Do you think this is wrong then?

foster mother has baby with foster 'son'

she fostered him from 14 .. he's now 21

I saw that earlier and was freaked by it , they seem to think it's perfectly fine and normal.

My skin is crawling.VOMIT

No doubt some lily livered liberal will be along in a minute to tell us we are repressed, depressed or just constipated.

it is viscerally wrong though isn't it?

she was in locus parentis

its woody allen

Some people think the Woody Allen thing was fine. (Ok, I bet they're mostly blokes, but still!)

Its wrong, its a parental figure taking advantage and its got a very high yuck factor.

It's troubling and IMO it's wrong.

Agree with LGJ though, someone will be along shortly to tell us we need our sphincter muscles massaged with patchouli oil.

It's revolting, my dss moved in with us at 14, he was a child and in my eyes always will be my stepchild even if he is not my blood relation.

Hmmm, I'm pretty liberal, particularly about sexual matters, but I do think that people in roles of responsibility need to, well, keep it in their pants. So to speak.

no,, this is just wrong!
In the end she took on a parenting role, so, even if it isn't real incest, emotionally it can't be any different!

no liberals yet

Ebww Vale, say no more

nah - not good.... she was his 'parent' and now his wife.... yuk factor sorry.

That's really not for me to judge. I don't know either of them.

Not really my business.

He and she are both adults now and htere's no evidence that anything untoward occured whilst he was still legally a minor.

Not read the article but agree she was in locusparentis but if the relationship only started once he was an adult it's hard to judge. Far worse things happen. They are two consenting adults and I assume noone has been coerced.

Even though no laws have been broken, it is morally wrong, IMO.
I can't understand how anyone with parental responsibility for a person can later change to have sexual feelings towards them.

I agree about being morally wrong but still hard to judge. I dont think they should be held up as an example.

B/c she's NOT his mother!

And he grew up into a MAN, a legal adult capable of making decisions about who he wanted to be with.

How about step-siblings who fall in love.

Is that 'wrong' b/c they should only have sibling feelings towards each other?

Gimme a break!

Don't people have better things to worry about?

Is she still being allowed to foster?

Seems very very wrong to me. If they had met up years n years later then maybe, but this isn't like that.

Woody Allen was wrong too.

I think I'm just picturing my mum running off with one of her ex-placements and it makes me go ewwwwwwwwwwwwww

IME, a child fostered at 14 is likely to be quite vulnerable when it comes to relationships. That would concern me more than any ick factor I think.

But I don't know them.

I think it is wrong. As a foster parent she had a parental responsibility towards him and shouldn't have even been thinking about anythign else.
