Woman molests son with the use of Facebook.

[Tom Phoenix]

Thank you, internet. You have added yet another reason for me to dislike Facebook in the already lengthy list of them.

Is it wrong that I'm surprised that she's kinda hot??

No, not really.

That kid is one lucky ************...

Punage aside, it's natural to assume that child molesters are hideous freaks, and that because of their repugnant looks they have to prey on naive children as they could never attract anyone their own age.

I hate to be the one to crash the "EWWWWW!" party, but there's a very good explanation for why this happened - and it's not particularly rare, either.

It's called genetic sexual attraction. It's a common occurrence when long-lost blood relatives are reunited. They frequently describe the attraction as "an overwhelming rush of emotions combined with the irresistible sense of falling in love". This attraction is likely based on mirroring (attraction to our own characteristics in others) and a confused desire for closeness given the natural family relationship was disrupted by separation.

So yeah, it's a hardwired reaction, which is why it's usually a very bad idea for a mother and a son to reunite, unsupervised, when both are entering their respective sexual primes. Their emotions, combined with their hormones, easily overwhelm any sense of wrongdoing, especially in the absence of persistent social markers - such as the boy's adoptive family.

Anyways, here's a good way to think about just how powerful this attraction is for these people. Think about a guy or gal you're extremely attracted to for no good reason. He/she might be cute to the rest of the world, but you think he/she is gorgeous beyond compare. You're drawn to him/her in a way you cannot fully describe - almost like you were meant to be together. When you're around each other, everything just "fits". Sounds a lot like true love, doesn't it?

Well all of that works perfectly within the context of a mother reuniting with the young man she gave up for adoption some ten years ago. He's unrecognizable as her "child" now, and she didn't see the progression. All she sees is a young man who mirrors a lot of her own characteristics, and for whom she feels an undeniable urge for closeness. When two adults (grant me that he's sexually mature) have that sort of connection, the expression of said "closeness" typically involves the horizontal mamba.

Look it up. Plenty of sob stories about long-lost siblings or parent/child pairs where one or both develop obsessive feelings after reuniting for the first time.

Sidebar: it probably doesn't help when she's a certified hottie.

Somehow it just makes perfect sense that Farnsworth would be the one to know this.

Did she know he was her son?

 

[CJ1145]

Did she know he was her son?

Tracked him down through Facebook, so yes.

 

[v3n0mat3]

Lord that's creepy.

 

[Chancie]

Yeah, I read about this this morning. Absolutely disgusting. -_- And I can't believe it never crossed her mind that sleeping with her own son (and knowing it was her son) was wrong!

 

[DaMan1500]

Well ain't that a corker.

 

[EHKOS]

Well I don't really feel too bad for the boy...I mean, did you see her picture?

 

[silver wolf009]

Well i dont see how facebook helped but this is sick.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Wait... what? o_0 Now I have yet another reason to avoid Facebook.

 

[GackleBlax]

When I'm 18, I'll find my mom and do the same thing. Is it that wrong if you didn't know eachother for your whole life? I mean, if you were raised by her, it would have been different. But, that's really romantic.

 

[Escapefromwhatever]

I wonder if she told him that she was his mother, or if she just pretended to be an interested older woman.

 

[Cid Silverwing]

What the fuck is wrong with people...

I couldn't possibly agree more.

 

[Baldry]

Could be worse! Oedipus.

And its so wrong its weird.

 

[Tharwen]

How? How does someone find their siblings or kin sexual attractive. Seriously something is fucked up with her.

Because most people grow up with them and think of them as relatives (meaning that we're naturally put off by the idea of a relationship with them). This woman had only seen him as a baby and would have subconsciously thought of him as a different person.

 

[darkknight9]

Is it just me and my perverted mind kicking in or did that mom look pretty hot? I condemn her for the acts she did but still she doesn't look half bad.

Quite attractive.

 

[are.you.the.god.its.me.vader]

Hahaha. it's funny because the kid is going to be scared for life.
