Police Say Mother Tracked Down Son She Gave Up For Adoption, Then Raped Him

[CatWoman]

Police have accused Aimee Louise Sword of searching out the son she gave up for adoption a decade ago and raping him. She has been arraigned on three charges of criminal sexual misconduct. It's unclear whether the boy, a minor, knew she was his biological mother. Sword insists she is innocent.

The case has shocked authorities, and mental health experts say this is the worst-case scenario for the boy. Dr. Gerald Shiener, chief of Consultation and Liaison Psychiatry at Sinai Grace Hospital in Detroit, told MyFox Detroit that he had never heard of a case like this:

4. Wow, that title kind of leads you on for a bit

just reading along nicely, oh hey a happy story about a woman reuniting with her long lost so . . . what!?!?

[vaberella]

5. Well...Freud was always a bit weirded out by how prevalent incest was.

I don't think he'd be surprised and neither am I. I'd be more surprised if the Republicans voted with 50% support for anything Obama proposed.

6. Why do they not reveal the boy's age?

Either she has some very dark religious beliefs, or....

This is a baffler.

[flvegan]

20. Another article published earlier states he is "now a teenager" and "a minor"

so he's between 13 and 17, I would guess. Though I think age of consent differs in some states to 16 or something. Not sure. Regardless, it's f'd up.

7. I feel icky for even clicking on the story....

More media porn for the masses disguised as nooze.

31. A nationwide adoption service that's been around for decades.

They place a pregnant woman with a foster family while she is pregnant and picking out her adoptive family. The Nation magazine did an expose on how unkind and pushy they are with unwed mothers, practically threatening them to make them give up their babies. An ugly business.

23. guys joke about this but i am remembering threads males are pissed if a single woman jokes

about a glued penis. forget all the males alughing, they arent called. forget all the men that laugh at prison rape, go after the females.

but here you are making a joke about something very sick and very wrong.

where do you see the humor in this?

[d_b]

24. a glue penis?

wut?

I think you've mistaken me for a pc liberal who gives a shit about what you think.

[seabeyond]

26. i added the d for glued. dont give a shit. obviously. your humor, .... pretty disgustin. nt

[BJ10]

22. Wow...

WTF was going through this woman's mind?

[renate]

30. hard to imagine... but on a more cheerful note--

Welcome to DU!

:hi:

[Brickbat]

25. Some more information from a questionable source that clouds the issue quite a bit, if you're still

interested in such things:

Guilty, proven innocent, etc.

[seabeyond]

27. well, interesting. fox story should ALWAYS be indentified. BUT... so

coerced. her son coerced her into having sex with him

a huge ass

wtf

and what, shhe is off the hook

wow

[McCamy Taylor]

28. Police may say that...but that does not make it true.

[anigbrowl]

35. No, let's talk about people like they've already been convicted. It's what the cool kids do.

Then we can have posing contests where we try and out moralize each other by thinking up extreme punishments for people who haven't been convicted in cases we know almost nothing about :-(

Seriously, I am totally against the US practise of IDing and publicizing people who are accused of crimes before they go to trial. If the person is a genuine risk to the community, don't grant bail - I'd rather we spent more money on judges and courts to hold the trial quickly than that possibly innocent people are branded as criminals.

[seabeyond]

39. i will agree. so many of the stories today on the "news" would never be heard in the past

i think it is so unhealthy and wrong in different ways that all stories are available for world consumption.

[JVS]

33. Whoa! What a sick fuck!

[DollyM]

34. I thought records like that were closed until someone turned 18

Of course, I guess with the Internet it is not difficult to find anyone anymore but you would think his adoptive parents would have somehow protected him from his birth mother who is obviously nuts. I wonder if this was a forced termination of her parental rights because of her mental state in the first place. Not enough information here to know.

36. Aimee Louise Sword did not rape her “10 year old son”

http://www.unfictional.com/aimee-louise-sword-did-not-rape-her-10-year-old-son

The story is all over the web: “Mother hunts down ten year old son to rape him”. She’s been arrested in April this year and faces a maximum of 15 years in prison, apart from the fact that she will be a registered sex offender for life and never be able to find a job again. Dr. Gerald Shiener, chief of Consultation and Liaison Psychiatry at Sinai Grace Hospital in Detroit said in a Fox News interview that this was by far the most heinous crime in his career, which included a serial killer that slashed people’s throats. Michigan’s 35 year old Aimee Louise Sword was initially charged with three cases of rape of a minor, but this was quickly reduced to a single case of “Third degree criminal sexual conduct“. She is free on a modest bail. Aimee set up a MySpace account under the name of Aimee Pope, and we use some of her pictures here with the best intentions. We took that liberty because the mainstream media is doing the same, with the goal of making advertizing money off a hyped-up salacious scandal story full of deliberate errors and omissions. We did what the journo’s and sensation bloggers should have done and dug for the truth.

You know what, this shit is none of my business. And it doesn't affect my life. But it is salacious as hell so by all means, lets watch with bated breath as this plays out in the public arena. God knows we don't have anything important to concern ourselves with.

[seabeyond]

37. she was "coerced" by her son to have sex with him.

unless he physically held her down and raped her, .... coerced doesnt work for me.

he is a kid. she is the adult. he is a son. she is the mother. that is incest.

[LiberalAndProud]

42. You'll get no argument from me on any of that.

I could pass judgment on every player involved, but what would be the point? I'm done with this story. It is obscene. And the public display makes it more so.

[seabeyond]

43. agreed. not to mention the misstory that started teh thread. nt

[JI7]

40. Statutory Rape, and he is 10 which i don't believe is legal in any place

[seabeyond]

41. aricle says he is 15? she gave him away ten yrs ago, at 5. if i read article

correctly

[LiberalAndProud]

44. 15.

The boy is 15. Please see my previous post.

[JI7]

45. sorry about that, i just noticed the quotes around 10 now, but is 15 legal anywhere ?

i have heard of 16 in some places.

either way it's her own son. even if she didn't raise him it's just .................
