I watched 2020 last night and cried thru most of it. The shit parents took over 2 minutes to open the door because they were trying to unchain the kids, they got the girls unchained but didn't get to the boys so they piled a bunch of boxes in front of the bedroom door, i suppose, hoping the cops wouldn't see it. The filth was amazing in the house, like hoarders, piles and piles of new children's clothes and new toys with tags still on. The pile of stuff was so high in the "patent's" bedroom the cop had difficulty opening the top drawer of the dresser to get the padlock keys out to unchain the boys. The baby was in a crib waving at them while they searched for the keys. Damn it was absolutely heartbreaking.
 
That was hard to watch. This show points out the multiple times CA just fucked over these kids. From letting the Turpin school "operate" with absolutely no checks and balances to now when all the aid money, etc. is tied up in red tape.

The three parts that really got me were: the map that the oldest drew for Jordan to find her way around the neighborhood, the creepy as fuck wedding vowel renewal video and the part of the 911 call when the operator asked Jordan if anyone in the house was on medication and her response was "what is medication?"
 
Vanessa Espinoza, who worked as a deputy public guardian assigned to the adult children, was unwilling to help the children with things like teaching them to use public transit, crossing the street safely, and how to access medical and dental benefits, according to a recent profile from 20/20. The eldest brother Joshua said that Espinoza would tell him to “Google it” when he asked for things. The kids were also allegedly denied legitimate access to trust money meant for them.
Espinoza, who reportedly stopped working for the county last August, denied wrongdoing in a Facebook post, but said that she could not share much information because of confidentiality of the case. She said she had resigned as deputy public guardian for a reason she said had nothing to do with this case or failure to perform her duties. From the statement:

…any and all funds received on behalf of those individuals, have always been accounted for to the court, the individuals’ court appointed attorneys, the Riverside County Public Guardian’s County Counsel, Public Guardian’s upper management, and the individuals themselves.

She said she had no issued cooperating with an independent investigation, “submitting any and all necessary proof to the law firm or departments charged with this investigation, so that my name can be cleared from these false allegations.”

They probably won't find any wrongdoing just that she was a cunt who refused to release funds to the Turpin children.
 

Jordan Turpin a TikTok star after surviving depraved ‘House of Horrors’​

jordan-tiktok-2.jpg

Jordan Turpin has more than 475,000 followers on TikTok, where the 21-year-old posts typical dance videos and her bio reads: “I love helping others! Love to dance and write songs!”

But there is nothing typical about the cheerful blonde.

But on social media, Turpin, who expressed excitement upon being verified by TikTok this week, seems to be focusing on more positive pursuits.

“Hey guys, I just wanted to pop on here really quick and say thank you so much for all the love and all the support,” she said in a video. “Whoever has followed me or watched my videos, I appreciate you so much and I love you guys so much.”

Turpin has also used it as a platform to advocate for her siblings, some of whom are still struggling, and expressed gratitude for those who have contributed to the JAYC Foundation, which was founded by Jaycee Dugard, who was abducted as a child, and helps families who have experienced crisis.

“People have been asking me do I see my siblings often, how are my siblings doing. I want to let you know, I do see my siblings very often and I love them so much. We are not in the best living situation right now but we do have a roof over our head and we have a way to get food and we are all very thankful for that,” she said.
 
So sad...

2 Turpin siblings molested by foster father after ‘horror house’ rescue: report​

A foster father caring for five children who were saved from the California “house of horrors” where they were held captive allegedly molested two of them, according to a report Thursday.

Marcelino Olguin, 63, of Perris, is facing seven counts of committing a lewd and lascivious act on a child after allegedly victimizing two of the 13 Turpin siblings who escaped their parents’ home in 2018, the Daily Mail reported.

Olguin’s 58-year-old wife, Rosa, and his daughter Lennys, 37, are also facing charges of fraud and witness intimidation.

Charging documents obtained by the outlet show Marcelino inappropriately touched two of the girls, including one who was under 14, more than 50 times on their upper thighs and buttocks.

The foster dad also forcibly kissed the victims, told them they were “sexy” and recommended that they not wear undershirts, according to an affidavit.

Olguin reportedly had little to say when approached by the outlet for comment.

“F–k you,” he replied when asked if he was a pedophile or regretted abusing some of the Turpin children.
 

Child welfare boss who sent five rescued Turpin children to live with an alleged pedophile as foster parents are charged with molesting two of the sisters and torturing the others​

Smartly dressed in a navy print blouse and a chunky resin necklace: this is the child welfare boss whose social workers sent five of the traumatized Turpin children to live with an alleged pedophile.

Charity Douglas, 50, has run the Riverside County Children's Services Division since September 2018 when her predecessor was forced out over an abuse case that saw a 13-year-old girl repeatedly raped and left pregnant by her mother's boyfriend.

Douglas, who has worked for Riverside County since 2013 and earns a handsome $214,765 salary, is now facing questions after DailyMail.com revealed that the Turpin children were left in the care of Marcelino Olguin, 63, who has been charged with the sexual abuse of two of them and of physically and mentally torturing all five.

All three are set to appear in court in Riverside, California, on Monday where they will be arraigned for their alleged crimes – which also include the abuse of a further four foster children. One, a five-year-old girl was regularly left in soiled clothing and forced to stand for hours on end, charging documents say.

The nine children remained with the Olguins until their arrest in March 2021.

Asked to comment on the case, a spokesman for the Riverside Department of Public and Social Services said: 'Neither DPSS or Charity Douglas are commenting as an independent investigation by the Larson firm is ongoing.'

That investigation into the county's handling of the Turpin case is headed by retired judge Stephen Larson. It was due to report on by the end of March but that date has now been pushed back to May 31.

A colleague of Larson's has complained that his work has been hampered by lack of access to records.
 
<<<We are not in the best living situation right now but we do have a roof over our head and we have a way to get food and we are all very thankful for that,” she said.

Prisons provide all this and much more. They have to or face the wrath of Cain from both inside and outside the prison walls.

I hope that Jordan and her siblings will realize that they can place the bar of what they will or should tolerate much higher than this.
 
The Turpin siblings who were freed from their abusive parents' house of horrors in Southern California have suffered a new blow with some of the adult children forced to live in miserable conditions in a run-down apartment in a crime-ridden area.
Court documents that were previously sealed in the case of David and Louise Turpin - who made headlines around the world after they were arrested for shackling and starving their 13 children for years - are slowly being released in Riverside County.
The Turpin's adult children were taken to see an apartment in an undisclosed suburb by an employee for the Riverside County Public Guardian's office just months after they were freed in 2018.
A 2019 court filing by their attorney Jack Osborn said three of the siblings were 'fearful to object so they indicated that the apartment was okay with the expectation that other apartments would be viewed.'
When they raised concern about the neighborhood, the agency said the lease was already signed and the only alternative would be to split them up and place them in a board and care facility, according to Mr Osborn, who represented all seven adult children in court.
All but the two-year-old were severely underweight and hadn't bathed for months and investigators concluded the youngest child was the only one not abused by the couple.
The document release comes after ABC reported that Riverside County's social service system failed in various instances to help the seven adult and six minor children transition to new lives.

The county has hired a private law firm to look into the allegations.

Osborn and the office of the Public Guardian, which is the county agency tasked with assisting adults unable to properly care for themselves or manage their finances, have been contacted for comment.

Brooke Federico, a spokeswoman for Riverside County, declined to discuss details of the case said the release of the court documents will assist with the law firm's review.
Not all court documents in the case have been unsealed. It was not immediately known whether the five adult children moved to the apartment described as 'in a state of significant disrepair' in Osborn's filing, and if so, how long they stayed. In his filing, Osborn wrote that the Public Guardian's office said the apartment was going to be fixed.
But the account is similar to comments aired by two of the Turpin children in an interview last year with ABC and by Melissa Donaldson, Riverside County´s director of victim services, who said at times the children did not have a safe place to stay or enough food.
The comments were especially surprising because in the days after their release, the adult and minor children were taken to hospitals for treatment and donations and support poured in from around the world.
In a separate filing this year, Osborn raised questions about $1.2 million reportedly collected in donations to assist the siblings in the days and weeks after their release and how the one of the siblings who remains under a conservatorship with the Public Guardian can access these charities.
That sibling, in 2019, objected to being sent to a board and care facility rather than remaining with her family as they moved to the apartment, Osborn wrote at the time.

Her siblings said 'immediate separation from her brothers and sisters will continue the trauma that she has suffered,' Osborn wrote, particularly since she never complained about the abuse and followed the house rules, which they believe 'has resulted in some significant developmental issues.'
The siblings dropped the objection a few weeks later so long as she had frequent contact with them, court papers showed.

The new revelations come just weeks after the revelation that the child welfare system sent five of the traumatized Turpin children to live with an alleged pedophile was.

Every person involved needs to be fired and prosecuted.

With the amount of money raised a small house could have been purchased and private caretakers could have been hired to help the young adults become more independent and capable of living on their own.

Those poor kids, and they are all still kids, have been so abused and disrespected by the very people who were supposed to help to learn how to live independently. The whole house needs to be cleaned out and every person that had any control over the living conditions ad funds that these kids have should be fired.
 
Shades of the Duggars!

If those are the children in the wedding pictures, then there are 10 girls and 3 boys. I can't imagine chaining kids to bed and keeping them in their filthy rooms 24-7. Just why would you do that?

And yeah that gazing adoringly into each others eyes, sickening. Especially when they already have 13 cildren they're not looking after.

The 13 Turpin siblings, rescued in 2018 from captivity in their parents' California home, were "failed" by the social services system that was supposed to care for them and help transition them into society, according to a report issued Friday by outside investigators hired by Riverside County.

"Some of the younger Turpin children were placed with caregivers who were later charged with child abuse," the 630-page report found. "Some of the older siblings experienced periods of housing instability and food insecurity as they transitioned to independence."

The seven-month probe was the result of an investigation by ABC News as part of the Diane Sawyer 20/20 special, "Escape From A House of Horror," that aired last November, in which two of the Turpin siblings spoke out for the first time about the challenges and hardships they have faced in the years since sheriff's deputies rescued them from a life of home imprisonment.

"With respect to the Turpin siblings, we conclude there were many times over the last four years that they received the care they needed from the County," the report found. "This was not always the case, however, and all too often the social services system failed them."
[....]
"In short, while there are many examples of dedicated Riverside County personnel succeeding despite the systemic obstacles in their way, there are too many other examples of falling short or even failing outright," the report found.

In the response to the report, County Supervisor Karen Spiegel said in a statement, "This is the time to act and I will support all efforts to meet the challenge."

While many of the specifics in the report were redacted due to privacy concerns, the investigation outlined a number of specific instances where services failed, as well as when they succeeded. It also included a number of recommendations for reform moving forward.

In a statement, County Executive Officer Jeff Van Wagenen, who commissioned the investigation, said the recommendations would "guide our continuing efforts to improve outcomes in the days, weeks and months to come."

Referring to its investigation of the Riverside social welfare system more broadly, the report found that there were "many examples of dedicated Riverside County personnel succeeding despite the systemic obstacles in their way" -- but ultimately that "there are too many other examples of falling short or even failing outright."

 
I hate to say it but this lines up with that Russian girl who was adopted at age 7 or 8 by a pedophile. I think her name was Masha. She was eventually rescued when they matched up her hotel room decor in child porn with that of a Disney resort and were able to find her. She got fucked so hard by the people that were proclaiming they were "rescuing" her that she made the comment that at least when her stepfather fucked her, she knew she got to go to Disney.

 
With the amount of money raised and what people would have continued to donate the state could have supplied a home and around the clock care for the siblings so they could remain together in one home.

I still think the state was stealing the money that was raised for those kids and I will never believe any different.
 
The Turpin siblings, who made headlines in 2018 when they were rescued from their parents’ “house of horrors” in California, were allegedly abused by their foster family — who forced them to eat their own vomit and told them to commit suicide, according to two new lawsuits.
Six of the youngest 13 Turpin children filed the lawsuits Tuesday against Riverside County and a private foster care agency, ChildNet Youth and Family Services.


The children claim they were physically, sexually and emotionally abused under the care of their foster parents, Marcelino and Rosa Olguin — and the agencies tasked with protecting them knew and failed to step in.
Marcelino and Rosa Olguin have not been named in the civil suit but Riverside County prosecutors charged the couple earlier this year on multiple accounts of abuse and neglect. They have pleaded not guilty.
“It was just trauma, inflicted upon trauma, which really made it so much worse because just when they thought maybe their lives were going to get a lot better, it really didn’t,” Roger Booth, an attorney representing four of the siblings told The Post Wednesday.


“It’s going to take some time for them to recover and learn to trust people because at this point, there’s been very few adults that they’ve been able to trust.”
According to the complaint obtained by The Post, Marcelino Olguin sexually abused the children by “grabbing and fondling their buttocks, legs and breasts, kissing them on the mouth and making sexually suggestive comments.”
The siblings also allege the Olguins forced them to eat “excessive” amounts of food — and then made them eat their own vomit if they threw their meals up. The abuse allegedly caused some of the children to develop eating disorders.
The family also berated the traumatized kids, telling them they were “worthless, would never be loved and should commit suicide,” the lawsuit claims.


“Defendants owed a duty of care to plaintiffs to protect them from abuse and neglect. This duty arose from defendants’ role as the foster family agency that certified Mr. and Ms. O. as foster parents, placed plaintiffs in the home and oversaw plaintiffs while they lived in the home, including visiting them on a weekly basis,” according to the complaint.
“Defendants breached this duty of care by, among other things, failing to report the abuse and neglect by the foster parents to child protective services or law enforcement, actively withholding this information from the authorities, placing plaintiffs in the home and allowing plaintiffs to remain in the home for three years despite being aware of the ongoing abuse and neglect detailed above.”
The lawsuit also alleges the Olguins and their daughter, Lennys, struck them with belts, pulled their hair and made them recount the sickening abuse they suffered at their hands of their parents, David and Louise Turpin.
Elan Zekster, an attorney representing the two older Turpin siblings who filed a separate, similar lawsuit, said Wednesday that the continued abuse they suffered “should make everyone angry.”

“These children who were chained to their beds for a great majority of their life finally are free, and then the county places them with ChildNet and puts them in another position where they are further abused,” Zekster told ABC’s “Good Morning America” Wednesday.

Everyone involved in that failure should be in jail. How many other foster children did youth and family services put in that "home"? What a terrible betrayal of the Turpins. Can you imagine torturing victims of torture who were placed in your home? I just can't wrap my head around that.
 

‘House of Horrors’ survivor Jordan Turpin 5 years after daring escape: ‘I usually cry’​

“House of Horrors” survivor Jordan Turpin is still struggling to adjust to normal life five years after her daring escape from captivity.

The 22-year-old — who spent her entire childhood imprisoned inside her California home alongside her 12 siblings — is laying bare the trauma she still carries in a heartbreaking new interview, revealing that she spends her life on the constant verge of tears.

Despite being hailed a hero after alerting authorities to the abuse that was occurring at her home, Turpin told Elle on Monday that the past half-decade has been a struggle for her, stating: “My normal day? I usually cry.”

“I try to get myself to eat,” Turpin candidly continued. “And then I start to do my makeup, but I cry, so I have to do it over. And then I try to do a TikTok, but I’m like, ‘Oh, people are going to say this and that about me.’ Then I’m like, ‘Maybe I should get some air. I’m gonna go outside’ . . . and then I just cry again.”
 
An attorney for the tortured Turpin siblings said that life outside their parents’ “House of Horrors” is “impossible” for some of them to navigate.
Five years after fleeing her family home in Perris, California — where she and her 12 siblings were starved and shackled by their parents — Jordan Turpin is a rising social media star and aspiring motivational speakerwho has also inked a modeling deal.

But Jordan, now 22, and the rest of her siblings are still traumatized by the nightmarish physical, mental and emotional abuse doled out by their sadistic parents, their attorney told The Post.
“It’s a mixed bag,” attorney Elan Zektser, who represents five of the Turpins, said of their recovery. “All of them are doing fantastic in terms of what they’ve gone through. But if we’re comparing them to everyone else, and where they should be, a number of them are in some serious trouble.”
The five Turpins represented by Zektser, now in their early 20s, are still haunted and stunted by their captivity, he said.

“How do you navigate the world when you weren’t exposed to it as a child?” Zektser said. “It’s impossible.”
The siblings are scrambling to learn everything from how to handle money to engaging with other people, particularly strangers, he said.


“Just talking, you know?” Zektser continued on their current hurdles. “They didn’t go to school — how do you even know grammar, or how to interact with other people?”
And the depraved, relentless exploitation of some of the children didn’t end after their parents were arrested and charged by the Riverside County DA’s office, Zektser said. A foster family caring for six of the younger children sexually and physically abused them, authorities allege. Marcelino Olguin, 64, his wife, Rosa, 59, and their daughter Lennys, 38, were released on bail after pleading not guilty last March.
“They will tell you, if they could, they were emotionally abused more in that foster care house than they were in their own tortuous home,” Zektser told The Post of those six siblings. “They were retraumatized and due to already being fragile, they were made 10 times worse.”
Lawsuits filed in July on behalf of the alleged victims detail a harrowing scene in the Olguin home, located less than 10 miles from the Turpins’ former “House of Horrors” residence.

The Olguins and their daughter subjected the six Turpin siblings to severe physical, sexual and emotional abuse, allegedly urging them to commit suicide and threatening to return them to their “biological parents,” according to one of the suits.
The foster family allegedly also made the siblings “recount in detail the horrors” they suffered while with their parents and forced them to eat their own vomit, according to the lawsuit, which named ChildNet Youth Family Services and Riverside County as defendants.
Several nonprofit agencies — including one founded by Jaycee Lee Dugard, who was famously abducted as an 11-year-old in 1991 and held captive for 18 years — have raised a “substantial” amount of money on their behalf.

“But then that causes some difficulties because you can’t just give someone a substantial amount and expect them to know what to do with it,” Zektser said. “Plus, a lot of them are on government assistance and you would lose that assistance if you obtain that amount, and so it’s not that easy. It’s a very difficult situation.”
The siblings also have a collective lack of “mentorship,” he added, to deal with life as well as seeing their pain sensationalized in the media, Zektser said.
“That attracts even worse people, who want to leech onto that,” he said. “And that’s what’s happened to a lot of them.”

Turpin kids endured ‘worse’ treatment in foster care after rescue from parents’ ‘house of horrors’​

Six of the 13 Turpin siblings who were placed into foster childcare after being rescued from their sadistic parents’ captivity are seeking a settlement from their providers, claiming they were sexually and mentally abused by their foster parents.

“Some of the kids will tell you that what they experienced in the foster home was even worse than what they experienced at the hands of their parents,” Elan Zektser, the attorney representing the Turpin children, told The Sun on Tuesday.

The six youngest Turpin children had filed a lawsuit against Riverside County in California and a private foster care agency, ChildNet Youth and Family Services, in July 2022.

The children claimed they were physically, sexually, and emotionally abused while under the care of their foster parents, Marcelino and Rosa Olguin, who were both charged after the allegations were made in the civil lawsuit.
 

Turpin kids endured ‘worse’ treatment in foster care after rescue from parents’ ‘house of horrors’​


Sad, but not surprising.

The infamous California dad who tortured his 13 children by shackling, starving them and confining to the family home has been moved to a new prison over security concerns.
David Turpin, 62, appeared haggard with deepening bags under his eyes, but still sported a piercing stare, grimace and his signature gray mop-like haircut in a new mugshot taken Feb. 3 and obtained by The Post.

Turpin had housed at the California State Prison in Corcoran — once home to cult leader Charles Manson — before he was moved “due to safety and security concerns,” prison officials told The Post.
Prisoners may be transferred for various reasons, including if their security category has been changed, if the inmate is behaving in a disruptive way or for their own safety if there are threats of violence toward them.

While Turpin’s new housing arrangements are being kept under wraps, his children can request regular notices when he is moved and when his next parole hearing will taken place, according to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
