I'm back, most of my kids are tucked in bed now. I am just speechless with this and frankly feeling rather inadequate. Thank you all and please be patient as I figure out this site a little more.

I am just overwhelmed by this response. Ive been very discouraged these last three years. Maybe, just maybe, brave heart Turpin may save more than just her 12 siblings with her courageous escape.

So, you are all quick. You've found much of what we have been doing including the Bill we tried to pass in order to put some sort of protection in place for these children. As far as I know Hephzibah House is the only non-underground school left that uses full lock down and complete...

Sadly it does not work that way. we have to have an escapee or a family member of a current victim make a complaint and that just cannot seem t happen. There is no record or file of who is at the school at any given time so we cannot make complaints on behalf of ghosts. The few girls or...

Your the best! Thank you.

I imagine those kids overheard a discussion about getting new phones and watched and waited until the new phone arrived, then systematically searched for that old phone in the house perhaps as a group (whoever was not shackled at the time. When they found the phone they would have had to hide...

Hephzibah House there are about 12 girls locked up in his basement right now.

This, precisely. IMO

Staff of websleuths are all out with the flu and I am too new to start a thread myself it seems. It may be a couple days

That sounds like a similar place.

Really?? Wow. I'm still trying to figure out how to start a new thread, apparently I need permission and right now it is homework time and dinner prep time for my tribe. I am so excited to have collective sleuthers on board to help these girls, but I want to be careful not to derail the...

Indiana Winona Lake/Warsaw

Working backwards~I know I missed some posts. The name of the institution/school is Hephzibah House. It is in Warsaw/Winona Lake Indiana USA. Can I start a new thread or topic on it?

disgusting

Exactly! I am a tall big boned gal who looks gaunt at 160

It would not mitigate in any way what they did.

Thank you. No, this institution still exists. a little private gulag run by the same monster who was there when I was a child. He no longer starves the girls and claims he no longer uses corporal punishment (severe bloody beatings they were, actually) I have devoted my life to trying to...

forgive my fixation here on the food. I just have this idea about kids subsisting on say 1200 calories a day would need every bit of that to function. They would not have glycogen reserves or fat reserves so any drop from that minimum standard would put them quickly into crisis mode.

I tend to agree with those who say the food depravation ebbed and flowed. I don't think they were ever overfed, but sometimes their food was more adequate and sometimes they were forgotten or being punished and went days with nothing but cans of sausage or nothing at all. Ive seen pictures...

Selectively refeeding him would not diminish his hunger when presented with a buffet table of food. He may have put on three pounds and be nourished enough to walk and study now....but still famished physically and mentally
