DUGGAR critics slammed Jinger Vuolo and her husband, Jeremy, after they took their one-year-old daughter out to a crowded Los Angeles park.
The small family quickly visited the park after it had reopened amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The 26-year-old has posted on her Instagram stories a cute snap of her daughter walking along a pond while people crowded around them.
Redditors then took to the social media platform to criticize Jinger and her husband as they took out their daughter and ignore all social distancing practices.
One user wrote: “Sorry, but no. People need to stay home. If there are other people at the park and you can’t avoid them, go home.
While another one criticized the family and wrote: “They weren’t social distancing, in the videos they are seen side by side and brushing up against large groups of people as well as allowing Publicity run up to strangers.
“In the past they have been all about showing off their masks and staying in their cars but with the park being opened up again they seemed to have ditched all precautions.”

However, other Reddit users defended their decision to go out in public and get some fresh air.
One vocal commentator wrote: “The Vuolos had no control over how many other people showed up at the park that day.
“We are allowed to go outside. If there are other people outside it’s difficult to be constantly dodging walkers going at different paces and in every different direction.
“I’m reaching my limit with the quarantine and social distance shaming happening on the internet these days.”
And another one stood up for the family and wrote: “There’s nothing wrong with going to a large park and social distancing and/or wearing masks.
“Playgrounds are closed so children won’t crowd together at the top of the slide and share germs from the hands-on nature of playgrounds. But it’s perfectly fine to go outside and get some fresh air, sunlight and exercise, using sensible precautions.
“For many, it’s an important part of maintaining good mental health as well.”

The mother of one has also been the center of speculation among Duggar fans as many think she’s pregnant with her second child.
After posting a snap of her and her husband walking in the rain, many eagle-eyed fans noticed there was something different about her.
One fan asked her: “Are you by chance, pregnant?”
This question led to a series of back and forth comments with fans, some of whom were also curious and others who felt it was inappropriate.
The speculation comes weeks after the 26-year-old also sparked pregnancy rumors after adding then deleting the hashtag “#healthyfitpregnancy” to a post.

Counting On star Jinger has been defying her parent’s expectations and strict dress code in recent weeks, taking to a salon to get her ears pierced for a second time.
Jinger, whose family lives in Arkansas, moved to Los Angeles with her husband Jeremy Vuolo, 32, after they spent two years living in Laredo, Texas.
The couple moved over the summer 2019 so Jeremy could get an advanced master’s degree at a Seminary school in Panorama City, California.

Since living in the Golden State, she has debuted tan skin and short blonde hair, and has also traded in long frocks and skirts for ripped jeans, jean shorts and shorter dresses.
Jinger has also broken from her family’s values by hiring a nanny for her daughter.
Jinger, however, has always been the family rebel, as she revealed on 19 Kids and Counting when she was younger that she wants to live in a big city.
