Thank you...I did find this from AP
Severe, emotional, physical abuse, Riverside County District Attorney Mike Hestrin said in announcing numerous charges against David Allen Turpin, 57, and Louise Anna Turpin, 49. This is depraved conduct.
Prosecutors filed 12 counts of torture, seven counts of dependent adult abuse, six counts of child abuse and 12 counts of false imprisonment against the couple. David Turpin was additionally charged with one count of a lewd act on a child under age 14.
The victims range in age from 2 to 29. The charges involve acts in Riverside County dating to 2010.
The torture and false imprisonment charges do not include the 2-year-old, Hestrin said."
My point remains the same - these headlines are sensational, and for no other reason than to garner clicks.
I am wondering if the lewd act is on one of their children or a child outside the family?
They didnt specify the type of assisted living. I magine they will have case workers who will be involved. Here we have stages of involvement, from in-house 24/7 care, to home care, to a follow along program with a case worker who sees them 2 or 3 times a week and teaches them to clean and shop and bank.I take your point. However, in some states, there has been growing awareness of the needs of kids who "age out" of foster care at age 18. A kid with a stable family, even if they move out at age 18 still has a family for back up, may still be on the family phone plan, have a parent paying college tuition, etc. Locally, the mental health system was becoming overloaded with kids who fell apart when they lost their foster kid status. So, as a solution, there have been various things talked about or put in place. One is extending foster care to age 21. Another is to provide an assisted living variation (especially if the former-foster has a baby) to help ease the transition. So, my hope would be that this is the kind of help they are getting. Not the same exactly as what you are suggesting (an actual FAMILY), but still could be in something like the same ball park.
Hey there!! It was the 17 yr old that escaped not 29. And there is a count for the 2 yr old.
But it's quotes like this from DA, yet here we have 1 going to CC and accounts from neighbor of one driving Jetta, and most of all a 17 yr old who cut screen, escaped and used a non working phone to call 911?
