Inbred Family Of 40 found in Australian Outback

[TheDreamMaster]

This is what came to mind first. What a hell of a messed up story.

I just can't imagine so many people doing this, much less for so many years as to produce a couple of generations, then add on just the way it seems the individuals in this group could barely function in society. It's baffling...

I find it interesting the article attributes the ongoing incest to it being genetic...starting from their great-great grandparents, who were brother and sister, who apparently passed it down.

I must have missed something...where did they say that?

I don't recall the article saying that the incest and inbreeding are genetic, but those behaviors certainly were passed down through generations in that family through intergenerational sexual abuse. That is not uncommon in such situations, sadly, as some incest victims will in turn victimize other relatives.

What they didn't realise was the children were the result of intimate relations between brothers and sisters, and uncles and nieces and fathers and daughters. Their family threw back to a set of great-great grandparents who were a brother and sister.

The family compulsion was regenerating itself.

It didn't say genetic. I was using that word in the broad sense of hereditary and behaviors.

Yeeeeeah...definitely not how you're supposed to use that word.

le sigh...and you return "grammar legislator". I had thought you were gone...but alas you have returned.

It has nothing to do with grammar. It's purely conceptual - and reflective of a much deeper issue regarding scientific literacy. *Shrug*

So the royal family in the U.K just discovered some new relatives...

This is a creepy photo..Please tell me it is taken from the movie with the leather face.

Ya it's more of a cultural thing. If you're raised in a house where everybody's banging each other, you think that's okay and do it yourself.

Is there a Hype award for most off putting thread created in a given year? Cuz I think this and the 82 year old woman with a 40 year old fetus thread would be battling for the top spot.

 

[RustyCage]

I wonder if they've found the power tools and leather masks yet. Or the furniture made of human bones...

If you read the story, they had chainsaws laying around.

You could make that joke about the whole of European royalty seeing as they are all related.

 

[Raiden]

This story is the reason why truth is often stranger than fiction. This is all kinds of messed up, quite frankly.

 

[Rocketman]

This all means nothing to me until I can see pictures of them.

It is quite Disturbing how the town people never had any clue about the **** taking place next to them over generations and then use to make inbred jokes on these people .

 

[Dispatch Ninja]

No telling what they put that poor kangaroo through.

The kangaroo is probably their leader.

 

[Fallen Angel]

Kangaroo is called Jack by the way.

"Moving state to state, possibly to evade detection, the scandal only came to light when authorities were alerted there were children living in the hills who didn't attend school."

They didn't stay in the same place over generations. The places where they lived were also far enough from the town that they didn't even have running water or electricity.

That Kangaroo has seen s*** you wouldn't believe. The Kangaroo probably needs counselling too.

 

[DJ_KiDDvIcIOUs]

I'm disappointed DJ didn't get a hold of this one.

Where were you on this, DJ KIDD? You are slacking!

Sorry guys, I guess I'll have to find a site that reports on weird happenings in the Outback so I can stay ahead of the game.

Seriously this is a jacked up story though, sucks for those kids
