily hopping down from the barber’s chair after a job well done.
Joy-Anna rewarded her son for his good behavior as she explained, “Gideon did so good today we ran by Sonic. He calls it special drinks.”
The mother-of-two is shown reaching into the backseat and handing Gideon his treat.
She asks, “What’d you get Gideon?”, to which the toddler replies, as he’s clamping down onto his straw, “nerds.”

While the video seemed innocent enough, some 19 Kids and Counting fans noticed a dangerous detail with the young child’s car seat.
A screengrab of the video was posted on an online forum and titled, “Car seat too small? Should his head not be 1 inch below the top of the seat?”
One Redditor responded: “The 1″ rule is for rear-facing but the harness straps seem to be well below the shoulder line.”
A second fan commented: “The 1” I think applies to forward-facing/booster seats as well. At least all of the ones I’ve owned.”
Another person added: “That shoulder harness placement is bad. It looks like there are higher slots they could use.”
“You’re still right to be concerned,” wrote a fourth Redditor.
They continued: “He looks like he’s outgrown this seat. Plus, it doesn’t seem to be installed correctly and his shoulder straps also look to be in the wrong position.”
While a fifth fan simply wrote: “Duggars don’t do car safety.”
Another fan chimed: “Besides the topic, but every time I see Joy posting about homeschooling I want to scream.”
SPELL CHECK NEEDED
Fans recently advised Joy-Anna not to homeschool her children after she made a big grammar mistake.
In her recent, YouTube video, the ex-TV personality recorded a day in her and her family’s life.
Joy-Anna releases weekly Youtube videos, which are usually vlogs of things happening in her family’s life.
The most recent one, posted on Friday, was titled: “A Day in Our Life! – The Forsyth’s.”
Reddit fans, however, posted a screenshot of the thumbnail and pointed out her grammatical error.
“… SOTDRT Joy-Anna, an apostrophe does not make a word plural,” a user pointed out.
Forsyths should not have an apostrophe separating the “h” and the “s” because that then makes the word possessive.
The word, in this context, is just plural.
SOTDRT means School of the Dining Room Table, referencing the 25-year-old homeschooling her children.
“Joy it’s literally in the name of your channel,” wrote one fan, with a facepalm emoji.
Another added: “What’s sad is that I see people with a college education do this on a regular basis.”
“… Not everyone is good at spelling or grammar. But for the love of all that is holy, if you want to be a social media influencer, get a subscription to Grammarly,” a fan raged.
