When I read the headline I was expecting a story out of West Virginia or Oklahoma.  Guess I was sure fooled.

‘My Sister Is Pregnant and We Don’t Know Which of My Brothers is the Father’

The quoted sentence was spoken by a child on a school playground. Overheard by a teacher, this triggered an investigation that exposed a multigenerational horror story in rural Australia:

Police raided the Colt family home in rural south-western New South Wales in July 2012 after a teacher alerted authorities to a conversation overheard in the playground that detailed the incest. . .

Lesson to be learned?  Teach your children to never-ever talk about family stuff away from home.

stay safe.

Here's the lesson:
"...died of a rare genetic defect."

The story reminds me of Royal lineages.

Ah, their family tree is a broomstick!

Were they found by a pair of FBI agents, an attractive redhead skeptic female agent, and a slightly nerdy male one who believes in aliens and the paranormal?

We had some friends here who had a straight branch on their family tree a few generations ago. The family is still paying for it through early cardiac death for quite a few of the males in the family. Their son was 34 when he had sudden cardiac death and most of the males in the family do not see 60. Kind of sad really, just from one closely related pair having offspring a long time ago.

Sad.. but still better than having mom hiding under the bed on her mechanics creeper dolly.

My wife's aunt's family maybe going down that road. Her cousins, both in their late 30s still live at home with mom and dad. The youngest, a girl has to have the brother approve any dates. We think there may have been one about a dozen years ago. And no she is fairly attractive. Seems about the time the kids were approaching marriage able age it was discovered that 3-4 generations back one of the paternal ancestors had taken a black woman for a wife. And because of that they decided it would be better not to procreate.
I *expletive deleted* it you not.
