Physical Anomalies Of Whitakers:
Mark’s observations revealed many things. The first was that the mental health of three members of the family was not very stable. For instance, Ray used to grunt throughout the day without a reason.
Furthermore, Timmy and Lorraine also were not sane people. The financial situation that the household was in was poor. It was shocking that someone could live like that.
Research suggests that an abnormal state of the body and mind comes from having children that are inbred. In addition to the cognitive impairments various mental illnesses and heart-related issues are a common occurrence.
The Causes of Inbreeding in West Virginia
There is a belief that the practice of inbreeding that took place in some parts in West Virginia were the causes of the extreme poverty. Old photographs give an impression of the shabby and the poor conditions of children.
Today, the anti-incest statute prevails across the majority of West Virginia. However, this does not stop breeding to this day. In different regions, people are legally married to their first cousins and carry on the practice of interbreeding
Mark Laita offered the Whitaker family meals and cash to show his good intentions. Mark Laita writes about it to be honest about my interactions to the families, I gave them soft drinks and pizzas and also paid them nicely and it can be a big help in southwest West Virginia where the average annual income is just $12K per year in certain counties. This was my fourth time visiting and I’ve presented the family with an annual financial gift.
Conclusion:
