My Dad died in early December, and I've unearthed a nasty secret while cleaning up/out his house. What do I do about this? Importantly, do I tell my Mom, who is also elderly and quite sick? (mom is in a nursing home and has been essentially quadriplegic for about 20 years). There's no real 'right answer' but I'd like people's responses.
Details below the cut.

I'm trying to find a piece of artwork I saw printed in a magazine. It was a detailed, life-like pencil sketch, or at least a primarily black and white image with some pink shadings. Subject matter revolved around skewed father-daughter relationships in evangelical Christianity. The piece showed multiple father and daughter figures layered upon each other stretching across the frame. No background. I think it was a baptism being performed, the father baptizing the daughter, and the father's erect penis is shaded in pink, transposed over the daughter's figure, portraying this baptism scene as an act an incest. Suffice to say, it's a controversial piece of art. I think the artist is a woman, and she may have done a series of pieces on a similar theme. I feel like I saw the piece printed in The Believer or Vice magazine, but I may have that wrong. Probably was printed two or three years ago. Anyone know this artist?

I was looking at
this chart of the ancestry of Charles II of Spain. There are quite a few uncle-niece marriages in his family tree. Presumably, at the time, this was permissible under Spanish or Austrian laws. When did uncle-niece marriage start to be considered incestuous in Europe?

I have two children. One is a male teenager [17], and the other is an infant girl. Soon after my daughter was born I discovered that my son had been looking up porn fiction on the net. I was disturbed by the content.
