The community is ashamed. They are kept swept under a rug rather than getting help from the state, like special education for Ray, who may have learned how to speak with intervention. I cant imagine the other health problems these people must have. I dont doubt that individuals within their community have helped them in small ways, but the community as a whole (and by that I could mean the state of WV) seems okay to just.. host their pets.

Those FLDS people at those two compounds have a rare form of some defect that there should only be about 50 cases on earth and in the Kingston Clan there are hundreds from the inbreeding.
@scratchedbycats
@scratchedbycats 3 года назад
It's kinda strange that the "melting pot" of the world is also home to sone of the most inbreed communities, and it all comes down to history, as I pointed out in a previous comment, people fail to understand how big the US actually is, if you take away the Coasts, you're basically left with this huge landmass that's basically many times bigger than Europe, and severely underpopulated, your next door neighbor is probably living 1h away, and it's probably a relative also, anyways casual inbreeding ain't that rare or bad (many famous people, not only royals, married their first or second cousins) the problems acurs when inbreeding is done perpetually, you know, like "double-cousins", when your parents are related and your 4 grandparents also related to each other, you share one set of grandparents with your cousins, if you share both its well, double. This is a problem not only in the remote rural us, but also in some other communities around the world, due to the same or different reasons customs, tranditions etc Strangely enough, each one of us has a level of inbreeding that is never zero. Anyways the people in the video are just folks in need of help, and their real problem ain't really the inbreeding, but rather POVERTY, as I already pointed out, the royals of Europe, the queen of England, Spain, Holland, Denmark, Sweden etc at a genetic level, are maybe even more inbreed than the folks presented in the video, and they seem fine... *As a sidenote I'm really amazed that people here, took the highroad and have seen the situation as it is.

The guy who filmed this is a complete and TOTAL douchebag....why doesn’t he do his next vlog in an Asian neighborhood about special education students huh? He is a pathetic and insecure idiot and everybody knows it now lol The guy who decided to film this had some really racist inferiority issues with White people. I see no other reason to invade the privacy of an inbred family’s mountain home. When a town has a population of 14 like most mountain towns do, this is inevitable and I’m afraid the insecure sap did it tastelessly out of his own deep-seeded insecurity, or because of the consequences of his own self-image while visiting the state. Something is better than nothing. The fact he projected his condescending subtext about how life and family shouldn’t exist if inbred, is extremely pathetic and shameful. Whoever made this useless and demeaning vlog is probably about as wholesome as a pile of dog shit. He can attempt to hide behind a “documentary” style video, but in reality he’s just a sad, SAD sack of shit, too insecure about himself for his consciousness to even realize. He probably thinks he’s pointing out the evils to being inbred, but unintentionally is proving White privilege is a myth.

At 4:18 when mark asked what he's eating Ray show's over he's sandwich, at 4:44 when his sister asked him to come out on the porch, he does, at 5:40 when mark says he lost he's older brother Ray first points at the ground (maybe to say that he's d3ad probably buried) then points to his exact location where he's buried 10:55 , 9:50 when asked if he remembers his brother and misses him, he nods, he also tried saying something by moving his hand. Ray seems to understand everything but slowly, he was happy to be acknowledged and had so much desire to communicate, the only time he didn't respond was at 11:50 when mark said he's gonna leave, Ray seemed sad. Their executive functions, their ability to manage themselves haven't developed enough to meet task requirements usually expected for a person of their age. Clearly, this is negligence and lack of resources and medical attention. Ray has alot to say, it would've been different if someone could've taught him sign language.

I know right. This is very fascinating. The only thing I can think of that reminds me of these people is the movie "Wrong Turn". I went to high school with a couple of people who were brother and sister. They allegedly were incest bred. Their mom and dad were first cousins as well. As a young kid they would scare me because of how they looked. Years later I got hired at a local hotel as the Housekeeping manager in my town and I interviewed and hired the sister and her daughter. Her daughter was deformed just like her, unfortunately. This lady and her daughter were great workers. They were better than most of my regular employees. They however, ended up quitting because their co-workers would laugh and stare at her and her daughter. I tried to get them to stay and offered to put them on a earlier shift in my laundry department but they didn't want to do that. I think about her and daughter often. I say, shame on people who are relatives and decide to get together and have kids. It's the poor kids who end up suffering the abuse from other stupid people. These kids can't help how they were conceived.

There’s another video on RU-vid of the dangers of cousins marrying, happened somewhere in Iran. They had 5 children all but one was severely mentally handicapped and blind. There’s also anther family that had four children all of them walked using their hands like dogs, they were brother and sister I believe. It’s DNA not nationality.

I'm wondering if his special needs or as Mark said "mental illness" is actually autism. My 13 year old son is nonverbal autistic, yet vocal. He is not inbred but I can see where autism can be more common with inbreds. With genetics, our chromosomes pair off in a programmed fashion while our nervous system develops. If their trying to pair up and too many are identical because mom and dad are brother and sister, they delete themselves almost like it's short circuiting and concepts don't fully form for example, especially in communication. But it can happen more outwardly in appearance also. Like the lady with one blind eye.

Many of Ray’s mannerisms, and his apparent echolalia of the dogs around him, reminds me of my mostly nonverbal, autistic nephew. My nephew benefits immensely from going to school and working with speech pathologists who teach him how to communicate meaningfully, whether it’s through symbols / pictures, gestures, or some speech. It’s tragic to see his elderly man with so many similarities to my nephew and to wonder what stories he might be able to tell if he had access to the tools and support my nephew has.

My aunt had a brother had been injured (I think by a fever but not positive) as a baby that could talk but was handicapped mentally, and sometimes when he would have trouble it would take some puzzling to figure out what he meant and he'd point at something but it would take a bit to figure out how it fit in.
