Wako California parents tortured their 13 children aged 2-29 & chained them up like dogs to beds
|
Another neighbour, Kimberley Milligan, who lives opposite the family, said: "The older kids, I thought they were like, 12, because they looked so malnourished, so pale."
David Allen Turpin’s parents, James and Betty Turpin, said they were "surprised and shocked" by the allegations against their son.
They said the children of the 57-year-old were given
"very strict home schooling" and were made to memorise long passages of the Bible,
| however they were also regularly taken to Disneyland as a family.
California police said: "Deputies located what they believed to be 12 children inside the house, but were shocked to discover that seven of them were actually adults.
|
"Further investigation revealed several children shackled to their beds with chains and padlocks in dark and foul-smelling surroundings, but the parents were unable to immediately provide a logical reason why their children were restrained in that manner.

Authorities learned about the children’s horrific ordeal after one of the siblings, a 17-year-old girl, escaped the house about 70 miles east of Los Angeles and called police.
The pair have been arrested and charged with nine counts of torture and ten counts of child endangerment.
Neighbour Andrea Valdez said she had seen the children before, but joked they were seen as a "vampire family" because they were "really, really pale" and "only came out at night".
