Michigan Mom Found Long-Lost Son Online, Raped Him
(my sincere apologies for the Fox link)

Michigan police say a 35-year-old mother used the Internet to track down the son she gave up for adoption a decade ago, seducing and raping the teenage boy when she found him after an online search.

Aimee Louise Sword of Waterford Township, near Detroit, was arraigned this week on three charges of criminal sexual conduct for the alleged rape of her biological son, whom she put up for adoption more than 10 years ago, MyFOXDetroit reported.

Prosecutors say the boy is still a minor, but won't disclose whether he knew the woman was his mother — a situation that has horrified mental health experts who are calling the case "an abomination."

"I don't think I've heard of another case like this in my career," said Dr. Gerald Shiener, chief of Consultation and Liaison Psychiatry at Sinai Grace Hospital in Detroit.

"Our first reaction to hearing about something like this is that this is every man's nightmare. It's an abomination," he told MyFOXDetroit.

"I'm at a loss for words because it's something that we consider to be so out of the normal, so prohibited in every culture that it unnerves every man just to think about it."

8. I'd say so. First, it isn't porn news. It is a mental health
related issue. This woman has got to be insane. She not only still needs help, which obviously no one realized, but now, because of her, a young boy will need psychological help also. Damn.

Someone posted on here the Chinese media is full of shit like this, most of us assume that Chinese media is a bunch of state propaganda. Nope most of it is news porn. It is a hell of a lot easier to keep the public distracted with outrage and dumb behavior than what the government and business is up to.

22. Not much point, but it's always an interesting sociological...
...experiment to see the difference in reactions between a female aggressor/male victim story and a male aggressor/female victim story, with the predictably far less outraged reaction to the former.

In recent thread about a father groping a nurse while the father's child was being delivered, someone casually suggested that the man be taken into the emergency room to have his "gropers" cut off.

So far no one has suggested that this women be maimed, shot, disfigured, boiled in oil, or even jailed for life and hopefully raped often by her fellow inmates. It has been suggested that she "needs some help".

30. If it were a man that did it...
yes, because then it is an indication of the evil paternalistic society we live in. But THIS!? This is just news porn at best, an attack on all women at worst!

5. If Fox for once put out the unvarnished truth, this woman sounds
like she needs to be committed to a mental institution. I can't imagine any woman with a sane mind doing something like this.

9. imo, a confounding data point to the "we don't legislate morality" meme
because i know VERY few people who think incest (between consenting adults) should be legal.

and if the birth defect argument is used, just use same sex incest. no birth defect issues there.

it is a sexual act that is nearly universally viewed as repulsive. and few would legalize it. thus, criminalizing morality.

7. Wow! There was a reverse story like this--father tried to seduce daughter on facebook
http://www.switched.com/2009/10/12/man-accused-of-propositioning-teen-daughter-on-facebook/

In a case that would make even John Phillips blush, a Lancaster County, Pennsylvania man has been accused of sexually propositioning his own estranged 13-year-old daughter on Facebook. 39-year-old John Forehand was one of five accused online sexual predators recently arrested by Philadelphia police. Forehand, who hadn't been in contact with his daughter for 10 years, allegedly proposed meeting her for sex, telling her that "not many other fathers and daughters are this brave, so not many of them are so lucky to experience all these pleasures." (Ew.) He also called himself "Bad Daddy" online. The girl, being, um, normal, told her mom about it, and authorities arrested the man at the place and time that he had proposed to meet her.

13. But what matters is whether she's hot or not.
'Cuz if she is, she was just doing the kid a favor, right? Like the occasional hot teacher busted for raping underage boys?

Also to say - yep, already at least one person claiming "mental illness" made her do it. So tell us, Sukie, is "Bad Daddy" from post #7 also a victim of a mental illness he couldn't control? :eyes:

15. and this is why the United States went from one of the world's
most productive societies to the biggest gluttonous debtor nation in the world.

In the 1990s you had to turn to Jerry Springer to hear about this nonsense. Now it is what the MSM sells.

17. Interesting. If innocent, I wonder who filed the charges and if they were filed to keep them apart.
Just because charges are filed, doesn't mean that the person they are filed against is guilty.

19. If Fox News put this on the air, it must be important because
this woman is a registered Democrat.

There is no other national significance I can see.

24. It is a terrible thing to do to any child..
Edited on Tue Oct-13-09 02:46 PM by winyanstaz
It happens to little girls a lot that their daddies rape and molest them..and we don't see it on the evening news much.
Two of my sisters were raped by my stepfather (one was his own child)..and it never made the news and..not even when years later we finally got his ass thrown in jail was there more than a small sentence in the news.
The outrage is that it is a woman that did this to her child. (of course it is a terrible outrage but my point is...hundreds of little girls around the world are attacked every single day by their dads and there is not the uproar that happens when a mom hurts her children.
Dads kill their whole families a lot..women only sometimes and yet you will see the bigger outrage if it is a woman gone off the deep end.
Perhaps it is that we don't expect it so much of women.

*edited for speeling :P
