rangergun alot of the times things may seem a bit weird with a family or someone but people don't have enough evidence to call the cops. What if nothing is wrong and you call the cops ?
I think many people deal with things like that all the time, like saying "I'm not trying to be mean but you're a dumbass" or "I was about to help but I just can't". I guess saying shits like that will make them feel better after they regret on not doing something or did something so I always won't take them serious.
Emerald Minecart I’m 12 and I weigh 86 pounds I should be concerned but okay- (I eat regularly so I don’t have any disorders or somethin so yea and I do a lot of sports so yay that’s fun)
Stefan P lmao nice haircut did you save your receipt. Idk how a woman could smile while looking at him like their pictures of him and his wife unless she's literally laughing every time
It happens everywhere and abusers are good at hiding their secrets and pretending to be loving parents so it's difficult to distinguish them in the crowds.
David Turpin sported that same bowl cut in his high school photo. He should have had another five years tacked on for that ridiculous bowl cut that he still has.
She was so badly brain damaged from malnutrition she currently needs a caregiver 24/7. In fact both the eldest children need 24/7 care because of the malnutrition...
PR Ty Ty she is a hero. But man she's a horrible singer look on RU-vid it's pretty damn bad. If she was getting abused she sure had free range to internet RU-vid stylish clothes and makeup and the bathroom was very clean. And makes me question what was really going on in that house
I’m so sick and tired of hearing people say “I saw something weird,” or “I saw this one happen one time and I thought it was weird.” WTF! U see something SAY SOMETHING! Especially the sister who stayed with them. She could have helped prevent the long years of hell these children went through. 😡
Oh my gosh yes!! I feel like people were too scared to say something in case they were wrong or they thought “it’s none of my business” but seriously this could have been stopped years earlier if someone called the police just once!
actually this was kind of big in the late 80s and the 90s i remember being dressed just like my brother with matching clothes lmao i grew up in ghetto ass hemet california so it’s not just a cult thing tho i agree it’s weird but some parents see it as cute or some shit so idk
Blaszczyk, you're the idiot. Being against Satan does not make someone a 'religious bigot'. Why would YOU want to take chances with your soul by defending Satan or anything that even a child could identify as Satanic?
Oh, brother. Celess21 was referring to the oh-so-dark-and-edgy user name Lightning Lodge 666, with its accompanying five-pointing star. Members of the Masonic organization wouldn't imply that secret membership in a public user name on social media unless they're really stupid, lying to appear badass, or both. Society's already going to hell; professing Satanists don't need or deserve any more of a platform than they already receive. I don't get butthurt about any irreverent person calling me a 'bigot' just because I hate the Devil and think it's wrong and disgusting to promote Satanism. I don't need to care about what the world thinks of me. I need to care about what GOD wants for me.
Please. There are people of color all over the world who embrace Christianity. I'm not telling you you HAVE to be Christian, but I'm not going to go against my beliefs and tell you there are a million other paths to salvation, just to make you feel better. And my previous comments attacked only Satanism. How dare YOU tell me to be 'open-minded' about 'doing what thou wilt being the whole of the law'. That is selfishness and hedonism that leads to pandemonium and God's wrath. I will NEVER explore or condone Satanism, Islam, New Age hoodoo, Wicca, or Joel Osteen's anti-Christian prosperity gospel. Don't presume to know about my upbringing, either. I was raised by a secular Jew and a lapsed Jew-turned-atheist. I love my parents, and I respect the Jewish faith because Christians have their history in Judaism, but their secular beliefs had little to offer me in regard to life's most meaningful questions. I'm not angry that I had to seek my own way as an adult, though, or that my mother was too heartbroken to attend my baptism. I found the path that is right for me, and better late than never, and my faith has enriched my life. You, however, cannot deny that Christianity (and Judeo-Christian values) are being mercilessly attacked in Western society. The Bible predicted this fighting and division, tearing friends and families and communities apart, and the End Times when people care more about wealth and fame and pleasures of the flesh than they care about living a life to glorify God. Rant some more about all Christians being bigots, if you must, but we only care about the spiritual welfare of misguided adults and the poor children raised in Satanic and pagan families who insist on spreading such sin in the name of 'open-mindedness'. But don't waste your time, because I won't return to reply to your tripe.
Yes, seven of the older siblings were adults. The abuse went on for over three decades. The oldest child (the 29 year old woman) did go to a public school back in Texas and would often go to school wearing the same filthy clothes everyday. She attended public school up through third grade. She was often made fun of and bullied for the appalling smell of odor from her clothes and body. After third grade, the parents pulled her out to home school her and the rest of the siblings. The rest of the siblings never went to a public school. The teachers could have called the police years ago and they would have been saved much sooner, but instead, the abuse escalated over the years while the parents kept on having children until they reached to the 13th child.
Johnna Marcus her family ain't shit , they dropped the ball on those kids 😡 how could they not know, shit do you bring birthday presents, Easter baskets, a day out at the park, cause if I couldn't do those things with my niece and nephew there would be hell to pay for sure, weak ass people 😡 I'd check on the safety of the sisters kids cause she looks like a person that's not in check with reality 😡
Johnna Marcus. You can't just go shoving your self into everybody's business, it's called a right to privacy. If people want talk to shit, then grow some balls, walk up to the house and tell them you need to see what's going on or else. If you are not going to do that then keep your tail tucked and mind your business.
I don't think you need to judge those people because of that. It seems like every person that knew about some sort of suspected behavior the couple had thought that he is probably wrong, and didn't want to inform the police about that. Most people would probably do the same if they were in the same situation.
It sounds like she knew they were controlling. I'm not sure what anyone is supposed to do about that, because it is not illegal to be a controlling parent.
@@squirrel_of_mistri8565 no she knew more then that she said while she was living there they made the kids stay in their rooms all day and only come out one time for food and before sitting down they would have to smile at the mother and wait for permission to sit down to eat then go right back to their rooms. She said the mother was the one in control the father kind of sat back let her lead until things became even more strange when she would take showers she would lock the doors because her sisters husband seemed weird but her sister would always open it then her sister and her husband would stay in the bathroom while she showered until she was done they watched her come out of the the tub naked when she couldn't take it anymore she left according to the sister oh but she wanted make it clear that she never witnessed any physical or sexual abuse towards the children and they never touched her sexually while they watched her come out tub or any other time she witnessed weird behavior that she never though to report so yeah that sister is a piece a shit
It's no excuse to become a sociopath even if you were abused. looked at Louise's sister she never became abusive. My mother and father are victims of abuse,but they love me and my sister with all their life. My parents have genuine love for forgiving their abuser. If you've been abuse just know the future is ahead and you can make the future bright.I hope I made someone's day.
Note to self: If you move into a house and there is scratch marks on doors and walls...find out who the hell own it b4 and have the cops investigate. My heart is heavy rt now. So many red flags people missed.
Diana Lorch I think every child, adult of age or not is underdeveloped. Mentally and physically and so foster/adoption for all of them is probably required for a certain time before the adults are allowed to live independently. It breaks my heart to think the conditions these people were kept in and subjected to, especially from such a young age. Every child deserves a parent Not every parent deserves a child Looking after a person (let alone 13) is a hard task, people need to understand and accept their abilities to care for someone
I do blame the sister; I do blame the neighbors; and I do blame a system that permits 'home-schooling' unregulated so that this kind of parenting can continue for decades without any interference. People just don't want to get involved. They can say whatever they want on camera, but they don't really care. And, if there is a God, I suspect they will also be judged for their sins of omission.
Finally, someone who see’s this. Those people who saw shit and cowardly sat back are pathetic. They see kids marching back and fourth at 4 am for hours and say nothing? Useless. I hope they burn for it. They all had no problem gossiping to each other, and looking, but couldn’t be bothered to help
Weldon Mix yes these ststes that dont require home vistiation are the ones that these religious fanatics and child abusers move to so they can say there homeschooling but that just a good excuse to kerp kids isolated and torchured home schooling should br outlawed except for kiids that have medical problems that would stop a lot of abuse teachers are required to report any physical abuse
Weldon Mix no kidding....reading the book. The sis talking, grandparents, neighbor...all saw the abuse and stayed silent. NOW the want their moment of Fame. Sick.... not just mom and dad.
Tuco Salamanca I am marching through my hours for hours too. No one comes lol. Its not unusual to see kids marching. They could be playing or roleplaying whatever. You don't think automatically that these kids are prisoners in their own house
On the contrary this Is a public defenders dream you know they are gonna lose, but if they do a good job they will have the pick of any district attorney's office they will ever wanna work in just for the publicity alone. So just feel bad for the jury they Are picked. Just a different spin on your statement
thank you for breaking the cycle ❤ I fear I won't as I still harbour a lot of anger and resentment. I have chosen to not have children for this reason. Thank you for being stronger than I ever could.
@@bigdickdolly I'm so happy you are brave enough to accep that. The first step is working on yourself before even trying to start a family. I made mistakes and wasn't prepared but I did the work and thank God my family is 100 times better than mine was.
The parents are definitely sick to the bones! Hoping for the children's long recovery. But what gets me is that none of the neighbors even reported to the police all their suspicion about this family. We need to be more caring to our neighbors. Let's get to know them without getting too nosy. Let's not put ourselves in a bubble.
Lowell Dizon I’m am such a asshole for saying this,but ( It wouldn’t surprise me if the eldest child would commit suicide) too much was done,I do pray I am wrong 😒
“Getting too nosy” is doing things like calling the police on your neighbors when you notice something kinda weird I sometimes notice kinda weird things my neighbors do too but I don’t think they’re holding a family hostage in the basement I just think “oh that’s a bit odd, anyway”
Lowell Dizon I agree a little bit more control and contact with you neighbors is a good thing! But in this case I don't blame the neighbors, I believe they didn't know anything that was going on in that house. They didn't even know how many children their were cause they hardly came outside. I do blame however the sister and the grandparents, they knew something was off and they did nothing! And now they're giving interviews? It feels like they're trying to make it up for themselves or maybe there is a chance of making some money out of this tragic situation. Sorry to put it so bluntly but These family members "STINK"!!!! And please I hope they are not allowed to adopt any of those kids.
The sister said they had a pretty normal life, is being sexual abused as a child normal ? I don’t think so this lady’s story does not add up. West Virginia is a totally different type of state any, I’ve heard too many stories about West Virginia
kvicks916 i think people that have been molested dont realize how serious it is bc this happens when your a child & this is what you know.. Its such a shame.. There are untreated mentally ill or just vicious demented people EVERYWHERE. My heart hurts for the kids..
Her sister didn't commit any crime. She is related to her and that isn't her fault so Idk why you and other people are giving her sister-who is a victim of sexual molestation/abuse as a child a hard time.
Why are all of these people speaking up NOW?!!! This is truly disturbing to me. If you SEE something that isn't right (children marching in the middle of the night...) something that YOU KNOW is wrong... Call the Authorities! I know people don't like to pry or try to make sense of it but when there are Children involved I'm sorry but you don't have that luxury. If 1 person had just called the police and said "something just doesn't seem right. Please check on these Children", it would have saved these children and the mental illness they will now have for the rest of their lives! It's amazing how people will call the Police in a heartbeat if they see an Animal in a hot car but not for the things that are seen or heard of in cases of Children!
Those neighbors and the sister who did nothing should be ashamed of themselves.. oh but they are all happy to speak out now aren’t they!? “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing” Edmund Burke
Heard about this when Philip Defranco covered it. I hope these people rot in jail. Some people should not be parents. Edit: didn’t expect so many likes omg.
X DailyBookVlog ...well they cannot be considered as parents. They are “genetic factors” instead. Their behavior toward causing injury upon injury to every child makes them criminals, not parents.
sheila sheehan we call it "genitor" actually. That being said, it doesn't excuse them but it's pretty apparent they have extreme mental health issues. I'm thinking something like folie à deux.
What's more disgusting is how her sister is speaking out now but did t even make a call to the police to do wellness checks on the children, I mean I get she went through stuff but damm 😡 I went though thru stuff as a child and because of it m super protective and aware of the potential harms than can arise, I am the mouth of the family when shit don't look right I step In And regulate situations whether it's my biz or not, for my family I go hard, those poor children breaks my heart that nobody can to their defense, how the fuck you an aunt and can't see the kids, I just don't understand 😡😪🙏🏽
Emily Rivera You idiot. She was her sister and she knew her sister was very strict. That's all it seemed to be. If you were in that situation, trust me, you would NOT call the police and most likely waste tax payer money simply over pure paranoia.
Lol paranoia okay "idiot" since that's the language u understand hmmm your comment alone makes u sound like one and yes call the cops but ain't it funny that tax payers will now support these two in jail.
Yeah, I hate how this sister is ALL OVER THE MEDIA now. Apparently she's not even thinking of the long-term impacts her blabbering might have on the kids, who will definitely see these videos at some point.
I drove through Paris, California on my way to a raceway with my family, I surprisingly actually passed by the house and there is so many balloons, bears, cards, books, etc. I always think my parents are harsh but after watching this and googling it, I feel like I have the best parents ever and they are harsh because they want to protect me. God bless these children. ❣️❤️
I'm very proud of the children that escaped, and i formed authorities. It's difficult to understand their behavior parents don't do that...but they do. I'm sorry for the children that experienced, this horrible abuse from their "parents"
/G\ LIGHTNING LODGE 666 you are the kind of person who would do such a thing to children you show absolutely zero empathy for these poor souls and what they’ve been through. For you to be able to say that I genuinely think you’re a sociopath or psychopath
Poca Figureoa Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a personality disorder in which there is a long-term pattern of abnormal behavior characterized by exaggerated feelings of self-importance, an excessive need for admiration, and a lack of understanding of others' feelings...etc. that's the definition.
Anna Brennan Narcissist Personality Disorder is a mental illness. It can vary in its severity all the way to sociopathy. (Psychopath) Sounds like an accurate diagnosis to me.
"If you don't stand up for one thing you will fall for everything!" It a took a courageous 17 year old girl who became that 'voice' for her siblings. She advocated for them and herself. SHE wanted to LIVE a healthy life. One different from the house one she had been trapped into. God bless her and her siblings.
Joe Batimore you are so Wright and most are not going to school but are being under the disguise of home schooling did you ever notice that most of the ones you hear about these religious fanatics and abusive parents are living in states that dont require any kind of visits to see how the children are doing in there school work therewould be a lot less abuse if states were stricter on homeschooling
karey lester There’s no such thing as a “29 year old kid.” That’s just another tactic/excuse by white America, so they won’t have to accept accountability for anything they do. Meanwhile, certain 12 year olds are considered adults in this country.
Clearly Louise is All about Loise!!! This is a disgusting and disturbing story and Louise’s Sister should be ashamed of herself!!! She is just doing this for her 15 minutes of fame!! She did nothing to help these children in 29 years to help one child!!! So she needs to shut her pie hole and everyone else that never stepped up!!!! How dare they all get on tv and start talking smack now after the fact!!! Where were they when the children NEEDED THEM????? Get off the band wagon!!! These children need all the help they can get and they don’t need the family that wasn’t there for them!!! The Aunt sounding so unaware of what was happening!!! 🤔😳 May god give these children the courage and strength they need to move forward and find happiness ❣️❤️💜
@@jessicacole8404 that's exactly what the sister's doing when she explained what she saw when she moved In she made sure to point out that never witnessed any physical or sexual abuse towards the children just weird behavior.... 😐REALLY!!!
Those poor kids have gotten better care and attention by the hospitals in one year than by their own parents in their whole lives. God bless those kids, and I hope the parents get everything they deserve.
Mike Carter yeah, I also thought mr. Turp. Looked vewy gwumpy... "I'm not Getting My WAY!!! What happened to my sick power trip!!???!" Don't know if I've ever had such profound antipathy, as i have for these 2, for any person other than Hitler...
I think he knows he's in deep shit but she seems oblivious. Totally out to lunch. I wonder if the ladies at the correction facility are putting her straight! Hope so!
So many clues, and no one calls CPS or police or _any_ authorities to say, "hey, I think something is up with this family. I know they have children but we almost never see them leave the house, and there is some suspicious behaviour, and their old homes are left in a state of filth." Christ, people.... SPEAK UP.
I usually don't leave the house, the suspicious behavior one is a good reason. Kids marching outside could be anything, however. You'd have to be a peeping Tom and look through their windows
So many failed these children. 1. Their parents 2. This Aunt that stayed with them one summer 3. Texas authorities 4. Teachers in Texas when a few of the older ones got to go to school 5. Neighbors in Texas and California who saw signs and turned a blind eye
I don't get why none of their family member rock up to the house to visit or anything..like if you haven't seen your daughter, son, sister or brother for a long time why don't you go check up on them or anything then you'll realise what been happening in the house
sky luna my dad died last month and my mom is a mess and manipulators are trying to get my dad's ssi/survivor benefits for alcohol and cigarettes when my mom is tying to get braces for me. I never imagined people doing this kind of stuff, and my mom is dying from all of the stress from people trying to use us
I'm a Nosey neighbor, that if I saw some CRAZY SHIT like seeing kids at 2 in the morning marching and found those F-up pictures DAM right I'm doing Something...some one could of done something this is Terrible...
The amount of people throughout my childhood who knew things weren’t okay in my household pisses me off. It’s no shock to me that people knew something was wrong but did nothing in this case.
The running theme here is....*isolation*. David Turpin seemed to insist on isolating the people around him, preventing them from having normal contact and interpersonal relationships. That is from what I've heard, one of the FIRST signs of some pretty horrible abuse to come. IMO, he wanted no other eyes on his family, he wanted free reign.
My question is what did they plan to do with the children ????they couldn't let them leave ....ever ...I shudder to think about their plans for the children ...so sad
People need to hear others when they say they’re being abused. It shouldn’t need to get to the worst possible point, where escape becomes hard. I’m glad these girls were not forced to return.
*I don't even know him,..& I can tell that something not right with **#Him**.. just from that stupid ass haircut* 😒 & that face is just making the situation worse
Instinct Gaming 😕 what the hell is all those numbers suppose to be??? a computer virus??? I don't understand that so I tell you what...put that *almighty American DOLLAR SIGN $* in front of those numbers ..(I can understand that)
As a child who suffered abuse similar to this , except I was an only child and the abuser was my mums ex partner. So many knew something wasn't right, I told people, our child protective services in NZ had over 30 reports from people scared for me . And they interviewed me 2 times. Of course, being an afraid child I lied to cover up what was happening even though it was obvious and they are trained to see that. They left me in that hell and closed my case. Until my mum thankfully finally left when I was 11 . Now, at 28 . With a wee blessing of my own. I can't fathom my child going through any of the pain I went through. The physical abuse was nothing compared to the emotional abuse . I wish the system helped me and they certainly failed me . They fail a lot of children, so happy in this case they got them out
That new home owner who didn't report the state of that house to CPS should be ashamed of themselves. Even if it were from "animals", children were living there under those conditions and that for sure is a major red flag for neglect and abuse.
The scariest part is that if the 17 year old wasn’t brave enough, we wouldn’t even know this was happening. Who knows how many other couples are doing this, and the children don’t speak up?

vico khang ...Oh, they are guilty alright. And, it is unclear if these kids will ever be able to live a normal life. Louise and David have purposely and knowingly completely destroyed their kids.
sheila sheehan there, you've put into words what I felt but could not articulate. It is as if they had those children for the specific purpose of abusing them! It's like, the parents stole the kids' childhood AND their future! I just don't know if I've ever heard anything so extreme, that twisted...

Kv Denko the other news had a illegal immigrate hugging his family on his way on being deported (was here illegally for 30 something years) I say, can we send these two in their place? 😒
This shows the level of depravity of our society in the 21st century. No one tried to help those children when they had the chance. People today have become non caring human beings. I bet there are thousands of these cases in the US. Wake up people and love your children. Everyone has checked out of society. Social media is great but I think sometimes people live in fantasy land. God help us if we continue as a society to turn a blind eye and let children suffer.
Hank Logsdon Pretty sure if this happened 100 years ago, people would've been still as ignorant. There's this whole culture of not interfering in personal business which is to be blamed. People saw how weird the family was but they thought "oh well they're just strict, none of my business". If you read some old cases like one where where a mother kept her daughter locked up in the attic for 25 or so years (I can't remember the name sorry), you'll notice that human nature has always been the same. Neighbors didn't want to interfere then and don't want to even now.
rouge gaming28 I heard a lot of people are sick from diabetes and heart disease and they are too poor for adequate healthcare. :( WV is one of the most obese states in the US something needs to be done to provide people with affordable healthy food and healthcare.
First the sister says “we grew up in a normal loving family” then she says they were sexually abused?!? I was born in the USA, but raised overseas, then came back to USA & I AM SHOCKED ABOUT ALL THE SEXUAL ABUSE I HEAR HAPPENS IN HERE IN USA🤢😭😤
