Description

When a teenage girl escaped her California home, officers discovered she’d left behind a "house of horrors.” In all, thirteen siblings were starved, physically abused, and chained up by their parents, David and Louise Turpin. But the nightmare didn't end with their rescue. Some of the minor children ended up in an abusive foster home. Now, Riverside County and the private agency ChildNet have agreed to a more than $13 million settlement with the victims. Chris Stewart is On the Case.

The title of the video should be "Children rescued from house of horrors abused by new foster family" . As is, I thought this meant they were given back to the Turpins. 😢 Those children deserve so much better. I'm surprised a really nice family didn't step up to take care of them the right way. After all they'd been through, to be abused again. They should have been healing and being loved! The older girls too didn't find happiness. 😢

I cannot get my head around how people can harm children or animals. Utterly repulsive people.

Disturbing. The foster parents should be put in jail for life.

Why were the social workers not closely involved? They knew these kids were so vulnerable. They should have had mandatory therapy.

As usual, the government failed the children and will never be held accountable.

Imagine escaping a house of horrors only to be put into what seems like an even worse situation. My heart is shattering listening to this.

Diabolical and at least 3 of them went to a new foster home only to be abused AGAIN??? The agency that allowed these monster to foster need to be held accountable too! Vile.
