incest child?

Question

has anyone ever meet an incest child? do they really look all messed up like the movies show us?

Answer 1

I don't know whether I've met one; this is usually kept secret. But biologically most of them are normal; there is a higher incidence of hereditary disease, of course, but that doesn't necessarily mean very high incidence.

Answer 2

Adam and Eve were created genetically perfect - marrying a brother or sister was not an issue. Marrying a close relative was not prohibited until the Mosaic law, thousands of years later (Leviticus 18:6-18). By that time, the human race had degenerated genetically and incest would be a problem.

Answer 3

I know a couple that adopted a baby that was the product of incest. The girl was molested by her father for yrs and had a baby at the age of 14.
This particular baby has a "hairlip" and some developmental issues, but otherwise the baby is just fine. Healthy and intelligent.
"Incest children" are not all messed up, as you so delicately put it, they are children just the same. It is not their fault who their parents are.
My pastor says to the children of our church that only God knows what is in store for us. We cannot and do not choose our mommies and daddies. And sadly, that is the case here.
These kids did not choose to be concieved this way. They were concieved because some sick pervert couldn't get their rocks off any other way.
All kids need love and support no matter who their parents are.

Answer 4

No not all the time. Children of incest have a higher chance of having a mental or physical retardation because of bloodlines. While I wouldn't make it a habit to bore children in this manner, if they happen to come about, (rape), there is a good chance that the child will be normal.

Answer 5

What do you mean.."do they really look all messed up like the movies show us"? What movies have you been watching?
I am an Incest child. Although I am now 51 years old. I was sexually molested by my natural father from the time I was 11 until I was 15 years old. My father had a physical disease and so my mother made me stay home with him every Sunday night while she and my sisters went to church and that is when it would happen. He used to come into my bedroom every night on his way to the bathroom which was right next to my room and he would reach under my bedcovers and into my pj's and fondle me. I usually pretended I was asleep and then got to where I would moan and twist and turn hoping to awaken one of my sisters or my mom in the other room, but it never worked.
He always told me I couldn't tell anyone as they would not understand and that I would be the one who was sent away and then my mom would hate me. So, I never even said anything to my sisters for years after we had already left home and then I don't remember how it came out but it did and I found out he had done the same thing to 2 of my other 3 sisters. When I was 15, I told him if he touched my little sister (5 years younger than me)
that I would tell. Shortly after that, I left home.
I have been married 3 times...but I don't blame that on what happened to me growing up.
When I became a Rape Crisis Volunteer many years later, I heard a lady in charge tell us at a seminar...."Just say NO". Well, I went up to her afterwards and told her that I never knew I had the right to say no...this man was my father; a man I was supposed to trust; who was supposed to care for me...he told me to do alot of things I didn't want to do (clean my room;clean doogy-doo out of the back yard;clean the bathroom; do the dishes); and as sad as it is to say now...this to me was just another thing he told me to do and I was not about to disobey an order from my father! That just was not how I was raised!! Yes, I knew it was wrong...but I was always raised to obey my elders and this was just one more thing I had to do.
I know better now...but hindsight is 20/20.
My father is dead now...he committed suicide the day after Christmas 2000......we never were close at all after I moved out when I turned 16, but I did silently forgive him....but I never left my children alone with him.
I don't think we are that much different than anyone else who has been raped by an acquantance or a stranger. We have both been severally violated...but you either move on or you don't. Movies have to buff things up for the ratings...so of course they'll make things worse than they really are. You know what they say...."Don't Believe Anyhting You Hear, And Only Half Of What You See."

Answer 6

Answer 7
