Six Brothers Raped Their Sister For Years While ‘Christian’ Homeschool Parents Did Nothing

“You’ll go to Hell if you tell anyone,” her older brothers would warn. Sometimes they would also threaten to kill her. The sexual assaults began when the now-17-year-old girl was four, escalated into incest and rape at some point, and continued for a decade. After each assault, they would ask for her forgiveness....

And where were these siblings parents while this was going on? WAVY reports John and Nita Jackson knew what was happening and did nothing to stop it. In fact, they grabbed the kids and high-tailed it to Colorado when they got wind of the investigation. Luckily, the authorities caught up with the Jackson family and were able to get the girl talk with them. She currently lives with relatives. According to WAVY:...

The Jackson family kept to themselves and had very little contact with the outside world. They lived in an isolated mini-compound behind a tall fence and home schooled the kids. Even if the terrified Jackson Girl had managed to muster up the courage to ask for help, her opportunities to see it would have been extremely limited.

Huffington Post adds Perquimans County Sheriff Eric Tilley had some choice words for the Jackson family’s parents. He called them “bizarre” and said he believes they are “anti-government” and “anti-schools.”

2. "Purity Culture And Rape Culture Are Two Sides Of The Same Coin."

Another snip from the article:

Purity Culture And Rape Culture Are Two Sides Of The Same Coin.

It’s no accident that so-called “Christian” families like the Jacksons and the Duggars keep making headlines for sexual misconduct, or that so many GOP lawmakers get caught making bizarre comments about rape. It’s called “purity culture,” and it’s an extreme, patriarchal form of Christianity that fetishizes virginity and allows girls and women no autonomy or rights. In purity culture, a father has absolute authority over his wife and children, the children are home schooled to keep them from outside influences,and a female’s body belongs to her father and then her husband, but is never her own. Christian purity culture is basically a recipe for rape and other sexual abuse.

In her searing blog post, Dianna E. Anderson explains how purity culture and rape culture are two sides of the same coin:

I was raised with the idea that I didn’t have a right to my own body, and that I didn’t have the right to say yes until I was married, at which point I didn’t have the right to say no. My body was never my own, but rather the property of whatever man happened to ask me to marry him. My virginity was the most precious thing I had to offer, and it was my responsibility to protect it, and if I was coerced into “giving it away,” I would have to repent.

8. Think of the TLC darlings, the Duggars

Big brother sexually assaulted multiple younger sisters - including one as young as 5 - for a period spanning at least a year and a half. Parents covered it up.

3. Anti-human is a better label for those assholes...

burn 'em. This is the kind of thing that will stay with that young woman forever.

So sad, so sad. I hope she can find some love in her life that doesn't take advantage of her like that.

4. I know what I would like to see happen to these twisted, disgusting pseudo-humans.

5. WTF

I hate fundamentalists.

[Ilsa]

7. i self-deleted a post I had started on around 7:30, but didn't

For 30 minutes, so someone beat me to posting that second section.

I wonder how many neurotic adults have sought counseling after being raised this way? I wonder if psychologists have studied it and determined warning signs?

9. Rape/incest is an aberration, no more modern Christian doctrine

than it is legal under secular state and federal law. This is an extremely dysfunctional family, starting with extremely dysfunctional parents.

11. And the dysfunction

has its roots in fundamental Xtianity.

10. Mama was probably beaten too far down to do anything

but kinder, kuche, kirche. Parole with her husband and rapist sons in prison and her daughter hating her guts will serve justice fine.

The Big Patriarch is the one who belongs in prison. He can bunk in with the kiddies and spend the next 25 years of his life trying to explain to them why raping their sister was wrong while trying to keep up the fiction that their sister wasn't quite human and didn't have any rights of her own.

If there's one justification for reopening the old state mental hospitals it's "Christian" families like this one.
