The author of privatefamilymatter.com believes acts of incest, between birth and 13 years old, are torture.  The  dependency of an innocent child makes them a captive, unable to escape. 

• Incest is the highest level of child violation.
• The memory of incest is a life sentence.
• Incest is betrayal.
• Incest is a criminal act if the act is with someone 13 and younger.
• The bad person who has sexual contact with a blood relative or legally adopted member of the family, 13 or younger, is called an Incestous Pedophile. 
• Incest is like hunting fish in a bowl.  A child has no place to run, no place to hide. A sexual predator stalks the home openly, without question.  There is little fear of discovery. 
• Incest is the leading cause of teen suicide attempts & suicide, substance use and abuse and multiple addictions. 

Incest creates "chi-ults" a child-adult. The adult physically matures but will remain emotionally frozen at the age when the first acts of incest took place.  (Applies to all acts of child sexual contact)  This causes poor choices to be made throughout their life since they can't move past their trauma.  Examples of this can be seen in prison inmates, repeat offenders, who continue to commit the same crimes but expect different outcomes. 

Breaking through the emotional barrier created by incest is difficult and painful.  The journey must be taken in order to move past the emotional block and develop into a fully functioning adult.    Permantly altered from who you were born to be but able to function on a basic level.
