I have been "sitting" on this story for a few days now; hoping it wasn't true. Hoping that maybe it was a hoax. It's not!! This case also raises some question in regards to "a just punishment" as all the children were victims of the parents "cult like" behavior;

Tilley described the family as "bizarre" and said he believes the father is "anti-government" and "anti-schools."
"The children were home schooled with very limited education," said the sheriff. "They were very private and the whole yard has a fence around it -- like a little compound. They're very different."

The sheriff of a small county in northeast North Carolina says he is "disgusted" by the parents of six men who are accused of sexually abusing their sister for nearly a decade, at a private family compound.
"I blame the parents for this," Perquimans County Sheriff Eric Tilley told The Huffington Post on Tuesday. "It's your responsibility as a parent to teach [your children] right and wrong. When you see a child doing something that is totally wrong and you don't correct them, then the child thinks it's OK."
Tilley said his deputies charged the six brothers, ranging in age from 19 to 27, on May 6, with a number of crimes related to the alleged sexual abuse of their 16-year-old sister. The sheriff said the alleged abuse began when the girl was 4 years old and continued until she was almost 15.
Authorities have identified the brothers as Aaron Jackson, 19, Benjamin Jackson, also 19, Nathaniel Jackson, 21, Mathew Jackson, 23, Jon Jackson, 25, and Eric Jackson, 27.
Charges against the brothers range from rape to sexual assault, according to Tilley.
The men's parents, John Jackson, 65 and Nita Jackson, 54, face charges of felony child abuse.
