Parents charged with torture held 13 children ages 2 to 29 captive
They were so malnourished they officers didn't even realize many were adults up to 29 years old.An investigation is underway in California after 13 siblings ages 2 to 29 were allegedly held captive in a home, some "shackled to their beds with chains and padlocks," the Riverside County Sheriff's Department said in a press release.
Two parents, 57-year-old David Allen Turpin and 49-year-old Louise Anna Turpin, were arrested in the torture and child engagement case in Perris, about 27 miles south of San Bernardino.
The investigation began early Sunday morning when a 17-year-old girl allegedly escaped from the home and called 911, claiming that her 12 brothers and sisters were being held captive there, the sheriff's office said.
Responding officers said the teen "appeared to be only 10 years old and slightly emaciated."
Even better there are apparently religious nutbars.
