This is baffling, the hell with these people and their dead lunatic eyes.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/15/us/si...ornia.html

Quote:A 17-year old girl who said she was being held captive by her parents in her home in Perris, Calif., escaped on Sunday and alerted the authorities, who then rescued her 12 siblings — several of whom were found shackled to their beds — the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department reported on Monday.

The officers did not immediately recognize that seven of the 13 siblings were adults because they were so malnourished. The sheriff’s office said that the 17-year-old girl who called 911 looked to be 10 years old.

Their parents, David Allen Turpin, 57, and Louise Anna Turpin, 49, were both arrested on charges of torture and child endangerment. They were being held in jail with bail set at $9 million each, the authorities said.

California records show that Mr. Turpin had received state approval to run a private school, the Sandcastle Day School, at his home in Perris. The school enrolled six students this year, in grades sixth through 12th, and Mr. Turpin was listed as the principal.

“We remember them as a very nice couple,” [their bankruptcy lawyer] said. “This is shocking.”

Yes those are the eyes of people possessed by demons. Very lucky that little girl was able to get to a phone.

Evil evil mother fuckers - I'll bet this is some religious cult shit going on.

Maybe even some incestual shit also.

This is a huge local story for us.

Officers found the girl’s 12 siblings — who range from ages 2 to 29 — in the foul-smelling house, living in the dark without access to adequate food or water, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department said.

Don't even know what to say.

It's not like it's a big house on a sprawling piece of property in the middle of nowhere. 13 people out of a family of 15 live in a suburb and just never go outside again for long enough to become severely emaciated, and nobody notices.

Parents quoted as saying they talk to them often, but hadn't visited in five years or talked to the grandkids in a good while.

Blows my mind.

EDIT: http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me...story.html

Quote:Kimberly Milligan, 50, who lives across the street, said that when she first moved in she was told by a person doing construction work on her home that the family had 12 children.

At first, she said, she would see a woman with an infant, but she eventually stopped seeing the child.

Over the years, she also occasionally saw three children who looked like pre-teens coming out of the house to get into a car with their parents.

A lot about the family struck her as strange, she said. The children she saw were very pale. And she often wondered why, if there were so many children in the house, they never came out to play.

Once about two years ago, she said, she came across the pre-teens putting up Christmas lights at the home and said hello.

“They looked at us like a child who wants to make themselves invisible,” she said.

On Monday, Milligan was struggling to grasp how the alleged cruelty could have gone unnoticed in the neighborhood.

“We’re not acres apart,” she said. “How did no one see anything?”

Several neighbors recalled an incident several months ago in which a number of children were out in front of the house late at night working under floodlights to put sod in the yard.

The most amazing thing about this story is that it is not in Florida

Wow... They just popped kids out and disabled them to have an army of servants and nothing more. Talk about complete diabolical psychopaths.

The reference to the 17-year-old girl who looked to be 10-years-old reminded me of an old, harrowing news story that was known as "Genie, the Feral Child."

Most of you are probably too young to remember this one. Heck, this is even before my time, but it was still talked about when I was growing up. Here is a story from a UK paper that details the life of Genie, a girl who has held in total captivity by her mentally-disturbed father.

Speaking of all things "disturbed," if you get upset easily at really awful stories of child abuse, don't click on that link. Genie's father made these parents look good by comparison.

^ I saw Mockingbird Don't Sing, a 2001 film about the Genie case (albeit with all the names changed), last year. It's not a movie to watch for entertainment, let me tell you.

Saw what you want about him, psychological issues aside, that's a true natural alpha male there.

His wife was clearly a hottie in her prime. This man has game.

There was no happy ending for Genie.

Child abuse is one of those things that stirs up unending amounts of hatred for the perpetrator more than anything else in this world for me.

May they rot in hell.

We once had a conversation where you stated that you firmly believed that when people are rich enough to afford to do so, it should be acceptable, normal and easy to bribe the police to avoid responsibility for their anti-social behavior.

Do you still believe this to be the case or have you backed away from your previous belief?

Anti-social behavior up too and limited to things like bullshit speeding tickets or perhaps drinking a bit of whiskey from their flask on the street or in a park(perhaps watching the sunset like I usually do).

I'd hate for you misrepresent my views as condoning what I would consider literal crimes against humanity.

I don't think even the most corrupt of policemen(I'd like to believe) could allow for this to happen with a clean conscience.

But we can leave that discussion for our usual chats rather than derail this thread.

Thanks for clarifying.

Is this true???

If it is, this is repulsive. "The teenagers were so malnourished, they appeared years younger." There's a place in hell for these people that committed this crime.

Post: #22

Not to mention how do you even find a "reproductive" prime to spawn 13 children then develop a psychosis to chain them all together, then put that plan into action?

Post: #23

How on earth did they finance all of this? Even if they keep the childrenen enslaved and malnourished it's still a lot of food and space that needs to be covered, and neither of them are mentioned as working.

EDIT: I l just read that it's California. Explains a lot.

p.s. bet that this will be used as some sort of anti-homeschooling propaganda too

Post: #24

Do you know how many years this "plan" would take??? For whatever it's worth (nothing). The fucking gestation of 13 children, then incarcerating them for no apparent reason. Then you hide them, somehow... And then for what? What is the end game?

"California" kinda explains it, though.

Prediction: The woman will claim that her husband abused her and threatened to kill her if she gave away his scheme. She'll get off with hardly any prison time. He'll go away for a long fucking time.
