AUSTRALIA - NSW 14 Siblings Rescued from House of Horrors

[sleepinoz]

Fourteen siblings, including a baby, have been rescued from a 'house of horrors' as their parents are accused of abusing, torturing and locking their children away.

The children were removed from a house in suburban Sydney after the two eldest daughters, who are in their late teens, secretly recorded the alleged abuse and emailed their school requesting a welfare check.

The children, boys and girls ranging in age from several months to 19-years-old, were allegedly fed 'pet-quality' meat, whipped, beaten, and not allowed out of the house.

I read the DT article about this just now. That, too, doesn't give a time period when the parents were arrested. But it must have been a little while ago because the siblings are now set up in a different residence, all together, with a 7 seater vehicle, and clothes provided by a big clothes drive for them.

The DT article says that the neighbours had considered interfering, but had opted to mind their own business.

Yes, from the DT article it seems it was a while ago.

The next few months were a whirlwind for the children. Poor kids.

Kudos to those girls taking responsibility for all of their siblings.

The children's mother, 44, and father, 55, are facing multiple charges of assault against their children, as well as allegations of child abuse, indecent assault, stalking and intimidation.

'We were whipped, tied up to furniture, and could never leave the house except to go into the back yard,' she told Daily Mail Australia.

'I remember a few outings when I was younger, to a park and once to the beach, but as (her mother) had more children, that all stopped.

'We didn't have TV or the internet, and the only books we had were school books and those for children under five.

'We were supposedly home-schooled by (her mother) but the only way you could learn was if you taught yourself from the books...'

The teenager lived in several different houses with her large family, with three main residences within a 10-minute drive of one another being the addresses where police allege the bulk of the offending took place.
