One in six families have been impacted by INCEST, shocking report claims - and it's still legal to some extent in 19 states

-Estimated 15 percent of US families reported instance of incest in family trees

-Hotspots include Alabama, Kentucky, West Virginia, South Carolina, and more

-READ MORE: DNA tests are uncovering the true prevalence of incest

….The taboo subject of incest is becoming increasingly discussed as at-home DNA tests from companies like Ancestry and 23&me become more common, revealing uncomfortable truths about family connections.

….CDC research indicates that one in four girls and one in six boys are sexually abused before the age of 18 - the vast majority (91 percent) by someone the child or their family knows.

BedBible says its researchers analyzed more than 290 published peer-reviewed articles including data from more than 11 million people spanning from 1980 to 2023.

In that time, it said, 10 to 15 percent of families had incest events in their family trees. The majority were girls, according to the analysis - with one in five girls victims of incest compared with one in 14 boys.

…An estimated 32 million Americans reported to have been the victims of incest as a child, yet just 20 percent of incest victims report the crime to law enforcement, according to the report.

The report added that over 50 percent of pornography on Pornhub have an incestuous angle, which appears to reflect a dark fascination with inter-family sex.

…Incest is still legal to some extent in 19 US states, where two first cousins can marry. Most of the states fall on the coasts and in the South.

…Incestual relationships seems to be more common in areas that tend to be more remote from larger metropolises.

It is unbelievable to me also that the numbers would be too high. Methinks someone is manipulating numbers to make us think incest is not such a big deal. There are those who would like to see all sorts of taboo behavior mainstreamed.

People will sometimes say they have famous ancestors. I once worked with a guy who said he was descended from. Alexander the Great.

Good grief. Is anything in the Bible true? I’m sick of hearing that the Bible is really fake. So now Adam and Eve story is a huge lie? Great. Just great! No wonder people are walking away. I was taught the Bible was true. I guess not.

I'm not following you. I never said that the Adam and Eve story wasn't true.

wait. My opinion is that these states did not enact laws about something so heinous that did not require it due to the fact that their citizens had the morality not to engage in such acts. You do not need a law enacted by a bunch of idiots to know what is right and wrong. God has already written that law.

Country folk get noticed when the daughter gets pregnant but has not been to town in8 to 10 months and there are no combine crews around. Lots of cuntry folk won’t tolerate such shenanigans so I call BS on the claim.

Well that’s cool. mostly i think my ancestors were pirates and vagabonds who left the Netherlands and them Ireland cuz they were protestants. but i am related via marriage to PM tony blair. His grandmother was a Lipsett and i think remarried one of my dads great uncles. My dads cousins all joked about tony Blair cuz they called him bunny cuz of the ears. My grandmom’s family is all ballyshannon. ulster. my dad when visiting years ago told a story about a late night cruise to the north maybe loading up stuff for the store his uncle and cousins had in town. maybe the one mentioned in the below wiki.

Hazel Corscadden was the daughter of George Corscadden, a butcher and Orangeman who moved to Glasgow in 1916. In 1923, he returned to (and later died in) Ballyshannon, County Donegal, in Ulster. In Ballyshannon, Corscadden’s wife, Sarah Margaret (née Lipsett), gave birth above the family’s grocery shop to Blair’s mother, Hazel.[11][12]

“How many married people are walking around and are 4th, 5th, or 6th cousins and don’t even know it? Probably quite a few.”

I have over 30,000 relatives according to Ancestry.com. I don’t really bother checking on anyone past being a 3 to DNA cousin.

A first cousin recently died, and he had documented over 40,000 DNA relatives. One of his older fraternal female cousins refused to submit to a DNA test. She bluntly said that the DNA that attracted her parents to each other, had a similar effect on their off spring, 3 and 4th cousins. So, she refused to submit her DNA and she advised her children to say No.

Biden took showers with his daughter according to her diary.
Biden is a pedophile as well, molesting many children and does so in the open. He also walks around naked in front of female secret service agents when he was VP.
