Looking at some of the pictures of the family you would never think that the most horrifying hell is happening behind their closed doors!! It scares me to think this could be happening right down the street or in a town close to me.😱😢😟😡

What was their plan? Keeping their children in prison until they die or kids die?

What is disgusting is these kids, after finally leaving the Turpin cruelty prison under the California state child protective services continued to be sexually and physically abused by their new foster parents placed by the stated and paid money by the state (your taxes) for further abusive care. There is no justice for these poor sweet innocents ever! So unfair. Then society wonders why these kids turned out terrible…Duh….
There must be something done about the level of foster care abuse that goes on in the USA. Who the F*CK is responsible for these placements and diversion of funds in the state? Little suffering kids already tortured during their formative years when they cannot process anything receive more torture and abuse from their rescuers??? That is just sick! I honestly believe that as sick as it sounds, males who sexually abuse children should be castrated forever. I mean even after the media discovered the further damage when they were placed in foster care, why was nothing more done to protect the Turpin children, were the biological sick parents sentenced to more time in maximum security, were the parents castrated so they could never have children again? No. I cannot believe how the cruel and usual punishment laws can apply to violent criminals like these parents but never to the sick disgusting parents who torture their children in ways that damages the children for eternity. The children should feel safe knowing those who tortured them are treated the same way the children were treated, and in the case of rape or sexual abuse, each sexual abuser MUST be given the same abuse they gave to the children they abused. That is fair not cruel and unusual. I think if the case is close, or there is exculpatory evidence that the criminal did NOT commit the abuse, don't add the cruel and unusual punishment, but otherwise, torture the parents because these kids will NEVER recover from the abuse. My heart breaks for the Turpin kids and ALL children of physical and sexual and verbal abuse that will never be whole ever again. How does society expect them to rise above without a teacher, and the last teacher we had was a man/God who was killed by humans over 2,022 years ago. How is humanity expected to find its remorse and peace again.

Y’all.
There will be many times that if you feel what you you’ve seen was nothing dangerous just odd.
I live in Australia,I don’t know other countries laws but if you see a kid talking to someone in a van, someone acting bizarrely on the street in the middle of the night.
Report. It. Or takes notes like a persons number plate.
Chances are those situations are nothing. But keep in mind a lot these crime/abuse cases that could of been saved of that weird encounter or observation could be something more.
Be wary not paranoid but it doesn’t hurt even putting a license plate in your notes or reporting something strange ❤
(You can report to police without calling 911)
Might be common sense but I didn’t know that for a long time.

You know when a person says something is wrong are suspicious we want to be right and not cause problems for any one. So education on what to look for or what you see is key. Just a thought

we have also covered the story on our channel. Louise Turpin was diagnosed with histrionic personality disorder, which is characterized by extreme narcissism and attention-seeking behavior. It's so obvious on the photo this documentary begins with.
