GOOD MORNING AMERICA'S HOMEPAGE:

The haircut alone should at least get him 20 years
Stefan P 😂
Stefan P lmao nice haircut did you save your receipt. Idk how a woman could smile while looking at him like their pictures of him and his wife unless she's literally laughing every time
let's see your hair,hater..ugh
Lmao agree add 20 just for the hair
I hope they chop that hair while in prison!!!!!!
I am so grateful to the 17 year old who was strong enough to leave and seek help!!! She ended an era of extreme suffering for so many!!!
C A Campbell this is so heartbreaking that the kids had to go through this
C A Campbell and ashamed of the neighbors who did nothing
She had more guts than all the adults who watched and didn’t help.
She’s so brave I’m so proud of her ♥️
That must have been so hard and scary.
👏
I'm 11 and I'm 98 pounds. I weigh more than the 29 year old. I feel really bad for the children.
I hope you guys are joking about your weight right now because I’m worried for you.....
I’m 12 and I weigh just 89.
Emerald Minecart I’m 12 and I weigh 86 pounds I should be concerned but okay- (I eat regularly so I don’t have any disorders or somethin so yea and I do a lot of sports so yay that’s fun)
Sizable Trash it depends on your height and your age
I'm 11 I weigh 105 pounds I way way more then that kid
Mother and father: “I’m so sorry I did that **cries** “
Me: “You fake son of a-“
Oh hi me! How are you?
Lol
Ikr
The scary thing is there are probably hundreds of other people being held captive right now that the authorities don't even know about!
MC BIZZLE I was thinking that too! I feel so awful for them.
its sad, if only pychos like these didnt exist
oh no...
Probably thousands tbh
You are so right.
I love how everyone saids “something is not right” “something is going on” but did nothing about it.
ALWAYS! People say the same things over and over after every tragedy!!!... Like WAKE TF UP!!!
Nobody cared
rangergun alot of the times things may seem a bit weird with a family or someone but people don't have enough evidence to call the cops. What if nothing is wrong and you call the cops ?
I think many people deal with things like that all the time, like saying "I'm not trying to be mean but you're a dumbass" or "I was about to help but I just can't". I guess saying shits like that will make them feel better after they regret on not doing something or did something so I always won't take them serious.
If i saw kids marching around for hours id call cps
I like how they pointed out he never changed his hair style lmao
David Turpin sported that same bowl cut in his high school photo. He should have had another five years tacked on for that ridiculous bowl cut that he still has.
Update: February 22 2019 they plead guilty to the charges.
Thank you for the update!!!
I mean it was kinda obvious they were gonna get charged.Just imagine everything even the smell
Thx for the update tho
The dad be looking like the character from Dumb and Dumber
Bailey Pate and the mom,a low budget crack head😒
Shaggy took Scoobys death real hard
Bailey Pate no he look like the masterminds
Ron lol 😂
Which one. Lloyd?
When you start dressing all your kids the same its time to start asking questions.very cultish.
actually this was kind of big in the late 80s and the 90s i remember being dressed just like my brother with matching clothes lmao i grew up in ghetto ass hemet california so it’s not just a cult thing tho i agree it’s weird but some parents see it as cute or some shit so idk
Blaszczyk, you're the idiot. Being against Satan does not make someone a 'religious bigot'. Why would YOU want to take chances with your soul by defending Satan or anything that even a child could identify as Satanic?
Oh, brother. Celess21 was referring to the oh-so-dark-and-edgy user name Lightning Lodge 666, with its accompanying five-pointing star. Members of the Masonic organization wouldn't imply that secret membership in a public user name on social media unless they're really stupid, lying to appear badass, or both. Society's already going to hell; professing Satanists don't need or deserve any more of a platform than they already receive. I don't get butthurt about any irreverent person calling me a 'bigot' just because I hate the Devil and think it's wrong and disgusting to promote Satanism. I don't need to care about what the world thinks of me. I need to care about what GOD wants for me.
Maybe YOU should open YOUR mind to the Holy Trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Please. There are people of color all over the world who embrace Christianity. I'm not telling you you HAVE to be Christian, but I'm not going to go against my beliefs and tell you there are a million other paths to salvation, just to make you feel better. And my previous comments attacked only Satanism. How dare YOU tell me to be 'open-minded' about 'doing what thou wilt being the whole of the law'. That is selfishness and hedonism that leads to pandemonium and God's wrath. I will NEVER explore or condone Satanism, Islam, New Age hoodoo, Wicca, or Joel Osteen's anti-Christian prosperity gospel. Don't presume to know about my upbringing, either. I was raised by a secular Jew and a lapsed Jew-turned-atheist. I love my parents, and I respect the Jewish faith because Christians have their history in Judaism, but their secular beliefs had little to offer me in regard to life's most meaningful questions. I'm not angry that I had to seek my own way as an adult, though, or that my mother was too heartbroken to attend my baptism. I found the path that is right for me, and better late than never, and my faith has enriched my life. You, however, cannot deny that Christianity (and Judeo-Christian values) are being mercilessly attacked in Western society. The Bible predicted this fighting and division, tearing friends and families and communities apart, and the End Times when people care more about wealth and fame and pleasures of the flesh than they care about living a life to glorify God. Rant some more about all Christians being bigots, if you must, but we only care about the spiritual welfare of misguided adults and the poor children raised in Satanic and pagan families who insist on spreading such sin in the name of 'open-mindedness'. But don't waste your time, because I won't return to reply to your tripe.
The neighbors should be ashamed of themselves for ignoring the stink that’s was reported coming from the house.
Because it wasn't a black family, they would have called 911 if they even had a dream about it
29 year old woman?? she stayed in that mess?? the 17 year old is bold
She was so badly brain damaged from malnutrition she currently needs a caregiver 24/7. In fact both the eldest children need 24/7 care because of the malnutrition...
PR Ty Ty she is a hero. But man she's a horrible singer look on UA-cam it's pretty damn bad. If she was getting abused she sure had free range to internet UA-cam stylish clothes and makeup and the bathroom was very clean. And makes me question what was really going on in that house
DD Bears what’s her UA-cam name
What’s her UA-cam
@@ddbears3686 I'm not believing that
I’m so sick and tired of hearing people say “I saw something weird,” or “I saw this one happen one time and I thought it was weird.” WTF! U see something SAY SOMETHING! Especially the sister who stayed with them. She could have helped prevent the long years of hell these children went through. 😡
@søsad nice pfp and name
I’m with søsad here. Plus toxic parents can eat to the heads of their children, maybe even threaten the life of them self or another in the family.
D Lo _trigered_
Oh my gosh yes!! I feel like people were too scared to say something in case they were wrong or they thought “it’s none of my business” but seriously this could have been stopped years earlier if someone called the police just once!
Same here! What sort of jerk sees his neighbor forcing kids to "march in circles at midnight for hours" and doesn't call the police?
Wake up people there are more families like this out there!
Chill E.D. My mother and her husband were like this hella closely. I dealt with abusing and starvation for 5 years. I ran away at 17 and escaped.
@Shaniya Carimeal 1-800-422-4453 to report it, or call 911.
Yup especially in my country 👌👍
It happens everywhere and abusers are good at hiding their secrets and pretending to be loving parents so it's difficult to distinguish them in the crowds.
My narcissist father caused me to become emaciated as a child. Yes their is some majorly unfit parents out there.
Imagine being almost 30 years old and being held captive by your parents for years. Something is wrong with those people
Imagine having the same hair cut for 40 years
It's no excuse to become a sociopath even if you were abused. looked at Louise's sister she never became abusive. My mother and father are victims of abuse,but they love me and my sister with all their life. My parents have genuine love for forgiving their abuser. If you've been abuse just know the future is ahead and you can make the future bright.I hope I made someone's day.
I read that even the 7 adults were mentally undeveloped. Most of them didn't even know what the policemen were when they came to investigate the house
Underground Shelter Male
I'm having déjà vu and I still don't understand your comment
Which 7 adults?
@@erinistryingherbest There were 13 of their children in the house, but technically 7 of them already were adults when found.
I do blame the sister; I do blame the neighbors; and I do blame a system that permits 'home-schooling' unregulated so that this kind of parenting can continue for decades without any interference. People just don't want to get involved. They can say whatever they want on camera, but they don't really care. And, if there is a God, I suspect they will also be judged for their sins of omission.
Finally, someone who see’s this. Those people who saw shit and cowardly sat back are pathetic. They see kids marching back and fourth at 4 am for hours and say nothing? Useless. I hope they burn for it. They all had no problem gossiping to each other, and looking, but couldn’t be bothered to help
Weldon Mix yes these ststes that dont require home vistiation are the ones that these religious fanatics and child abusers move to so they can say there homeschooling but that just a good excuse to kerp kids isolated and torchured home schooling should br outlawed except for kiids that have medical problems that would stop a lot of abuse teachers are required to report any physical abuse
Weldon Mix no kidding....reading the book. The sis talking, grandparents, neighbor...all saw the abuse and stayed silent. NOW the want their moment of Fame. Sick.... not just mom and dad.
Tuco Salamanca
I am marching through my hours for hours too. No one comes lol.
Its not unusual to see kids marching. They could be playing or roleplaying whatever. You don't think automatically that these kids are prisoners in their own house
Lolita Subliminals Wtf???? From 12:00-3:00 in the morning? All the children? Even the youngest? Routinely?! Fuck off, “Lolita”
I was abused as a CHILD and I would never hurt my children. No excuses to be a monster!
Exactly. My mother was abusive but that doesn't mean I'm following in her footsteps.
thank you for breaking the cycle ❤
I fear I won't as I still harbour a lot of anger and resentment. I have chosen to not have children for this reason. Thank you for being stronger than I ever could.
@@bigdickdolly I'm so happy you are brave enough to accep that. The first step is working on yourself before even trying to start a family. I made mistakes and wasn't prepared but I did the work and thank God my family is 100 times better than mine was.
Note to self: If you move into a house and there is scratch marks on doors and walls...find out who the hell own it b4 and have the cops investigate. My heart is heavy rt now. So many red flags people missed.
Seems to me that the sister knew something was wrong and she didn't do anything about it
It sounds like she knew they were controlling. I'm not sure what anyone is supposed to do about that, because it is not illegal to be a controlling parent.
@@squirrel_of_mistri8565 no she knew more then that she said while she was living there they made the kids stay in their rooms all day and only come out one time for food and before sitting down they would have to smile at the mother and wait for permission to sit down to eat then go right back to their rooms. She said the mother was the one in control the father kind of sat back let her lead until things became even more strange when she would take showers she would lock the doors because her sisters husband seemed weird but her sister would always open it then her sister and her husband would stay in the bathroom while she showered until she was done they watched her come out of the the tub naked when she couldn't take it anymore she left according to the sister oh but she wanted make it clear that she never witnessed any physical or sexual abuse towards the children and they never touched her sexually while they watched her come out tub or any other time she witnessed weird behavior that she never though to report so yeah that sister is a piece a shit
Most people when experienced on where found to prefer to be safe than courageous! That’s why crimes still happen.
She knew what was going on, by the way she is talking in the interview she doesnt seem concerned.
wow if just one of those people who "observed this behavior" had alerted someone!!
Johnna Marcus her family ain't shit , they dropped the ball on those kids 😡 how could they not know, shit do you bring birthday presents, Easter baskets, a day out at the park, cause if I couldn't do those things with my niece and nephew there would be hell to pay for sure, weak ass people 😡 I'd check on the safety of the sisters kids cause she looks like a person that's not in check with reality 😡
Emily Rivera yup
even the sister could have stepped up she knew there was something wrong
Johnna Marcus. You can't just go shoving your self into everybody's business, it's called a right to privacy. If people want talk to shit, then grow some balls, walk up to the house and tell them you need to see what's going on or else. If you are not going to do that then keep your tail tucked and mind your business.
I don't think you need to judge those people because of that. It seems like every person that knew about some sort of suspected behavior the couple had thought that he is probably wrong, and didn't want to inform the police about that. Most people would probably do the same if they were in the same situation.
Imagine not even being able to trust ur own parents
Those neighbors and the sister who did nothing should be ashamed of themselves.. oh but they are all happy to speak out now aren’t they!?
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing” Edmund Burke
Adults where I live are all mandatory reporters.
Maybe they were terrified? Have you ever been in this situation?
It puts a smile on my face knowing that they will rot in prison.
Hope the other prisoners hear about this sick story and recognize them.
Daniel Benavidez Jr. you know the courts will say (they were victims themselves and need therapy blaablaablaa) 😒
I hope they take their meals every day so they could starve
Daniel Benavidez Jr. I hope the inmates give them their own private blanket party...
danielangel vega no way. This story is way to publicized for the judge to let them get away with the torture of children. The public will backlash.
Corrections Officers will usually let the word out, go to another sector and allow inmates to deal justice
I feel bad to whatever state lawyer was assigned to them
the jury too :(
On the contrary this Is a public defenders dream you know they are gonna lose, but if they do a good job they will have the pick of any district attorney's office they will ever wanna work in just for the publicity alone.
So just feel bad for the jury they Are picked.
Just a different spin on your statement
I drove through Paris, California on my way to a raceway with my family, I surprisingly actually passed by the house and there is so many balloons, bears, cards, books, etc. I always think my parents are harsh but after watching this and googling it, I feel like I have the best parents ever and they are harsh because they want to protect me. God bless these children. ❣️❤️
This case terrifies me. I don't understand how wrong your mind must be to do something like that to your children. My heart hurts for these kids :(
I wish through the foster care system I could adopt one but I believe with all my heart they all need to stay together as siblings
ComradeD0ggo not many people are able to take in 12 kids
I think that about 7-8 of them are adults, so hopefully someone will adopt the other 5, much more likely than adopting 13 kids
Diana Lorch I think every child, adult of age or not is underdeveloped. Mentally and physically and so foster/adoption for all of them is probably required for a certain time before the adults are allowed to live independently. It breaks my heart to think the conditions these people were kept in and subjected to, especially from such a young age.
Every child deserves a parent
Not every parent deserves a child
Looking after a person (let alone 13) is a hard task, people need to understand and accept their abilities to care for someone
They moved to Cali because they’re OBSESSED WITH DISNEYLAND!!!! These ppl are absolutely BATSHIT CRAZY!!!!!
I can’t even begin to explain the feelings of anger, disgust, sadness, and just plain shock that anybody would do such horrible things like that.
I agy100 percent. Scum bags
The absolute audacity of those parents to claim 'not guilty' knowing full well what they did.
Why are all of these people speaking up NOW?!!!
This is truly disturbing to me. If you SEE something that isn't right (children marching in the middle of the night...) something that YOU KNOW is wrong... Call the Authorities!
I know people don't like to pry or try to make sense of it but when there are Children involved I'm sorry but you don't have that luxury.
If 1 person had just called the police and said "something just doesn't seem right. Please check on these Children", it would have saved these children and the mental illness they will now have for the rest of their lives!
It's amazing how people will call the Police in a heartbeat if they see an Animal in a hot car but not for the things that are seen or heard of in cases of Children!
TruthSeeker08 A kid can open a car door, a dog can’t
I not when the child is chained up!
Use some common sense!
Agreeeed!!!!
I Aren’t you smart...
TruthSeeker08 us a lot more
The parents are definitely sick to the bones! Hoping for the children's long recovery. But what gets me is that none of the neighbors even reported to the police all their suspicion about this family. We need to be more caring to our neighbors. Let's get to know them without getting too nosy. Let's not put ourselves in a bubble.
Lowell Dizon I’m am such a asshole for saying this,but ( It wouldn’t surprise me if the eldest child would commit suicide) too much was done,I do pray I am wrong 😒
danielangel vega nah its a legitimate concern. they've been through so much. I wouldn't blame them
“Getting too nosy” is doing things like calling the police on your neighbors when you notice something kinda weird I sometimes notice kinda weird things my neighbors do too but I don’t think they’re holding a family hostage in the basement I just think “oh that’s a bit odd, anyway”
I read somewhere that the neighbours didn't even know that the family had so many kids as they never saw them. I might be remembering wrong though.
Lowell Dizon I agree a little bit more control and contact with you neighbors is a good thing! But in this case I don't blame the neighbors, I believe they didn't know anything that was going on in that house. They didn't even know how many children their were cause they hardly came outside. I do blame however the sister and the grandparents, they knew something was off and they did nothing! And now they're giving interviews? It feels like they're trying to make it up for themselves or maybe there is a chance of making some money out of this tragic situation. Sorry to put it so bluntly but These family members "STINK"!!!! And please I hope they are not allowed to adopt any of those kids.
how convenient that the aunt now speaks out when the media starts broadcasting it. there’s no way she didn’t know what was going on inside that house
What is so sad is that these former neighbours say they noticed strange behaviour yet they did nothing.
The sister said they had a pretty normal life, is being sexual abused as a child normal ? I don’t think so this lady’s story does not add up. West Virginia is a totally different type of state any, I’ve heard too many stories about West Virginia
kvicks916 i think people that have been molested dont realize how serious it is bc this happens when your a child & this is what you know.. Its such a shame.. There are untreated mentally ill or just vicious demented people EVERYWHERE. My heart hurts for the kids..
West Virginia is for lovers. Love your cousin XD
SUGAR XYLER no no no Virginia is for lovers. West Virginia is for Incest. True motto.
Her sister didn't commit any crime. She is related to her and that isn't her fault so Idk why you and other people are giving her sister-who is a victim of sexual molestation/abuse as a child a hard time.
ObedienceIs Enslavement I'm a furry and I'm offended!!!
I hope they get passed around in prison. Evil sick people.
TURD DUCKS explain.
Hoping they get the Pearl Fernandez treatment.
The amount of people throughout my childhood who knew things weren’t okay in my household pisses me off. It’s no shock to me that people knew something was wrong but did nothing in this case.
Are you ok?
Same. The system doesn’t care enough
I'm so thankful the 16 17 year old was brave enough to do this. Most kids in situations like this are to terrified to even try. Very brave girl.
It bothered her but the Aunt never called the police?
Just imagine that they're could be many more "familys" like this all over the world
Could???....IS
Families
I Hate Child Abusers! In the End they are going to sufferrrrrr!! Scumbags!!
@@jessicacole8404In my north side....... 25million peoples are there. A pig living there which abuses like Turpin.
So many failed these children.
1. Their parents
2. This Aunt that stayed with them one summer
3. Texas authorities
4. Teachers in Texas when a few of the older ones got to go to school
5. Neighbors in Texas and California who saw signs and turned a blind eye
"If you don't stand up for one thing you will fall for everything!" It a took a courageous 17 year old girl who became that 'voice' for her siblings. She advocated for them and herself. SHE wanted to LIVE a healthy life. One different from the house one she had been trapped into. God bless her and her siblings.
Heard about this when Philip Defranco covered it.
I hope these people rot in jail. Some people should not be parents.
Edit: didn’t expect so many likes omg.
X DailyBookVlog ...well they cannot be considered as parents. They are “genetic factors” instead. Their behavior toward causing injury upon injury to every child makes them criminals, not parents.
sheila sheehan we call it "genitor" actually.
That being said, it doesn't excuse them but it's pretty apparent they have extreme mental health issues. I'm thinking something like folie à deux.
X DailyBookVlog i agree
X DailyBookVlog ok
Well i hope they die terribly. Jail is too good for them.
Dad going for insanity defense haircut.
i know i shouldnt laugh- this isnt funny its so sad, but that was really funny
Love how they roasted his bowl cut 😂
The fact he didn’t change that terrible haircut for like 30 years is a red flag
What's more disgusting is how her sister is speaking out now but did t even make a call to the police to do wellness checks on the children, I mean I get she went through stuff but damm 😡 I went though thru stuff as a child and because of it m super protective and aware of the potential harms than can arise, I am the mouth of the family when shit don't look right I step In And regulate situations whether it's my biz or not, for my family I go hard, those poor children breaks my heart that nobody can to their defense, how the fuck you an aunt and can't see the kids, I just don't understand 😡😪🙏🏽
Emily Rivera she said she hadnt seen them in a decade and at the time they just seemed really strict.
Emily Rivera You idiot. She was her sister and she knew her sister was very strict. That's all it seemed to be. If you were in that situation, trust me, you would NOT call the police and most likely waste tax payer money simply over pure paranoia.
Lol paranoia okay "idiot" since that's the language u understand hmmm your comment alone makes u sound like one and yes call the cops but ain't it funny that tax payers will now support these two in jail.
You sound like a nightMare.
Yeah, I hate how this sister is ALL OVER THE MEDIA now. Apparently she's not even thinking of the long-term impacts her blabbering might have on the kids, who will definitely see these videos at some point.
29 yr old kid. 89 lbs!!!
karey lester I think it said 82
karey lester There’s no such thing as a “29 year old kid.” That’s just another tactic/excuse by white America, so they won’t have to accept accountability for anything they do. Meanwhile, certain 12 year olds are considered adults in this country.
It's horrible. I'm 18 and I'm twice the weight!
They comitted some of the crimes in Texas, so trial them there and give them the death sentence..
Juuk nobody died. So they wouldn’t get the death penalty
A 29 year old?!! They didn't let her have a life!!
Do not send those poor kids and adults to any family members
I don't get why none of their family member rock up to the house to visit or anything..like if you haven't seen your daughter, son, sister or brother for a long time why don't you go check up on them or anything then you'll realise what been happening in the house
sky luna srry that's horrible
sky luna my dad died last month and my mom is a mess and manipulators are trying to get my dad's ssi/survivor benefits for alcohol and cigarettes when my mom is tying to get braces for me. I never imagined people doing this kind of stuff, and my mom is dying from all of the stress from people trying to use us
sky luna ok love best wishes ❤️
Idc what the Issues where between them with having 13 kid's I'd definitely stop by peek in no matter what the situation is.
When you have narssactic personality disorder you tend not to care about anyone but yourself.
Those poor kids have gotten better care and attention by the hospitals in one year than by their own parents in their whole lives. God bless those kids, and I hope the parents get everything they deserve.
i feel so bad for the children. no kids (or anyone) should have that life. but i’m very proud of the oldest one who said something. 💖😭
The bowl cut is hereditary.
Ohmy bama Recessive peoples’ obsession with Black people is extremely hereditary. It’s encoded in their struggle genes.
Wtf?

true
Kudos to the 17 years old. Because of her bravery, other siblings are free of everyday torture.
As a child who suffered abuse similar to this , except I was an only child and the abuser was my mums ex partner. So many knew something wasn't right, I told people, our child protective services in NZ had over 30 reports from people scared for me . And they interviewed me 2 times. Of course, being an afraid child I lied to cover up what was happening even though it was obvious and they are trained to see that. They left me in that hell and closed my case. Until my mum thankfully finally left when I was 11 . Now, at 28 . With a wee blessing of my own. I can't fathom my child going through any of the pain I went through. The physical abuse was nothing compared to the emotional abuse . I wish the system helped me and they certainly failed me . They fail a lot of children, so happy in this case they got them out
I’m so sorry that this happened to you. Peace ☮️ & Love & Strength to you as you continue to heal
♥️
I'm very proud of the children that escaped, and i formed authorities. It's difficult to understand their behavior parents don't do that...but they do. I'm sorry for the children that experienced, this horrible abuse from their "parents"
MECHA SLYTHERIN Nah, they didn’t cause their own abuse.
/G\ LIGHTNING LODGE 666 you are the kind of person who would do such a thing to children you show absolutely zero empathy for these poor souls and what they’ve been through. For you to be able to say that I genuinely think you’re a sociopath or psychopath
Sasaki Haise you no good uncarring devil to say something like that about these abused kids
I have a sister like her they're called narcissist
Patrick DeCambra This is distinct from narcissism.
What is narcissistic mean? Sorry
Poca Figureoa Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a personality disorder in which there is a long-term pattern of abnormal behavior characterized by exaggerated feelings of self-importance, an excessive need for admiration, and a lack of understanding of others' feelings...etc. that's the definition.
Yo You shouldn’t be comparing your own sister to someone crazy like her
Anna Brennan Narcissist Personality Disorder is a mental illness. It can vary in its severity all the way to sociopathy. (Psychopath) Sounds like an accurate diagnosis to me.
You can just look at them 2 and you’d know that they’re creepy
People need to hear others when they say they’re being abused. It shouldn’t need to get to the worst possible point, where escape becomes hard. I’m glad these girls were not forced to return.
Sad thing is,As of this moment their are other children being held captive..Please keep an eye out for the poor kids who are still prisoner's
that is so true
what??? really? why are they still being held captive?
lol i'm your hope What i mean is somewhere in this country there are kids being tortured..
Joe Batimore you are so Wright and most are not going to school but are being under the disguise of home schooling did you ever notice that most of the ones you hear about these religious fanatics and abusive parents are living in states that dont require any kind of visits to see how the children are doing in there school work therewould be a lot less abuse if states were stricter on homeschooling
Why zoom in on photos of blurred out faces?
Kevin Cato 😂😂😂
Kevin Cato it's so that we can all get a good look at Princess Jasmin's weirded out expression. 7:56 ... awkward!
lol
Imagine going through this for 17 years, poor kids
Bless the sister who got them all help.
So many clues, and no one calls CPS or police or _any_ authorities to say, "hey, I think something is up with this family. I know they have children but we almost never see them leave the house, and there is some suspicious behaviour, and their old homes are left in a state of filth." Christ, people.... SPEAK UP.
I usually don't leave the house, the suspicious behavior one is a good reason. Kids marching outside could be anything, however. You'd have to be a peeping Tom and look through their windows
Or hire a private investigator
THE HOUSE SHOULD BE BURNED TO THE GROUND AND TURNED INTO A MEMORIAL GARDEN,
Jerry Crock that’s a dumb ass idea, the house should be sold and the money should be put into a trust that can gain interest for the kids well being
The kids are not dead.
75 offences??? Holy moly! That must be guinnes world records worth of offences 😱😨😰
How could somebody not noticed a family of 15 people never being outside
Clearly Louise is All about Loise!!! This is a disgusting and disturbing story and Louise’s Sister should be ashamed of herself!!! She is just doing this for her 15 minutes of fame!! She did nothing to help these children in 29 years to help one child!!! So she needs to shut her pie hole and everyone else that never stepped up!!!! How dare they all get on tv and start talking smack now after the fact!!! Where were they when the children NEEDED THEM????? Get off the band wagon!!!
These children need all the help they can get and they don’t need the family that wasn’t there for them!!! The Aunt sounding so unaware of what was happening!!! 🤔😳
May god give these children the courage and strength they need to move forward and find happiness ❣️❤️💜
I honestly think they're just trying to cover their asses
Yes!Thank you!
Lisa Kostelecky thanks couldnt have said it better
@@jessicacole8404 that's exactly what the sister's doing when she explained what she saw when she moved In she made sure to point out that never witnessed any physical or sexual abuse towards the children just weird behavior.... 😐REALLY!!!
The 13 kids were malnourished and filthy but the 5 goldfish were well fed and had clean water
That new home owner who didn't report the state of that house to CPS should be ashamed of themselves. Even if it were from "animals", children were living there under those conditions and that for sure is a major red flag for neglect and abuse.
My question is what did they plan to do with the children ????they couldn't let them leave ....ever ...I shudder to think about their plans for the children ...so sad
Pamela Esters Well, they have babies, and the mother is menopausal (based on age). So more than likely the dad was raping the girls.
not your phone?
Pamela Esters 😢😣
That son knew what was coming thats why he fled to get help.
AHAYAH LIVES wasn't it a 17 year old girl?
That dude looks like Coconut head from Ned's Declassified
Tony Nguyen lol spot on
Hahahaha this is great , definitely spot on
Don't disrespect coconut head like that
I hope those kids recover and get the therapy and help they need it makes me sick to see how parents can treat there own kids like that.
How nice that the family members are coming forward now that they're being paid to do interviews on television. It's a shame they weren't so invested in the lives of these children during the years that they were suffering.
It's the hair cut of the dad just creeps me out
Ray Vasquez
That woman's smile on her mugshot creeps me out. When they showed her mugshot I immediately thought "that woman is evil."
GhostGirl21502 i thought the same
Carson Lee hi ghost girl
Ray Vasquez hi
GhostGirl21502 why are you a ghost
I'm a Nosey neighbor, that if I saw some CRAZY SHIT like seeing kids at 2 in the morning marching and found those F-up pictures DAM right I'm doing Something...some one could of done something this is Terrible...
what were the pictures? sorry if i am three years late i just heard about this story
I would have called CPS.
The horrible aunt never alerted the social woorkers ??? She is guilty somehow !!! 😈😈😈
just seeing that family together makes me suspicious. The parents' faces SCREAM either "Karen" or "I commit child abuse."
I loved watching them at the hearing, they both look terrified and worried... GOOD!
Mike Carter yeah, I also thought mr. Turp. Looked vewy gwumpy... "I'm not Getting My WAY!!! What happened to my sick power trip!!???!" Don't know if I've ever had such profound antipathy, as i have for these 2, for any person other than Hitler...
I think he knows he's in deep shit but she seems oblivious. Totally out to lunch. I wonder if the ladies at the correction facility are putting her straight! Hope so!
The running theme here is....*isolation*. David Turpin seemed to insist on isolating the people around him, preventing them from having normal contact and interpersonal relationships. That is from what I've heard, one of the FIRST signs of some pretty horrible abuse to come. IMO, he wanted no other eyes on his family, he wanted free reign.
This is unbelievable story. It's time to think about the world that we live in and help people for have better one if we could.
I pray the childern will all be safe and the rest of there life will be loving and healthy , and wonderful
*I don't even know him,..& I can tell that something not right with **#Him**.. just from that stupid ass haircut* 😒 & that face is just making the situation worse
Hezakya Calmwind yup

😕 what the hell is all those numbers suppose to be??? a computer virus??? I don't understand that so I tell you what...put that *almighty American DOLLAR SIGN $* in front of those numbers ..(I can understand that)
Odin31b
Yup
That's why the school system should be held accountable because they evidently didn't follow up with the adult kids
The adult children especially break my heart. I hope that they are rehabilitated by a family member or caregiver, who can allow them to still feel like a child navigating their way in this world, while they try to transition into as healthy an adult as they can.
Wow, they could keep journals, but weren't taught to read or write much. Jordan couldn't spell her second name....perhaps they could draw pictures depicting their pain. This is one of the most haunting account of abuse I've ever heard, blessings to these children.
Tell there fellow inmates what they did leaves them alone for 24 hours.

One day, one of the kids is going to post "I'm ____ Turpin, and this is my story"
Check abc news, 2 of the sisters have come forward with their story
Cracking up at "sporting same bowl haircut..."
When you noticed "something is not right" and did nothing about it?? Now you people are coming out?? You want to help NOW??
OHHHH, they're from West Virginia..........That explains things
As a West Virginian. I can confirm this comment.
Haha! I thought the same thing!
what´s wrong with West Virginia people?
all of a sudden the neighbors and anyone that suspected something wants to now speak out 🤦♀️ could’ve saved a lot.
This is gonna scar the children for life :( hope that they'll use this experience as an encouragement. Like rich people who started from nothing. This will be a great story someday
The father has same hair cut as Captain Kangaroo
Patti Soares I know, right! I always thought Captain Kangaroo was creepy but this guy is like his evil twin!
