How could someone do something like that to their own daughter? Its a very foolish thing to do, hope they punish him good for this crime he commited.

You would have to be pretty messed up to do something like that...might need a psychiatric evaluation. very scary

Crazy, scary, and sick indeed! The poor woman. I hope she is able to make something of her life.

what about the kids. i don't remember how many there were but i do remember that's how they figured out about the daghter. One of the kids was really sick and taken to the hospital and they ended up taking a DNA test. just think if they had decided not to do that test.
speaking of crazy family stuff what about that one family in Austin i think it was.

I feel sorry for the kids. How could someone do that to their daughter. That would be hard to lead a normal life after that.

Would the kids be deformed or handicapped at all because they were born as a product of incest?

Allie,

It is possible. Aside from genetic dangers, there are more environmental issues: malnutrition, abuse, psychological trauma, etc.
