Filth and scratch marks around Turpin family's former homes
The two appeared in court on Thursday to plead not guilty on all charges. A court conference was scheduled for February 23 in Riverside. Their bail was set at $9 million for each one.
The Turpins have been charged with 12 counts of torture and other criminal counts, and they face 94 years to life in prison if convicted as charged, according to KTLA. They were provided with food and beverages because they said they were starving.
She climbed out of a window to escape the house along with her sister - who turned back out of fear, leaving her to go it alone.
She said that "God called on" the couple to have 13 children, who were given a "very strict home-schooling" which included memorising long passages from the Bible.
One of the victims is age 12 and is the weight of a 7-year-old while the 29-year-old was 82 pounds, Hestrin said.
The children - whose names all begin with J in a chilling echo of reality TV family the Kardashians - never received dental care, and they had not seen a doctor in more than four years, it is claimed. Separating the children from their parents "and giving them a chance to have normal, new family members is a big plus", said Ochberg, a trustee for the Trust for Trauma Journalism, an organization that supports journalists who report on violence, conflict and tragedy.
Heilman said the goal would be to keep the siblings together, but that will likely be hard. "These individuals sleep all day and are up all night". Hestrin said the family would typically go to sleep around 4:00am to 5:00am and sleep through the day.
In addition, Mr Hestrin revealed prosecutors will allege the Turpins used ropes to tie up their children for many years, including hog-tying one child, before beginning to use chains and padlocks after one child escaped.
Neighbors said the Turpins and their children rarely emerged from their unkempt home in the new built development of closely spaced single-family houses. The couple apparently had enough money. The children were not allowed to play with them.

"They would buy food, including pies, apple, pumpkin pies, leave it on the counter, let the children look at it but not eat the food".
"The abuse and severe neglect intensified over time and intensified as they moved to California", Hestrin said.
A Facebook page that appeared to have been created by the parents showed the couple dressed in wedding clothes, surrounded by 10 girls in matching purple plaid dresses and three male children in suits.
The DA also shared really disturbing details about what went on in this house for years.
After the children were taken out of the home this week, Hestrin said they were all examined by medical professionals who found that they suffered from severe caloric malnutrition associated with muscle waste. All victims, ranging in age from 2 to 29, were found shackled to their beds amid foul conditions in the house in the 100 block of Muir Woods Road after the unidentified 17-year-old got a hold of law enforcement.
The siblings told officers that they were starving and police did not give the parents' motive for holding the children captive.
When officers from the Perris Police Department and Riverside County Sheriff's Department met with the girl, they thought she was only 10 years old because she was slightly emaciated.
However, if they were found to have washed their hands above the wrist area, they would be accused of "playing in the water" - an "offence" that could attract punishment from their parents.
