The family were charged with incest and child neglect. Police discovered the living area of thirty-eight members of the family in the bush, living under squalid conditions in tents and shacks, on the outskirts of Boorowa. Over the next year, police tracked the family down and, after obtaining an understanding of the living conditions in the family's encampment, put several children in foster care, including Bobby (Betty's son with her younger brother) and Billy (Betty's son with her older son). The child overheard the girl state that one of her sisters was pregnant and they did not know which of her brothers was the father. However, an official investigation was not opened until July 2012 when a child reported overhearing another child at a local primary school speaking of an unkempt girl, living in the bush, who was pregnant with a child fathered by a brother. Knowledge of the family came to authorities in June 2010, which led to seven "risk of significant harm" reports. They sometimes performed as a musical band. The police ultimately discovered nearly forty members of the family living under squalid conditions in tents and shacks. They relocated to New South Wales, thirty kilometers outside of the small town of Boorowa, three and a half hours southwest of Sydney. Starting from the 1990s, the family was known to frequently relocate between South Australia, Western Australia, and Victoria before locals became suspicious of their activities. The family received multiple social security payments, including disability and family support. Betty and her younger brother, Charlie, had twelve children together.

The case has been described by lead investigator Peter Yeomans as "like nothing I've ever seen," and was considered by many to be so shocking that, in a rare move, the New South Wales Children's Court allowed full details to be made public, albeit with all names changed to pseudonyms for the children's protection, including the family name of "Colt." Relations with outsiders Īfter the death of June in 2001 and Tim in 2009, the family was led by Betty Colt. They had no access to running water, showers, toilets or hygiene products. There were incidents of the girls being tied to trees and raped by the boys. In order to hide the pregnancies, the girls would sometimes miscarry on the farm, or fatherhood was attributed to outsiders from outside Australia coming to the country for work or tourism. Most of the children had fungal infections. Ĭhildren and adults had regularly engaged in sexual activities which conceived children, some with genetic deformities. Some children tortured animals, mutilating their genitals, as a pastime. School attendance was transient and happened only when welfare officers visited the family, and children needed remedial teaching once there. Many of the children suffered from deformities and medical problems. The family grew to nearly forty members ranging from grandparents to mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, aunts, uncles, nephews, brothers and sisters, all engaging in various forms of incest. Tim formed a musical band with his family.
In 1997, Betty, wanting to know if June could donate a kidney to a granddaughter, found out that her mother June was inbred.
Tim Colt began to rape Betty when she was 12. The couple had seven children together: Martha, Frank, Paula, Cherry, Rhonda, Betty, and Charlie, before moving to Victoria in the 1970s. June, who was the product of brother-sister incest, married Tim in 1966. "June", born in 1948, and "Tim Colt", born in 1943, were originally from New Zealand.
