Parents arrested after 12 children, ages 2-29, found shackled in California home

A Southern California couple is in custody on suspicion of torture and child endangerment after 12 of their children allegedly were found captive in the couple's home, with some of them shackled to beds.
David Turpin, 57, and Louise Turpin, 49, were each being held on $9 million bail, the Riverside County Sheriff's Office said in a statement Monday afternoon.
Authorities said the investigation began after a 17-year-old girl "escaped" from the home in Perris and called 911 early Sunday to report that her 12 brothers and sisters were being held by their parents.
The sheriff's office said investigators initially believed the "slightly emaciated" girl was just 10 years old when they first saw her.
quote:
When officers and deputies went to the Turpins' home, they found "several children shackled to their beds with chains and padlocks in dark and foul-smelling surroundings," according to the sheriff's office. The statement added that the parents were "were unable to immediately provide a logical reason why their children were restrained in that manner."
Authorities initially believed that all the victims they found were children. However, investigators eventually discovered that seven of the victims were over 18.

The sheriff's office said the victims "appeared to be malnourished and very dirty" and were given food and drinks after they "claimed to be starving."

This doesn’t add up, they look relatively normal in that family picture.

Kids these days are such snowflakes. Back in my day we were happy for chains, that was the only clothes we got!

Those poor children.

Just put them down.
Anyone willing to do something like this shouldn’t be offered “rehabilitation”.

I wonder if they forced the kids to drink Dr. Pepper
They should really lock those parents up for a long time.

That family picture is apparently at least several years old.

They may have been rescued from these monsters but the damage is already done as it's extremely likely they will never lead normal and healthy adult lives.
They'll have be extensively monitored and hopefully they don't become the abuser themselves.

I'm really flabbergasted by this one. I mean, the dad looks like a psycho-frick-serial killer, but that family photo looks like a happy family.
