As far as I'm concerned if incest is between adults it is none of my business......while I certainly find it repulsive I don't see any need to get involved.
An adult committing incest with a child is a totally different thing though. That would have to be stopped immediately. The second you learn of something like that you must call Children's Services in the community and also the local police. Some Children's Service groups are much better than others, so making the call isn't enough it would be important to follow up and make sure the perpetrator is removed from the situation allowing the abuse to happen.

Yes it happens I'm sure ,
Here in the USA and many other countries it's against the law !!
" Incest is considered taboo, and forbidden (fully or slightly) in the majority of current cultures. The precise meaning of the word varies widely, because different cultures have differing notions of "sexual activity" and "close family member". Some cultures consider only those related by birth, while others include those related by adoption or marriage. Some prohibit sexual relations between people who grew up in the same household, while others prohibit sexual relations between people who grew up in related households."

Yes it does all the time and if you are privy to it and it involves a child then you need to report it to someone that can intervene.
An adult who abuses a child is wrong and sick and needs to be stopped, the damage to the child is beyond belief and totally uninvited by that child. This is about power of the adult over the child who is being forced into satisfying a very sick person.
If you know of this happening it is your obligation to help that child by reporting it to someone!

Yes it does happen. It's proabably more common then society would like to admit. Everyone at one point or another has an incestuous fantasy (even if they won't admit to it). To me, incest is one of those things where you should enjoy the fantasy, but fear the reality.

well u can be grossed out or outraged or repulsed etc....hmmm incest is a delicate subject and its illegal as far as i know. i dont want to judge but the people who do it usually have mental issues
children born in incest are usually the ones affected, they are born with deformation and stuff .... and the psychological trauma is probably huge

If it is a child under 18 report it to the police and child protective services.

Yes. Not long ago two first cousins were married in Maryland.... by many definitions that would be considered incest.
It does occur but it is usually kept very secret.

Yes, it happens. If it's a situation where a child is being abused, molested, etc., then one should step in. Otherwise, if it's between two consenting adults, I don't see it as being any of my business.

Yes, it happens. Sometimes it's consensual and other times it's not. If it's not, report it to the police. If it is, then just "live and let live."
