Once Louise couldn't love the cuteness of infants and toddlers, the children became "things." Yes, slaves to do as she and David demanded. You begin to wonder if Louise, David, or both of them were tied up and chained as kids? In other words, was that the only form of discipline that they knew? Beatings and torture? One of the sisters of Louise claimed that over twenty years ago, David and Louise picked her up at the airport and were "glad to see them." The home was very clean and well-kept. I am not so sure that I believe that. But even if that is true we would be like at a 1998 time frame.
Aren't there two sisters in Louise's family? Maybe more. I heard that another sister said that Louise always was the way she was. Assume this to mean controlling and manipulative. Louise and David built their religious beliefs on what they valued from multiple religions, even discarding things in each faith that they didn't like. The world was meant only for them. And David is rumored to say to her, when he abducted her at sixteen from high school and the drove to Texas to elope. "I can give you everything you ever wanted." Conceited little manipulative Louise, even as a teen, found her Prince Charming, who, as it turned out, fed off of each other and had the same delusional beliefs of what life represents. Everything evolved and revolved around David and Louise only. How to raise a family, and have no interference from the outside world who isn't family. They would believe outsiders are satanists anyway looking to destroy their dreams of a controlling, robotic, family, who will do what we want, when we want.
Was the girl who tried to escape before who asked about getting a driver's license and a job, the same one who called 9-1-1? I think the first escape was back when the Turpin's lived in Texas. Than within a week or so, they moved to California. I think that is when the ropes turned to chains and padlocks. It could be that neither the parents or children knew what proper discipline was. Grounding, Spanking, Time-Outs, and revoking of privileges. Tragically, maybe the only form of abuse the children knew were beatings and torture.
