For Perris couple arrested after kids found chained, home-schooling kept spotlight away
"There are cases that stick with you, that haunt you", Hestrin said at a press conference Thursday.
The siblings range in age from two-years-old to 29-years-old.
The pair were charged with multiple felony counts of torture, child abuse, abuse of dependent adults and false imprisonment.
Photo David and Louise Turpin are the biological parents of the 13 siblings, authorities believe. He said several of the children didn't know what a police officer was.
The Turpin parents apparently allowed their children to keep journals, which according to Hestrin, have been confiscated for evidence and information. "This is depraved conduct".
David Turpin was also charged with committing a lewd act against a child by force or fear or duress, District Attorney Mike Hestrin told a press conference, adding that bail had been set at Dollars 13 million for each of the defendants. The malnourished children were reportedly sometimes made to look at pies left right in their view on a counter while they were starving. Hestrin called the new information "just a snapshot".
David and Louise Turpin, charged with torturing and abusing their 13 children, pleaded not guilty at a court arraignment Thursday.
The siblings, ranging in age from 2 to 29, were discovered in squalid conditions in Perris, 70 miles east of Los Angeles, after a 17-year-old girl escaped from the house and called 911.

Chris Henry criticises Munster for Grobler signing
Van Graan coached Grobler in school in South Africa. "If you asked most players from Ireland they'd say the same". They have big forwards, a very good kicking game with a left-footed flyhalf (Argentinian Benjamin Urdapilleta).
However, at least one of the older victims attended college classes, Mr Hestrin said, but his mother would accompany him, wait outside the classroom and when he was finished she would take him home. But Hestrin said they victims lacked basic knowledge, with some not knowing what a police officer was.
Another sibling escaped with the girl over the weekend but turned back out of fear.
"They were accused of playing in the water and they would be chained up", he said, adding that none of the victims were allowed to shower a few times a year. Hestrin said it appears they were able to get an 11-year-old and 14-year-old unchained but that a 22-year-old was still chained down to the bed when deputies entered the home. He stressed the investigation is ongoing. She says her son shared her Pentecostal Christian faith but he wasn't affiliated with a church in California.
Police arrived to find some of the children shackled to beds and furniture with chains and padlocks.
He said the victims were chained for weeks or even months at a time, not released even to use the bathroom. If they were found to have washed their hands above the wrist, they were accused of playing in the water and then were chained, Hestin said.
They were forced to sleep during the day and would stay up at night. That helped the Turpins' behavior escape detection by neighbors.
The Andersons thought the wear-and-tear inside the home came from animals, but suspect that after hearing about the allegations against the Turpins that the former homeowners allegedly abused their kids for years before their move to California.
