GUILTY CA - 13 victims, ages 2 to 29, shackled in home by parents, Perris, 15 Jan 2018 #12

Hopefully they will get money from it because they need money.

Call me jaded, but I do wonder if this is a reason why the estranged siblings/cousin proclaim (sudden) interest in the welfare of the children. I'd like to think there's genuine concern there, but after the declaration of "not my sister anymore" and seeing how one sister has a little exploitation going on in her latest book...

 

[FelicityLemon]

I just have to wonder, how is a 2 hour tv special about this case, any different than multiple discussion forum threads, or multiple comment threads on multiple MSM articles?
Yes, the general public IS fascinated with this case for many, many reasons.

My thinking is that most things on TV are for profit, websleuths is not. Ratings = money on tv. I'm torn sometimes because I get disgusted by the exploitation via dramatizations being a dumbing down, but I don't want to not be able to watch them because sometimes, they provide more information than I knew before.

I certainly agree with you that we, the general public, are fascinated with this case and so many others!

For me the issue I get from certain TV features or even podcasts (depending on the podcast) is the glorification of a crime that "sells" the story or situation. It's the way the crime or situation is told that glorifies the scene way beyond necessary almost to the point where the crime, the victim, or the prep are presented as "cool" or "desired". When the story is more focused on the audience's thrill of the crime rather than the crime itself. This is when I have an issue, I don't jive with that.

Sister of Perris mom accused of abusing her 13 children says woman practiced witchcraft

A new tell-all book written by Louise Turpin's sister, Elizabeth Flores, lists shocking details about the family's history.

In the book, called "Sisters of Secrets," Flores says Louise became obsessed with witchcraft, claiming a Ouija board told her she was going to have another child.

Ouija board is witchcraft? Lol. We used to do it in junior high school.

“ Who will be my boyfriend, “ and other world changing questions, lol

I feel like the sister’s 15 minutes are way over.

 

[claudianunes]

I am having trouble believing everything this sister claims. She knows her sister is not getting out, she can say whatever she wants. Elizabeth Flores just want the money, she's lame.

 

[Vedder]

I thought of this sister when Kate Spade's sister was making statements right away, then we found out she's estranged from her family.

 

[mpnola]

Tell all book????? Get outta here with that. Some people's children, I swear.

 

[ilovepierre]

She just wants her 15 minutes of fame.

IMO

When is the next court date?

When is the next court date?

Should be soon. I was under the impression that it would take place on June 10th.

Yeah I thought it was soon too or possibly already happened. Just couldn’t remember the date. I spend most of my time in the Lucas Hernandez thread, but it’s locked right now. So I came here to see what happened in court. Nothing new. So maybe it was continued?

Oops, my bad. It was moved to June 20th. From this link: David Turpin pleads not guilty to perjury in torture case | Daily Mail Online

As a result of the new charges, the first preliminary hearing in the case, where police officers who found the Turpin children were expected to give evidence, was delayed to June 20.

House of Horrors mother's sister says they were abused by grandfather | Daily Mail Online
Well, the cat is out of the bag. The other sister didn't want to say who had molested them and, to me, it's cruel that Elizabeth Flores just went ahead and said who it was in her book. She doesn't really care about anyone. I know I sound bitter about this one but she is really bothering me, yikes.

She really burns my toast and has since day one. She is using the abuse of her nieces and nephews to get attention. Filthy.

Does anyone know if this will be on a live feed on the 20th?

They have been so far. Don't know the "channel", but you might want to look back on around May 14th when their hearing was postponed to the 20th.

Get ready for tomorrow!
