Parents in court crying about they are sorry & want their kids
Nooo they are crying because they got caught.
Absolutely
They are all the same selfish monsters
The mother literally said in her last statement “we just want our kids to know we will be ok” HUH? Seriously? Those kids were thriving DESPITE them, and wanted them to know it, and these “parents” only STILL concerned about themselves!
@@maureenjossick429 - narcissism 101.
Throw away the key on both of them.
@@louisemoran1323 you got that right!!
I will NEVER stop being SO VERY PROUD OF JORDAN!!!!
The courage she showed by escaping that hellhole and getting help to save her siblings is UNIMAGINABLE!!!
You keep ROCKING Jordan!!!!! ❤
She's a real hero! God bless and keep those children! Those people need to be locked away for what they did to their children!
Actually the cops sent them to a filter home where they were sexualising abused. Jordan is brilliant, but everyone wanting to end the story here has put those kids in danger
It is instinct to know that is not right behavior from her parents. She was the only one to be brave enough to chance her parents wrath. She had no idea of the outside world. This one always gets me. It is so much to process and take in.
❤❤❤Keep your head up, Jordan! You are AMAZING! You saved all of your siblings! Amazing strength of character and perseverance!
Diane Sawyer interviewed the girls a few years ago, i know the video is on RUclips. The girls articulated their experience really well. I was really impressed by them.
This was not a welfare check, this was an escaped hostage child that brought the police back to save the rest of their siblings.
They were playing it off as a "welfare check" so the parents wouldn't do anything rash ... They had no clue what they'd be walking into
Yes but they call it a welfare check because she said her sister was chained up. Which is a wild claim. So they do a welfare check to check the safety or welfare of the children
No, it was not a welfare check, but saying that was the way that got them in the house without a search warrant.
@@missychan63 of course it wasn't, but they had no clue exactly what they'd be walking into. They clearly phrased it that way so as not to spook the parents into violence, etc.... they didn't actually need a search warrant due to exigent circumstances.
@@moorek1967they didn’t need a warrant bcse there was a crime committed . It also said that in documentary
Jordan is so intelligent. She was denied education, freedom, love and respect, but still managed to make a plan and act it out on the tiny window of chance she had. It's impressive how she knew people wouldn't believe her, and you can see how much efford she needs to speak a language she was never taught properly, and the bravery of approaching an older man she doesn't know and put her heart out like this. I wish all the authorities made what this policeman did to protect her when kids finally have a chance to speak up.
As terrible as the parents were, its even more appalling that "normal" people working for the government & healthcare system let them down.
You can tell she has extreme developmental delays from being locked away. She is 17 but sounds like she is nine 😮
They weren't given any education. It's incredibly sad.
@@annjepsen1621 I hope those children are living a better life today. That's truly sad! 😢
Didn t even know what MEDICATION IS , POOR BABI3S , I M GLAD JORDAN GOTTEN OUT ND HELPED HER SIBLINGS, HOPE PARENTS GOTTEN A LONG TIME IN JAIL , A-HOLES OF PARENTS / MONSTERS
They were abused over the Bible. Bless to be Muslim. My people are also killed from America/israel
At nine my daughter knew her address both mine and her dad’s phone numbers and she had a phone. She literally has the knowledge of a five year old. She’s incredibly intelligent and the things she’s accomplished now that she has the freedom to explore her world is absolutely incredible. Her passion and her will to live are amazing.
It's unbelievable the way these poor kids were treated AFTER their "rescue". CPS is sickening. The amount of times they end up making a child's life even worse is so deeply astonishing.
How do you know
@@naomigarcia3438 the tiniest modicum of research reveals the massive failures of the system...
This 100% ⬆⬆⬆ ... Watched another video on this and it stated that the children was put into foster homes where they was abused in every way possible and something about the children having to fight for money that was theirs that was being held from them. Disgusting how this was allowed to happen after the ordeal they went through.
Foster care is not always the right choice for sure. I speak from personal experiences and have seen students I teach live these experiences. Sadly many abusers become foster parents so they may have financial, abusive, or sexual gain! It’s sickening
@@leemuggeridge1392 can you name the video?
I’m so proud of Jordan for getting out and saving her siblings. I’m sure some of them wouldn’t be alive any longer.
Such a strong beautiful sister.
Jordan was the first hero. And all the other kiddos followed by being heroes for hanging in there. I hope each one of them have safe and healthy lives today.
she looks like Taylor Swift..
Agree
Such a sad story, horrible parents !!!
The fact that these children were placed in foster care homes that further abused them is so sad. They said they would rather live back at home than endure the foster parents
What the sometimes I wish the government knows who they are placing them. Like I’m in the foster family and the first home was not great. I’m sad for them, like I can’t believe that.
They should have been given some money for that
Those poor kids left one hell and put right back into it in foster care..horrible!!!
So what's happening about the children today
Any updates?
From the bottom of my heart I wish these “kids” peace and all the happiness the world has to give. They’ve earned it. ❤
They earned so much more they was warriors to endure all that I'm so glad God has spared them 🙏🏾 everything they been through I hope the world has thier back n helps them 🙏🏾
I did hear the little ones were also abused by foster parents 😢😢
AND THIS, PEOPLE, ARE WHY CELL PHONES CAN DIAL 911 EVEN WITHOUT SERVICE
@pine, wow I ddnt even know that and Im 66 but not tecno at all
But as Children it’s doubtful they even knew that 😢
Yes! I was thinking the same thing. It’s a wonder Jordyn even knew that.
Please tell me the treatment in the system these kids got could not of been as bad or worse than at home!
@@janicescott6569it was bad but this is the case when you’re parentless, you’re prey for every person and institution in America. It’s sad
They tried to keep the kids together, put them in a “safe” foster home where the foster father s3xvally assaulted them. These kids have been failed so many times in so many ways.
What? These poor children!
@@boojieboo7510 it’s disgusting. And I feel like they are now exploiting the one girl because of how she looks. (Very pretty). The story has always disturbed me.
@@megandvc it’s so disturbing and this is America so who will stop anyone and protect her, from herself really, and the independence she was seeking. I hope it doesn’t betray her
California!!!
@@marygarrett9724has nothing to do with one state.
They were once in Texas and were doing the same things.
You know what's even more sad? Is how these kids were treated after they were "rescued". They were all separated. Multiple children reported abuse of all kinds in their new foster homes. The adult children were left to fend for themselves. About 600k was raised in donations for them and the state of California "lost" it. One adult child was severely beaten and nobody helped or cared. None of the adults could even get $100 of THEIR MONEY to buy a bike to get to work to support themselves because tue state stole all the money. They couldn't get any state assistance either. Disgusting
I hate this world...
Wow God help them I really hope they got help out those situations
I wish I would've known and could've helped. This is so heartbreaking 😢😢😢😢
This is fkin off the chainnwtf be wrong with people
Typical of corrupt California! The programs in place to "help" others like the homeless and foster care and the people in charge of these programs take all the money and pocket it and that's why there's never any money for the actual victims/people who need help. And like many other states, California is corrupt. That includes the government and government officials.
Living her whole life in these conditions and have the courage and intellect to take screenshots of the horrors to prove her statement is GOAT.
What does that mean,Goat???
@@Fezz1020 Greatest of all time :D
A screenshot is a picture of a screen, she didn't take any screenshots, she took pictures

Jordan is a real inspiration to many desperate and broken children. She's an incredible young lady. I wish her and her siblings a new life filled with peace, love and good health.
" What's medication? ". That line hit my stomach like a fist. Right in the bread basket. God Bless them all.
Means they were never given medicine for anything. Which is horrific.
They only understand the word pills, their parents didn’t give them education, they just grew up speaking English, they didn’t know the word medicine, medication and injuries, injured, only the hurt which is basic to understand in English
@@marissanorth85 right?! What kind of monster does that to children?!?!?!?!
I felt the very same way. Then it happened again when she didn’t know what injuries meant. I just cannot believe the abuse she endured, and still has enough wits about her to save everyone. This young lady is a genius in every way.
@mrgraham5521 😢😢😢😢😢😢 a heartless one a monster is right since they been babies till now smfh like who can hurt children like this or worse they will recieve prison justice
The real sad part is if there is this 1 family that has lived for decades in this disgusting situation, there are many many more families not discovered...😢😢😢
Yeah, "private schools" can't be checked? And so much homeschooling that's just a cover for abuse. All kids should be seen and talked to by mandated reporters like teachers. And run away kids are often put right back with their parents.
@@Iflie That's why I don't agree with homeschooling. It's not regulated. No one checks on these children to make sure they are being educated and are not being abused.
@@patriciamonger5858 Yeah the point out some regulated ones and say the kids are well educated but that's only done by the parents who care. No one seems to care about the cult kids left at home to be abused.
As Covid pointed out, parents are not teachers. Kids are still behind from not being able to go to school. Even with OL learning.
@@Ifliebad take. Homeschooling is just a cover for abuse? I know plenty of homeschooled kids. They weren't abused and have good lives. Anything can be used as a cover for abuse. I was SA'd by a teacuer in public school and no 9ne believed ne cause i was a boy. So now by your logic all public schools are covers for abuse right? No. Thats not how it works bud. Bad people do bad things. Those bad people dont represent the majority of us.
@@patriciamonger5858ok well lets look at publics schools and oh...oh kids are being taught there is no difference between men and women and gender is something that magically changes based on what you want to be. 😂😂😂 Yeah public schools doing SO WELL on the education front.
NO WELFARE CHECK AT THIS HOUSE. THE CHILD SAVED HER SIBLINGS NOT THE PROFESSIONALS. GOD BLESS ALL THESE CHILDREN ❤
Welfare checks are conducted WHEN family, a neighbor or friends calls the police and requests one. Cops just don't do welfare checks just because they have nothing better to do. It's clear the parents kept the kids away from the World. So who was going to know those children needed help? Who was going to call the police and request help on their behalf?
@@logicalchaos0142Thank you for saying it because I don't know why people think cops or even child welfare can just show up and get inside a home out of the blue. It takes a village. If you see something, say something.
@@luvlife2355 by reading the comments It became clear that people DONT know this. It seems they expected cops to just know, show up and do something. If that was the case no child or adults would be abused or neglected. That's why I wrote the comment. It does take a village. People can only help when they know or suspect something is wrong. I just hope people read my comment before continuing to post placing fault on the cops. It's unbelievable how uneducated n ignorant some people are about the World and what goes on in it but have no problem pointing fingers. I'm glad that you n I atleast know. Hopefully I can spread some awareness at the very least.
She instigated the welfare check.
Everytime they had a welfare check done on them, they would move. They then wouldn't follow up with it. Out of site out of mind.
I am so glad that Jordan rescued herself and her siblings, but I am so angry that the system let some of the younger kids down by placing them in a foster home where they were abused by the foster parents. It is so disgusting that those kids were abused after they finally got out of the horrific situation they were in. Jordan seems like an amazing woman. So happy she is free. ❤❤❤
That young lady is an angel. A hero to her brothers and sisters.
Some of the younger children were put in foster homes, and they were abused there. So sad for them, left one abusive home to another.
Oh no! 🥲
Poor babies.
They are all away from that foster home apprently but the older ones went to court to get access to the money that was raised for them because the city was holding on to it alledgedly...
I’m not surprised at all. Because most people are not very nice
These two are going to a SPECIFIC place HELL
It was so sad how she didn't even know what the word injury meant. The fact that they didn't know simple words like that shows you how manipulated their lives were and how brave it was for Jordan to help her family escape. The look on that mother's face said everything when she was told that there was a girl running round saying she came from there the moment he said it she knew what was coming.
Despite the deprivation and abuse the Turpin children suffered, at least the two daughters who've become the public face of their family seem to be quite intelligent, learning about, and adapting to their new world, pursuing personal goals.
If you really pay attention most of the words they did not know are things that have a connection to their neglect or abuse...medication, she did not know this word because they had probably almost never if at all for some had medicine when sick...injury, a word used to describe the consequences of the abuse inflicted on them. I would be willing to bet if you listed all the words they didn't know most of them are words they need to describe their situation. They kept them strategically ignorant just as they kept them strategically afraid.
Didn't know medication, either. To know these kids went out of this house into foster care only to be abused by them. I'm so sorry for these kids.
Can’t fathom how the child “protective” services failed these remarkable children. I will pray that these experiences don’t cloud them when they become parents.
😊😊😊
Those poor kids suffering so much and then placed in a worse foster care situation. That was downright criminal of the county.
Oooh this is double sad
"Steal food" is a distinct example of abuse & immediate arrest of the parent caregiver with maximum penalties.
Those creeps should NEVER be allowed to see their children or any children forever again, and should NEVER be released.
This is just awful. First these poor kids are abused by their parents, then, the system that is supposed to protect and help them fails them miserably!! The Department of Social Services ought to be ashamed of themselves.
They should all be put in jail! Department of social service is no different than those parents..
They exploit children across America and world!
Does anyone know how the rest of the children are doing, the younger ones?
Absolutely!! So much evil it's unbelievable!!@sharminproctor8826
What goes around comes around. Karma repeats itself. The Lord will give them what's due. It's a promise!!! The Govt..the social workers... the foster homes... tut tut
Poor sweet girl 🥲💔. No matter what she didn’t know she knew she had to get out of there and she became a hero for her and her siblings that day. I hope everyone is doing well and flourishing away from those monsters
Unfortunately the younger children ended up in foster homes and were further abused. All these children are heroes and Jordan the captain.
Jordan, I can’t thank her enough for her bravery and being a part of this world. She’s a hero & lifesaver. The monsters are truly a mistake on this planet.
Absolutely heartbreaking. Poor girl. Poor kids. Never got to have a childhood, experience school, nothing. All stolen by complete psychopaths for parents.
I have severe child trauma too. I feel so bad and proud of those children. The home school groups are under scrutiny like they should be.
What's even more sad is once they escaped hell they got put in foster care houses and some of the houses they were placed in also abused them....
That was so terrible that broke my heart. How could they put them in places like that Even when the system failed them
@@zoeyrandazzo4600 than go help make changes and foster kids yourself to help
These children, including the adult children, should have been kept together, not separated. It was special circumstances ... so surely the County could have rented suitable accommodation, where welfare carers, and a main foster - style mother and father figure, could live in, while the children were medically assessed, and then were able to attend school and college. Surely with modern "Gofundme" money being raised the children would be able to buy a home. A tragic tale of the incompetent parents' casual repeated cruelties, actual torture being their sad sad norm. A happy childhood stolen.
Understand. I was abused on a scale only a few know… I lived on a rural farm surrounded by a barbed wire, electric fence and gate to keep my mute sister & self inside. I was locked in a closet, drugged, tortured, starved, beaten with an old splintered park bench wood plank turned into a paddle containing sharp carved holes representing each age. After each board broke on my bare skin, they were hung up with dried blood on a wall like trophies. I was hogtied, smothered, ripped hair from scalp, forced child labor, left outside during hot Florida summers where I drank water from a hose, ate dog food & slept on pine needles filled with poison ivy/oak, animal feces smeared on clothes that I had stolen from different schools. I was forced to switched schools until denied school all together. After my monster mother gained back custody, she enrolled me in a homeschool program where I stayed in a locked room for years in complete isolation without any education. CPS was called multiple times but did nothing since my monster mother cleaned up my 6 year younger mute sister & I in church clothes & propped us in chairs next to her so no opportunity to ask for help. Once the neighbor once snuck me out to the Orange County police department (Orlando, FL) who laughed, said “go home” b/c they thought it was a joke. At that moment in life, I began praying every day for either myself or her to die.
My exit strategy: A family member secretly gave me an SAT prep book to study in the locked closet, took me to take the test, hand forged my HS transcripts & helped me enroll into a Christian college that helped my transition into the world. I had no idea that I was a legal adult at 18 because I’d been brainwashed to believe my abuser owned me for life. In my mind, I had to do whatever it took to stay in college for as long as possible or I’d be forced back to the “house of hell.”
After college graduation, I had a great job, car, apartment, friends, beautiful life and pseudonym (new name & life story) that was given to me by my modeling agency. I began to believe the false life story of my life, completely blacked out my real childhood and let my guard down. My monster mother slowly lured me back in through manipulation, gaslighting, & brainwashing all over again. I was trapped once again and no one could find me for 6 years. My jealous mother made false filings at the courthouse about me (which I didn’t find out until my final escape years later), forced me to take her drugs, hard physical free labor, commit crimes resulting in multiple arrests all for complete power & control over me. After escape, stalked, tracked down, kidnapped & forced to a new location where the abuse escalated until I ended up in a locked basement. My soon to be husband searched endlessly for me, had no idea I was pregnant & never found me since I had no way to contact for help. After my son’s birth, we were separated by my monster mother who always wanted a boy. I could hear my baby crying for me through the ceiling boards of the basement. He could hear me back suffering from injuries. I made a decision to do anything to save us, even if it killed me. I was unknowingly being poisoned for 8 months before my final escape. The doctors had never seen anyone so far gone & survive. I would have given up on life but knew my baby needed me.
My final escape lead me to an abuse center which by the Grace of God is rated #2 in the US. The abuse advocates, attorneys, police, courts, & doctors who initially thought I wouldn’t survive, all worked together for free to save us. I received an IFP & placed in the State Victim Protection Program. Surviving to thriving was my ultimate justice.
😢❤😢 Hugs from Oklahoma....I'm glad that you were able to escape & survive.
Many deserved hugs. ❤️❤️
@FLBeautyQueen I’m sorry for what you went through. Unfortunately, you were tortured, but you are a fighter. Although, you went through negative life, you turned it to be positive. That was the answer to your negative situation you lived through. I’m happy for you. Keep strong!
I know abuse, I'm Praying for you! Hope you & your child is safe & happy. God Bless you! 🙏🙏
What an unbelievable story of human survival and resilience. I can only wish everyone got out and everyone could cope well enough to be able to thrive, and not just move like shadows through life.
So proud of the one that escaped and called the cops. As for the parents they should have been given life without the possibility of parole.
Absolutely
Agreed!😮
These two parents should spend the rest of their lives in prison for this. Never to see the light of day again.
Thank you to all the emergency services involved for taking this girl seriously and helping her.
It always bothers me that the cop doubts her and was gonna take her home until she showed the pix… I mean, how often do children lie about things like this.
Nobody ever believed me when I begged for help...I had to run away to stop the abuse.
And his chewing is so annoying! He never reassures her that she’s safe and will be ok
@michelleblubaugh5854
Because he doesn't know. He doesn't have control over what judges and Dr's say. He doesn't at that pont know what she walked out of or what he's walking into. You'd rather he lie?
My best friend's daughter has prader-willi syndrome (hunger is never satisfied). She went to camp and told them my friend threatened her with a gun (he has none) and locked her in a room because she wanted food. His life was a living hell for 4 months while the worthless CPS tried to prosecute him despite clear evidence of his innocence.
Children lie.
The officer was going into this blind. He was trying to understand what he was dealing with. Is this girl on drugs? Is she lying? Is she intellectually delayed? And most importantly is she a danger (is this a set up)? The society we live in now put yourselves in the shoes of that officer. This would be a lot to take in and at the very end of his shift. In the end these children were saved and these captors were imprison!

@@Nous520 💗💗💗💗
These ignorant losers need to go to jail for a Very Very Long Time!!!!😢
@Nous520 😢 Ditto 😢
that's riding the fine line of 'well they have it worse than you do over there, so you have no right to complain about anything'
The sad thing is that there was $2 million in donations that came in for the children and $400K went to the hospital and other places. Many of these children face food and housing insecurity.
You mean STARVATION AND HOMELESSNESS. I am so bloody tired of these hypocritical use of euphemisms to white wash grotesque behaviors. Isn’t just so sweet - they weren’t starving, they were food insecure!! BS. Food insecurity is if I run out of cream for my coffee, not being starved for weeks on end!!!
400k went to cover medical bills?
Heartbreaking!!
Seems everyone had their hand out instead of doing the charitable thing.
@@luvpamelanewton Oh yes, we forget that hospitals are supposed to take care of a dozen kids for months all for free.
In the many years of news reports of abuse, I'm so fed up of seeing the neighbors commentaries after the fact. Yet not one person did anything to alert authorities 😮
Shame on them as well 😢
I think that they moved to a different state and they didn’t know ow where to find them. But I definitely agree ALWAYS call. If you’re wrong so what. If you’re right you can save lives
Neighbours didn't know, they said it themselves. It's obvious they had such a hold on these kids, they kept quiet and learnt not to stir up suspicion.
Agree.
Complicit.
@@boombastic108 And how much are YOU complicit in? Those in glass houses & what not.
I’m so proud of the kids for overcoming their early life. The odds were stacked against them, but they have survived and thrived! ❤
Those children are so strong, I know that they are going to continue to be survivors.
I can’t believe the mother is crying saying she doesn’t want her kids to be sad or depressed when they caused all this. She’s only crying because she got caught this isn’t a one time incident this was years & years of extreme cruelty & starvation. I do think our foster care system needs a total overhaul & more home checks & accountability.
There just aren't enough people to do those checks to keep people accountable sadly.
As soon as she says “what’s injuries” with a young child like speech pattern my fricken heart broke and I’m crying
Notice the parents ain’t messed a meal
So the parents are thin it's okay? No way
I was mistreated and sexually abused when I was a kid. When I was in my teens I ran away from home. My step mother and my real mother were a piece of shit. All my years I said to myself whenever I had kids, I wasn’t going to be a bad mother. I now have 5 kids, two graduate and the rest are still in school. People have to stop playing victim, even though they were at some point. They need to get up and be a better example. I always tell my kids that failure is not an option.
Being able to stop the cycle of abuse is your greatest success. Congrats to you for all your hard work in changing your legacy.
I would be careful with saying that "failure is not an option." It can put pressure on kids to over perform. I was raised with that message, and I had crippling anxiety to the point that I am scared to do things that may result in failure. I had to learn that failure is not always a bad thing, it can serve as an opportunity to reflect and learn.
Reading what happened to these children with their parents then later the abuse by their foster parents is heart breaking. We live in such an evil uncaring world.
Not all is evil. Mostly good prevails.
If a person sees something bad or looking wrong... they MUST say something. Too many people stay silent & that does NOT help, it hurts the problem. We are ALL in this together. Don't ever be afraid to speak out.
The look on the "mom's" face as she stares at the police officer was super creepy! And it made me mad how the cop acted like he didn’t have any training in abuse cases while he questioned Jordan.
Most American police DONT have much training in anything, especially not deescalation, or trauma
I don’t like the way the cop is questioning her, such as “why didn’t you guys just leave?”
and smacking his gum.
OMG this!! At the end the officer is praised, but when he was talking to her I'm the begining it was difficult how he wasn't listening. You can tell at first he thought this was a typical teen who ran away because they didn't feel their life was fair.
Same for the operater who answered the phone.
It's a good thing she at least transferred the call and sent someone and not just dismiss her altogether and say just go back home.
She probably would have if it wasn't for chains mentioned.
I believe he was trying to get from her a statement that she and others had been captive, unable to leave. That meant they could go in without a warrant. He may also have wondered whether it was a situation where some children were recruited by the parents to mistreat the others.
Ok nobody cares how you feel about the cop doing his job or smacking gum. He did his job right? Kids are safe? Cool didnt see you doing shit to save them.
The smacking of the gum was very unprofessional and gross.
This was one of the saddest cases I’ve ever heard. The “dad” looks like a ---- and they are both psychopaths.
They outright informed us he's a pedo. He was charged with sexual contact with a minor. I'm assuming he molested at least one of his kids. 🤮🤮🤮
Despite having been captive and isolated, she's a really bright young lady who is incredibly courageous. Dedicated to saving her abused siblings, too. ❤
My mother was a monster to me and my father was hardly ever there. I only saw him maybe 12 times before my mom kicked me out at 17. They never told me they were getting a divorce or even after they did. Apparently my dad had woman on the side. Even with all that I find myself lucky compared to those children and adults in that household. It made me cry, but I find myself crying a lot still and I am 66. I always thought something is terribly wrong with me and I believe that to this day.
I wish them all a wonderful life from now on.
NOTHING was nor is wrong with you sweetheart. God loves ❤ you and made you perfectly. He has always wanted the very best in life for you and still does. That's a forever promise to you. Ask Him & then let Him heal you body, mind & soul. Yes, ask Him & He will sweetheart.❤
Im glad they finally got their money back!! Go fund me raised mountains of cash - the state tried to keep it! They had no right. Luckily they are better off now having legally taken the money back. They deserve it!! 🙏🏻❤️
Actually, the lady who was head of the CPS department of Orange County at the time these kids were rescued, spent a lot of that $2 million in donations. That money was supposed to be used by the kids to start a new life. The lady who was the head of CPS of Orange County (I can’t remember her name) was exposed by one of those shows like 20/20 or 48 Hours as having a full time job as a realtor and rarely going to her full time job as the head honcho of CPS. She should be exposed and locked up.
Newsome and his cronies just wanted money for drugs.
I only thought I had a miserable childhood. I didn’t realize just how good I had it. These kids deserved nothing but love and happiness and everything good in this world.
I know this story, but I had no idea how incredibly brave Jordan was. I can't even imagine how terrified she must have been, but she did it anyway. This is what a true hero looks like.
That gum the officer is chewing while talking to the girl in the car, that disgusting sound is driving me crazy.
He is real classy! 🤦
He is real classy! 🤦
He is real classy! 🤦
My youngest brother was so horribly abused at a Alabama boys home. My mom and stepdad just dropped him off there because he was in their way. The horrible abuse he endured at home too.
When you think you can imagine what might be the worst case scenario a child might be living in, think again! The evil some children experience is beyond imagination. These kids deserve the world’s help in order to recover and begin to lead ‘normal’ lives.
That was so horrible and the lack of protection once they were saved.
Man, when Jordan said what’s medication I kind of just wanted to give her a hug good for her on escaping
House of horrors indeed! How can anyone treat a child this way?
I’m so proud of that sweet innocent girl setting her siblings free and an Angel of a policeman to believe her…I’m so glad she’s going to helps others in that situation
I'm so glad these children got saved because of the bravery of their sister but also how heartbreaking that some of them were put in terrible dangerous foster homes thats just horrible. I wish them all a fabulous life from now on.
I am a firm believer in not being your neighbor's keeper.... But I often wonder how many houses like this are just around any block. There is a fine line... Up to a certain point. You never know, do you? I was involved peripherally in a situation a bit like this.... I just thought the kids from across the street were being curious. It was when they all started showing up for supper every night that I made the decision to call authorities. Turns out my neighbors were getting money to foster, only they weren't fostering. I will never forget the little boy... It was February and he was cold. All I had was this white, puffy faux designer womens' coat someone had given me. He was thankful for it. That experience tsught me that asking questions was the right thing to do.
I think when children are involved we need to be more vigilant like you did! I am sure that little boy will always remember you for your kindness.
GOD BLESS YOU , YO AN WONDERFUL WOMAN for helping the lil boy Thank You With All MY ❤, from State of Maine 🦋
It breaks my heart even after they got out of that hellish house and away from their parents, they still endured more abuse the system is so broken. I’m so glad what these evil ppl did didn’t break these kids and didn’t have them become the abuser. They are so strong and an inspiration for so many! I know they will do amazing things. Jordan was so brave to take that first step to get help and freedom!
These two deserve to be treated in jail the way they treated those innocent children. So disgusting.
Mother was abused as a child 😢. Doesn't mean that she had the right to abuse her children 😡😡😡. I'm just glad they are better now 😢😢😢
the officer chewing skittles is so annoying XD
I was just going to say...obnoxious
Maybe he is nervous, by doing that it STOPS him from crying.
Disgusting AF
Yes. Lots of things going on in the house
I’m sure he’s in SHOCK listening to this young girl who doesn’t know the word injuries or medication!
Most Southern Californians will never forget this case. Especially if you were a homeschooling family. Those horrific "parents" put a bullseye on good parents backs'. Then the politicians took it as an opportunity to write even more draconian laws than we already had. Thankfully there was a unified voice that said "NO", "We will not be punished for the actions of others!!". Those Bills were quickly struck down.
Then to find out that the children were treated even worse by the State! How dare they think they could legislate more control over us when they couldn't control their own employees!
It's so wonderful to hear the older children are doing so much better. But we never hear about the younger children & how they're doing. I 🙏 they're doing well too & finally know what parental love is supposed to look & feel like.
When the two girls speak, it's almost as if they're foreign. At first, when I heard them speak, I was so sad. My stomach was clenching until I realized that every day since they left that horrific situation must be amazing for them. I hope those kids end up living normal happy lives. I don't know if that is possible, but I hope so.
I lived in that area at the time this happened...this was so unbelieveable that those poor children (and adult children) had to live like that. I hope those parents never get paroled. They dont deserve to live a normal life...their kids do!
Jordan, i hope you are proud of what you did and doing well. You saved them all.
I HOPE THESE 2 PEOPLE NEVER GET OUT OF PRISON.
I just want to say that this wasn’t in the video but I’ve seen the second part so actually the parents wrote a letter from prison to the kid and it said we are so sorry mommy and daddy love you. Bats and school will be done more often there shall be no more in the house.
Wow these kids deserves the world the sky and more. You guys are so strong that i will be shy to complaine from now on !
Wow. What amazing children..and I can’t believe the mother in her last statement, “I want our kids to know we’ll be ok”..STILL only thinking about themselves!! Not at all about what those children went through,or had to go through in the future..some ppl are sick. It’s like couples with huge families always have problems with SA, torture, keeping kids tied up,or restrained in some form,and of course all the mental and emotional abuse like buying brand new nice things for your kids, and never letting them have it. That, is disgusting. This was definitely a horror story,but I’m glad it has a better ending than most..praying for those kiddos! ❤❤❤❤
Only 3 of the 13 siblings spoke.. I wonder how the other 10 are doing. There were no updates provided for them. I pray, I pray so loud for their recovery & well being. 🙏 ❤
I've seen this story from many different sources and it's always worth watching. Jordan Turpin is so brave.
Jordan has a spirit and an agency strong enough to push through a thickness of oppression, brainwashing and abuse that would smother most. A true hero. I wish her well and I hope that she uses her future assets to help her brothers and sisters recover from the subsequent abuse at the hands of the State. Maybe they should sue.
I just can't wrap my head around how parents could treat children this way. Also, even worse, is the welfare department. My mother fostered for years, and the children were treated like her own. They were loved and taken care of. So I have A LOT of trouble with the abusive homes kids have been placed in. So good to see the end with beautiful Jordan. I pray that she will be happy and whole. And Jennifer. She shows not hatred or animosity toward her parents. These girls are so special.
There is no punishment harsh enough to please me
I hear you on that one
Richest country, richest state...and yet no funds to rehabilitate these innocent victims? Dumped into unprofessional foster care where the abuse continued? Compare that to Austria's treatment of the Fritzl kids freed from their dungeon.
WHERE are the younger children NOW? They said they went to abusive and crime ridden foster homes...but where are they NOW? : ( And oh my gosh...the strength and resiliency of these children....bless them so big!!
Seeing Jordan reuniting with the officer who came out the night she called has me bawling 😭 he's her Superman
It’s so telling they don’t even know how old they are and that all over 18 are literally hostages. 😢
I can’t hold back the tears for these children ! Thank you God for protect these children .
This is why I am against home schooling of children without disabilities. No safety net, no way out. An private schools are unregulated.
They could easily change the law to ensure inspection. My children were home educated to ensure they actually got a decent education. They've all gone on to get degrees and have good jobs. But where I live, we have inspectors, you have to show you're providing a suitable education.
Look at what happened to Timothy Ferguson. Starved and tortured for 6 month and lay dying in a ice bath for 9hr the day he died.
I pray these children are all safe now and living their best lives as they deserve nothing but true love, joy and happiness xx
Jordan is so frickin adorable. I am so happy she is doing well in life right now. I really hope the rest of her siblings are/will too.
This is downright heart-wrenching. It’s enough to break a persons entire spirit 😢
I am genuinely in tears at the end of this video, when jordan talked about going to a park for the first time i broke. Well done for getting out of there Jordan!!
What's even more sad is that some of those kids went into foster care and got s*****ly abused by their foster parents.
That cop and his gum chewing and 20 fucking questions was PISSING ME OFF SO BAD. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
Same here. I'm like, Dude get your a** in there and save the kids.
Textbook Victim Blaming 💔
It's like they support this type of behaviour. Him seeing evidence and being so relaxed is shocking.
Honestly 😡
Same here!!Close your effing mouth and do your job!!He must be one of the most annoying police men i have ever heard!!
That sweet child is a brave little lady.
“How could heaven be better than this” 😢❤
She communicates like a child in a horror game.
"They're being punished because they stole mother's food."
This happened in my town and what’s even worse is everybody that donated for the future of the children…. the city of Riverside spent the money, can’t find the money, they don’t know where any of the money went. So a lot of the children were struggling after. Such a sad story
It is so sad that children can be treated like this...and by their own parents. I hope to God they are all being loved.
Beautiful hearts the Turpin girls have. I hope they will heal from their nightmare childhood and break the cycle of abuse. I wish them all the very best in life💞♥💕🥰
This is so sad. God bless the young girl’s bravery and courage to go into a world that was foreign to her in order to save her brothers and sisters.
