-snip-
A teenager has told how she became engaged to her FATHER after the two were reunited following more than a decade apart.

The American woman was estranged from her dad growing up, but the two got back in touch when she was 17.

After chatting online for a few weeks the two met - and felt an instant attraction.

When I saw the headline I thought, "please don't let this story be in America."

8. They're moving to New Jersey where incestuous relationships aren't punished.

There goes that myth about the South.

10. West Virginia has probably the strongest law

in the country regarding cousin marriage. Could be they are overcompensating?

9. I saw this on another site

but the headline was slightly different and I had a moment of thinking, "Oh, she is engaged to someone old enough to be dad/a father-like figure/a step-dad" - most of which scenarios have their own creep factor - and then realized, no, she's been sleeping with her father. No amount of brainbleach is sufficient

11. This is the Nth thread on this sordid, ugly story on DU in the past

couple of days. Why are we so fascinated with such things? It's puzzling.

[LiberalElite]

17. Uh, because it's sordid and ugly, maybe?

If I had seen the other threads I wouldn't have posted this. There would be no point.

18. They will have their 1st born and we will still be talking about it. :)

13. So the "jolly" Christie (New Jersey Man) is going to marry his daughter???

[Warpy]

14. AFAIK, this isn't legal much of anywhere, "icky" being the basis for legal prohibition

and if it was in the US, it would have been Florida Man, guarandamnteed.

I just hope they go through genetic counseling.

[LiberalElite]

16. It IS in the U.S. -

click on the link in the text and you'll see she's described as being from the "Great Lakes region". They're moving to NJ where incest among adults is legal.

[Warpy]

20. Oh well

Let's hope their future neighbors don't read this article.

I meant what I said about genetic testing.

[LiberalElite]

21. Absolutely -

and if somehow the offspring are normal, in addition to a college fund for the kids, they should set up one for psychotherapy.

19. In cases of incest, icky is good enough reason to prohibit it. nt

[Ykcutnek]

24. Comparing the two is never OK. nt

25. I remember reading somewhere....

That this is a common (though not often acted upon) phenomena that there is a strong sexual attraction for reunions of long estrangement amongst opposite sex family members. Mother/Son, Father/Daughter. Creepy.
