Court records show this isn’t the first time Patricia has married one of her own children. She also married one of her sons in 2008. However, court records show that marriage was annulled in March 2010.
Sounds like it was a tax scam. Or that is one freaky nasty lady.

Perhaps it's just the Tennessean in me, but I don't really see the harm in incest amongst consenting adults.
It's icky, but so is most of the shit y'all do.

Exactly. Yes there is the risk of birth defects in kids that are born to immediate relatives, but that usually doesn't occur until you have several generations of inbreeding.

lol no, it happens on first generation of inbreeding.

Also Tennessean here. I agree, this case looks fine, she didn't raise her. But that law should still be around to prevent abuse by a person of power (parent). The article says she also married one of her sons but that was annulled 2 years later.

It's not like they are able to reproduce together. Probably should have just stayed out of the limelight by not getting married.
