CA - 13 victims, ages 2 to 29, shackled in home by parents, Perris, 15 Jan 2018 #4

I think with the baby she was compliant as she was too little to be anything else, I bet as soon as that baby starts walking and talking, she would've received the same treatment.

I would think that baby would be walking and talking (some) by now. Had she of been taken care of correctly that is. She will be 3 this year.

You said no one should be seen as a substitute parent. They need to see good parents.

This is like saying someone who has had an abusive husband should not ever have another husband.

I believe that part of the healing process is finding that family relationships can be loving.

I don't suggest they be forced to call anyone anything. But I absolutely believe they should have parents.

I still wonder about all the boxes of diapers. At 3 the little one should be potty trained.

Could still be in diapers though. Some don't learn quite as early as others. Especially as she wasn't quite three yet.

IMHO I think this picture is LT at age 18-20. The skin on her hands looks to me like someone very young. I think it's a picture of her in the early years of marriage before she had children because she created that page LR after she was married. It is likely a favorite photo of hers that she has kept through all her moves or something she found on a Facebook friends page and uploaded from there, maybe DT created the account, I do not know.

Look at the sign on the wall, idkw it strikes my oddly, it's a rule and here she is unwittingly posing in front of it

Ack! The pattern on that shirt is skulls and cross-bones, and broken hearts!

Wonder if house had basement/cellar.

I wondered if some of the kids weren't wearing diapers, especially those that were restrained. I couldn't tell the size of the diapers from the photos.

Possible, my daughter was at 18 months, maybe she wasn’t normal, but it saved me money.

For all we know the diapers could have been for some of the other children who were restrained and unable to use the bathroom. Also chronic bedwetting even w/ older children, is common in chaotic, violent dysfunctional homes.

That was my thought.

Hah, too true.

Religion, he said, did not have a role in the treatment of the children.

"Noting here, from the above link, that the deputies were at the door while the unchaining occurred:

When deputies knocked the the Turpins’ door on Sunday morning, the Turpins unchained two of the three children, but one – a 22-year-old – remained chained, according to the DA. An 11-year-old and 14-year-old were unchained as deputies stood at the door, Hestrin said."

The date of the lewd act charge and the birth of baby 13 do not add up. The charge mentions Nov 2012 - Nov 2013, and the birth of the baby appears to be Apr 2015.

So the 17 year brave soul would have been 12 or 13 years old. Could be her....

 

[DakotaMayi]

I wonder if the parents did not even notice that survivor 8 had escaped from the time she left, to the time LE turned up. It seems that way if they still had some chained when LE arrived.

I was thinking that the monsters didn’t know at that time that braveheart had left the home. Thought that was why mommy dearest was so perplexed.

Post as much as you like!

I believe the 2 year old was born in April of 2015, based upon a photo from April 2016 where they are celebrating the baby's birthday.

That would make the baby a good six months at the time of the October vow renewal. She looked to be sitting up all on her own so you could be right. In the Oct. 4th, photo by the water, LT is seems to be supporting her. The Oct. 4th photo could be a photo that was taken around June but posted in October.

 

[Peculiar]

Yes. Just like the pies. Why I bet they even had that last baby just to torment the others by showing them how well they could treat a child.

Naw. I think the kids played with toys, watched tv, showered more than YEARLY,
Possibly didn't march for four hours, or have several dead animals, nor were made to stare at pies while starving to death.

They were abused, neglected for sure, but I am not buying that every single thing we are hearing is fact.

The DA is the person who revealed that the victims showered once a year, were not allowed to play with brand new unopened toys, and were teased with pies they weren't allowed to eat. This isn't anything that we've made up.

As heartwarming a post as this sounds, it actually a lot more complex. If they befriend cootie kid, they become a cootie kid. Do we really want to insist out kids ostracize themselves to make up for a lack of adult responsibility? Is that fair? Is it healthy? Peer aceptence, friendship Is a huge deal for children, being kind is virtue we all hope to instill in our kids, but self sacrifice needs to be warrented, lest it border on pathology in itself.

Imo, it's not this third grade peer group that failed this child. They were behaving like third graders.

The teacher failed J that day by singling her out and shaming her, and that failure could only have happened if the teacher had either never noticed or never cared about the obvious signs of significant neglect, and if she had never noticed or never cared that J was being ostracized by her peers. That teacher, imo, never belonged in a classroom and is a disgrace.

That being said, 3rd graders aren't babies who can't be expected to be aware of others' feelings, nor accountable for being unkind.

Parents are responsible for teaching their kids that unkindness is not ok, that wanting to fit in is normal, fine, and OK, but that belonging at someone else's expense, or at the expense of doing what one knows is wrong, is never acceptable.
