Perhaps you’ve heard the story of the insane parents who shackled, starved and tortured their 13 children.
The kids didn’t go to school. They weren’t allowed to tell people their names.
One of the kids mustered up the courage to run away and get help, and it worked. The 17-year-old girl later told authorities that she believed her parents would’ve killed her, had she been caught.
Authorities found the children– ages 2 to 29– lying in their own feces. One of them– a 29-year-old female– was found weighing only 82 pounds.
There are so many gruesome details. There are pictures of their previous home, too. There are claw marks and stains all over the floor.
David and Louise Turpin are SCUM. I didn’t think it was possible to loathe them even more, but I was wrong.
Louise’s sister, Teresa Robinette, appeared on “Megyn Kelly Today” and gave more insight into this horrific story.
She said she used to keep in touch with her sister’s family via Skype, but after Louise’s 40th birthday, that all began to change. Apparently, the couple experienced a “spiritual” and “sexual” awakening.
“She had never smoked a cigarette or drank a drink of alcohol or anything, and close to her 40th birthday or around that time period, she called me and she thought it was cool that they had, you know, quit going to church, and they didn’t trust the church anymore. They were experimenting with different religions,” Robinette said.
“And at the time she told me that her and David, the older children were helping her take care of the younger children, so her and David could kind of sow those wild oats that they didn’t sow when she was younger,” she added.
Louise and David decided to go “wild” and became “wannabe swingers.” Louise hooked up with some random dude (with her husband’s blessing) in Huntsville, Alabama. One year later, Louise and David decided to go back to that same hotel room and get that exact room so they could sleep together on the same bed she had the affair on.
“All I know is that it did happen,” Robinette said. “She met this man at a motel, slept with him, and what makes it even worse and even weirder is that exactly one year to the day of the anniversary that she did that, she called me and thought it was funny that David was taking her back to the exact same hotel room — the exact same bed that she slept with this man in — so that David could sleep with her in the same bed.”
What in the world.
And another nugget: David basically abducted Louise when she (Louise) was only 16. He was 24.
She went on to say that she and her demented sister came from an abusive household, but it was a “big” family secret.
“He abused my mother and sexually abused my mother, and then me, Louise, Elizabeth, and a few of our cousins in the family. That was a situation that was ongoing for me and my sister,” Robinette said.
That’s awful, but it’s NO EXCUSE for what they did to those kids. Robinette feels the same way.
“Louise no longer exists to me,” she said. “She and David are dead to me.”
May they rot in jail forever.
