Incest Freaks: Hey, It's Society That Has a Problem

You would think these nutjobs would have the common decency to shut up and lay low.

A FATHER and daughter who had a child together say it is society that has a problem with their incestuous relationship and they are OK with it.

John and Jenny Deaves from South Australia caused controversy after admitting on national television that they had a nine-month-old daughter together.

"It's everybody else out there in society that has the problem, we don't have the problem," Ms Deaves said on 60 minutes last night.

"If you've got something to say, say it for Christ's sake. Don't go attacking the kids or the car or anything else, it's not the Australian way," Mr Deaves said.

"We're sure once people get to know us they'll realise that we're not going to pass on any disease to them, we're not going to bite their head off and we're not nasty terrible people," Ms Deaves said.

The couple spoke last night about the death of their first child, Jackson, in 2001.

Mr Deaves said the death of the four-day-old boy from a heart defect had nothing to do with the genetics of their relationship.

"There's dozens of babies born every year that have this complaint or similar complaints," he said.

Channel 9's flagship current affairs program has been under attack after the station's news and current affairs boss admitted viewers did not get the full story on last week's show.

News chief John Westacott said that "on balance" the program should have included the fact that the couple's previous son had died.

How sick are these people? They have one child that dies and they go and have another knowing there could be birth defects?

Sick stuff.
