The dad should get an extra charge for that hair cut

Huge respect to that 17 year old. Brave young woman.

Jordan risked her life, to save her siblings from their parents. She’s my hero, she was terrified what would happen if the parents realized she was gone.

As a survivor of child abuse I’m very upset at the neighbor that he saw things happening and he couldn’t make one phone call to family services

As a former prison inmate ( drug charges. ), I saw what happens to prisoner’s convicted of child abuse or other crimes like these. It doesn’t matter what their sentences are, the other inmates will administer their own brand of justice. They will not last long behind bars. Neither of them.

that seventeen year old needs to be rewarded for her saving her brothers,sisters

They are trying to put some of the blame on homeschooling regulations, but the oldest daughter was in school for 3 years. She went to school emaciated, wore the same thing everyday, smelled bad, and was covered in filth. They have no school records of anyone reporting this. The school system seriously failed this girl. Leave it to the media to put their own spin on things. 🤦🤷

so proud of jordan. she literally saved her entire family.

Those aren't parents. They're monsters.

The shouldn't get food in jail let them see other inmates eat

The way the young girl handled the situation and spoke to the police keeping calm and collected the whole time is just outstanding and so very brave

It’s amazing none of the kids died. Without modern medicine I don’t even know if I would’ve survive in this world. God held on to these kids! I hope they live life to the fullest.

How do these people find each other? At what point do people sit down and plot together how to carry out sadistic behaviour?

This is probably happening other places in the country. If you have concerns about your neighbors don't just look away. Step up and take action

The parents mistreated their children but allowed them to keep journals. I'm sure those journals have plenty of evidence.

Jordan is so empathic and full of love she showed enormous strength to save her family

I don't understand how some people are capable of doing this to any children, let alone their own.... It's unfathomable

All those years it's hard to believe that no one ever got suspicious about what was going on.

Jordan is so brave for escaping and contacting 911 to save her siblings.

I simply can't wrap my mind around how evil this is. I am so grateful the children were saved. I will never forget them and I hope and pray they will all recover and live beautiful full lives.

Who else was trying to figure out who the 29 year old is in those group photos

This is true Evil.

The strength of this kids to last through all of that abuse. I’m not an emotional man, but when Jordan broke down crying while trying to recount the process of trying to dial 911 but was shaking so hard because she was terrified…. I just began to tear up. Broke my heart. Thank God for her. Thank God they are free. I hope there is a Hell so those parents can burn for all eternity!!

The scary thing about this is if Jordan hadn't escaped when she did to brave what was out there the 13 kids would still be living in the House off Horrors. How many other children out there that are suffering? It gives me chills thinking about it.

Maybe nosey neighbors aren't as bothersome as we first thought. A few of them along the way might have made a big difference.

In total, I suffered through almost 9 years of infertility - tears, hopes dashed, testing, procedures, just PRAYING to get pregnant one more time, and THIS IS HOW SOMEBODY TREATS THEIR PRECIOUS GIFTS?? Beating, torturing, chaining up, starving, taunting psychologically, likely to the point of madness, let me say it is the MOST disgusting, despicable, horrific story I have ever heard and the worst set of parents that ever existed. I could throw up over this! All of these beautiful gifts from God that some people like me have to fight to have were treated worse than dirt by their own flesh and blood. Did they conceive these children simply to ruin their lives??? Rescued now or not, they will NEVER, EVER be the same. They will have trust issues with EVERYBODY, their health may possibly be forever changed, as they may not have had food enough for proper growth and nourishment. They will have extreme trouble in relationships, and just every day life will be a struggle. They will likely suffer depression, anxiety, body dysmorphic disorder, and possibly other disorders also because of this abuse. Their lives may have been saved, but they will mentally ALWAYS suffer, maybe physically, but I pray they get spared from as much of this as is humanly possible, as it was NEVER their fault, they should NEVER feel that way, they aren't 'bad kids' bad people, the ones who are bad, beyond bad, are going to be tortured and tormented for the rest of their lives behind bars, and I pray they get beat daily, whopped, assaulted, every day of their natural lives, and then once this life is through, you best be sure we ALL know what will be waiting for them next.. the burning fires of hell for eternity. Those poor kids/ young adults. I just cannot fathom that anybody could carry a child, hold that baby in their arms, and wish to do ANYTHING BUT PROTECT THAT PRECIOUS CHILD, NOT DESTROY IT!! These are sickos, and they are gonna get what is coming to them. LOTS of prayers to all of the victims. May they get the counseling that they very much need, and heal over time as quickly and as completely as possible. I wish I could take them all into my home, I really do. This is just soooo very sad!

I say lock the parents for life and never let them see daylight ever again for what they did

What a courageous young lady!! God bless all the children!!

I agree with regular homeschool checks. My mom lied about our records. She wasn't teaching us. My dad abused us physically and verbally and they act like (to this day) They were god sends to us. Very sad.

Now in shackles themselves. Hmmm...I wonder how they like that.

I’m horrified. They are your children! Your offspring! These kids are going to need counseling for the rest of their lives. I hope and wish these children all the best, but they will need help emotionally and mentally. I’m just so pissed at this.

I hope the inmates at that prision deliver the justice that the system cannot provide.

The fact that they didn’t even plead guilty knowing what they did... literally makes me sick. Pure evil.

So now they will be given 3 meals a day, treated in a humane way, will get medical and dental treatment, all the things their kids were not given. For some reason this doesn't seem fair.

Shame on the neighbors! How in the world could nobody know what was going on in that house?

God bless & protect the Turpin children. John.

They hung themselves with those journals. This trials going to be quick, I just hope the victims can even begin to heal.

82 pounds!!!?!?!?!?!?!!? 29 years old!!!!??? Hopefully they live a better life now...

All I ask is for those two to be treated the same way they treated their children.

People, keep your eyes and ears open in your neighborhood and everywhere you go. This goes on all the time. Make a report if you suspect anything. Do the right thing!

They act like they did nothing wrong! Life In Prison!!!

Where are the Menendez brothers when you need them?

This story reminds me of my own experience with my step mother. She raised me from the time I was 7 until I ran away from home at 15. The taunting and and withholding of normal life pleasures hits close to home. The older I get the less i understand why adults treat children this way. I hated my step mother and father. I never spoke to them again as an adult.

I’m glad they were found guilty. They are the lowest form of live….

🧐🤔@3:44 he says authorities said the 17 year old girl who escaped “possibly saved her siblings” CORRECTION: SHE DID SAVE HER SIBLINGS!!! She is a hero and should receive some sort of Medal of Honor for Bravery or Courage or something from the president AND SHE should be PERSON OF THE YEAR!! I can not think of anyone else!!!

The 17 year old should automatically be the 2018 Time Magazine Person Of The Year!

Possible? Are u kidding me? Life without parole would be a mild sentence.

With a haircut like that, he's definitely guilty

Besides the child abuse and torture charges, can they also charge him for that haircut?

well when they go to jail, they will receive everything that they did to their own children. Just worst

An overwhelming amount of evidence makes it very clear that these "parents" were very sick and twisted individuals. It is also clear that neighbors should have spoken up years earlier. How sad...

Sadly, it is at school now where abuse is happening, not just at home. Our society has fallen to the depths of degradation demonstrated by how children are treated.

Considering the father registered a homeschooling registration i dont understand why nothing was checked out before granting them that even have educators or government check in on the kids every now and then

Give those kids food clothes. Don't Separate them!! Give them lots of love!

This is one of the most sinister stories that I’ve heard of. Bless the heart of the kids that are now adults. May you all have a life of comfort and plenty✨🙏

It’s so hard to even comprehend how you could do that to your own children or what is really going on in your brain

If they're convicted?? They're already DONE!!! GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY

PUT THEM IN JAIL FOR LIFE.!

This guy needs to be arrested for that haircut, alone. 🙈

This is terrible.Prayers to the children! Shame to these parents. Hopefully these kids will realize LOVE does exist. It will take time for these children to heal. At least now, they can live a better life than what they had.

29 yrs old and only around 80 pounds....wow...just wow..Im 26 and I weigh only 160 pounds...man....this is sad..

Dressing them all the same is in itself very evident of brainwashing authoritative control, it takes away any individuality and free will. I would be horrified if I had witnessed this family leaving their house all dressed the same and the parents doing the front and rear guard security. They say you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover but the fathers hair do is enough to set the alarm bell ringing in my head. God's love be with the children.

“ they put apple pie on the counter, would let them smell it but not eat it” that’s very sadistic. I must have actually been abused as a child.

The state has failed these poor children. Most homeless with no life skills, others placed in foster care to receive more abuse. Thousands of dollars given to them through donations, stolen. Smh they’ve gone through enough. I hope they are happy & living life freely

Why do we waste so much money and time with these evil folks? We have the evidence that were horrible parents who abused their kids so...???? Lock them up now & throw away the keys. Done.

Seeing these monsters wrapped in their own chains now just makes me sooooo happy...

The dad looks like a great value version of johnny Ramone

And also the fact that the oldest one Jennifer had tried running away before a decade ago. She ran into a neighbor that didn't believe her and thought that she had some kind of mental issues. And she was returned back to the horrid home and was punished. Then she thought maybe the younger sibling might be able to do better and had the courage to do it. I cant help but cry when I watch this.

The parents should be put in the roughest prison in the US

These poor kids didn't deserve that, and hopefully now they can live good lives

It was a miracle that she found someone who listened to her. Most people don't want to get involved, including school administrators and authorities. Adults can easily brainwash children, just as men can brainwash women who are susceptible. This kind of situation is probably more common than people can even begin to imagine.

Any man with that haircut should immediately be considered suspicious.

Pure EVIL. My God. 😥😥😥

Death penalty

What is sad “justice “ will never be served cuz in prison the parents are fed

Healing love and prayers for each of these victims..what a brave girl for saving her siblings..hope the children get well and have beautiful lives..the deserve to be loved and happy for the rest of their lives...they need so much care right now

The “Dad” looks like he smells so bad 🤢

I'm going to guess that these two monsters will not fare well in jail along side victims of similar abuse.

Sad thing is some of the children are right back where they were with abuse in their foster homes! The system has failed them, yet again!!! My heart aches for those children!

I like that when we first see the lawyer next to the "dad" she looks like she doesn't wanna be seen next to him. Ugh I'd hate to represent someone like him.

May they both be tortured every flipping day they are in prison. No sympathy.

I work for a medical equipment company I have walked in on some horrific situations where Kids were involved I reported it to authorities they will send social service out for a visit they will deem it as nothing to see here and that's that. Im talking cigarette burns on children, conditions so bad that you literally hear bugs crunching under your feet when you walk, the kids with bug bites all over there faces, dog feces all over the floor and it goes on and on and on I have no faith in our system.

What kind of defense could the attorney’s for these people even offer to justify these horrific acts?

I know this video is older but the state needs to make sure these adults and children are covered forever. They can't function as normal citizens in society. Their vocabulary is insanely limited. They never went to school or were even exposed to normal interactions. I hope the state has something in place for them. Bless their souls. I wish I was in a position to be able to actually do something for them.

Throw em in general population, let the wolves have em.

How in the hell can you plead not guilty to this? If ya'll arent guilty then who is, omg yall are sick sick sick. How disgusting!!! Bless each one of those kids!

And that 17 year old should have been given a medal.

the scary thing about this, to me, is not just that it happened, but that it's currently happening to probably a hundred or a thousand other kids right now and nobody knows. there's even a probability that someone has lived THEIR ENTIRE LIFE in some psycho's false imprisonment from infancy until they pass away. **shivers**

My brother and I, in our early 40's now we're raised much like these children. Our story never got told and our family never punished for what they did to us and we now live with the challenge of complex PTSD. Think about the few cases like this that get some kind of justice there are far too many that don't. Even children services did nothing. 😓

So they held the kids captive, but occasionally took a trip to Disney World? I'm so confused!

So when these parents were crying in court they were upset they got caught they were not upset about hurting the children these people need to be liquidated

Awesome young woman!! She saved a lot of lives!!! 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

It's so crazy! They have tons of "family photos" online, even at Disney...seemingly nice home on the outside, nice neighborhood...seems like the parents went to great lengths to hide their guilt. Very disturbing.

Not Guilty What a Joke!!

That Vanessa Espinosa should be sued by the young Turpin adults under her charge.

These sick people will be treated better and more humanely in jail and prison than they treated their own children truly sick individuals

Let the inmates sentence them

Of course they did not escape outside . The deathly fear , they where to scared to death that no one believed them , they never spoke to people , so they trusted no one , and the awful punishing from their parents when they get home . The fear and brainwash make it logical the kids never screamed for help .

The father looks like Jeff Daniels from the film Dumb and Dumber.

I am AMAZED that these "parents" allowed them to keep journals. Did they even read them? Did they edit them or dictate them? I hope these journals BURY these "parents".
