The sheriff of a small county in northeast North Carolina says he is "disgusted" by the parents of six men who are accused of sexually abusing their sister for nearly a decade, at a private family compound.
"I blame the parents for this," Perquimans County Sheriff Eric Tilley told The Huffington Post on Tuesday. "It's your responsibility as a parent to teach [your children] right and wrong. When you see a child doing something that is totally wrong and you don't correct them, then the child thinks it's OK."
Tilley said his deputies charged the six brothers, ranging in age from 19 to 27, on May 6, with a number of crimes related to the alleged sexual abuse of their 16-year-old sister. The sheriff said the alleged abuse began when the girl was 4 years old and continued until she was almost 15.
Authorities have identified the brothers as Aaron Jackson, 19, Benjamin Jackson, also 19, Nathaniel Jackson, 21, Mathew Jackson, 23, Jon Jackson, 25, and Eric Jackson, 27.
Tilley described the family as "bizarre" and said he believes the father is "anti-government" and "anti-schools."
"The children were home schooled with very limited education," said the sheriff. "They were very private and the whole yard has a fence around it -- like a little compound. They're very different."

Quote exactly where I “trolled”.
The family tree may have been bamboo.
Too bad such a funny comment has to be on such a lousy subject!
Apparently the oldest brother told the pastor of the church, who told him that this was not normal. Then oldest went to police and confessed. All I can guess is that the parents are the crazy ones and the kids were raised in such an echo chamber that only when the oldest was getting out into the normal world did he realized that this is Not Good.
I always thought it was “poke salad”, maybe not.
Sal’s a longtime Freeper in good standing...check her posts. To make a very thinly veiled accusation of her being a DUmmy troll is absolutely disgraceful.
It is a wild vegetable that is ubiquitous in the South which is commonly consumed fried with bacon fat and ‘shrooms.
If harvested too late it is toxic, but reputed to have psycho-active effects at just the right point in its maturity.
You gotta grab fleeting humor by the throat when/wherever you find it.
Otherwise, you just might start screaming.

And it involves a gal named Annie.

It’s not so much disgraceful as desperate.
“Logical fallacies”.
The last resort of a scoundrel.
I just looked it up and a quick search reveals it spelled both ways.
The song from the 70s spelled it “polk.” Online dictionaries show both spellings.
Phytolacca americana AKA ‘poke’ or ‘pokeweed’
I knew “shrooms” were involved, somehow.
:D
I think I went to school with her. ;)
I know what pokeweed looks like, it grows on the side of the road a lot but I have never eaten any of it.
Thank God for FR botanists.
:)
It pops up in the corner of my backyard every spring and I spend hours hacking it down and then keeping a watchful eye for the deadly poke berries.
Always fear the dogs will get hold of them.
The infernal weed seems immortal.
;D
Poke berry juice is used as ink in black magic spells.
Yeah, Annie was a slut!
A one family Freak Show.
Bet Daddy was in on it, too.
