What dark family secret/family history have you uncovered?

When I was young (think 10-12) I got on my brothers computer and found a bunch of weird pornography. Basically underage stuff. He would have been 16 or so and at the time I didn't really know what it was or that is was bad. A few years later I came home from school to find out the police had bashed in our front door, raided our house, and took everything electronic. My brother was off at college but at the time they pinned it on my dad. Everyone was so confused. My parents are very religious so the hundreds of christian books, quotes, and pictures made the cops have a lot of mercy. Some how my dad was able to talk them into forgetting about it if he destroyed my brothers computer he had left. Was an odd time. Our phones were tapped and we noticed vans that were outside our house watching us. We ended up canceling the internet for a year and living an odd scared year of little media.

But basically I accidentally discovered child porn on my brothers computer which eventually led to a horrible family crisis.
