Amazing and horrible story from America ( where else )

mikey, you think this case is worse than the Fred and Rose West murders and rapes of their own children?

[mikey4444]

HC....no, of course not, but you are comparing oranges and apples.

[hc4361]

mikey, I was just confused by your earlier post

"Mamy....you are right but I can't recall an event as bad as this occurring in the UK....."

[mikey4444]

hc....nothing to be confused about ! The West case and the Turpin case have nothing whatsoever in common.

[hereIam]

No, the West case was far, far worse !

hc - Mikey flies off at tangents, it's too exhausting trying to keep up so I don't bother.

[mikey4444]

In deed it was....much, much more worse. As far as we know, nobody has been killed in the Turpin case.

Just have to say that I’m so impressed that no-one took the bait on this thread where someone tried to make it about race.

Well done everyone.

Anyway back to the real story. I find it odd that the children were allowed out for family trips. Perhaps these trips got rarer and rarer as the kids got older.

Another thing comes to mind, and it’s the same thing I thought with Fred and Rose West...what is the likelihood of two monsters meeting? Or does one start of relatively normal and then gets groomed?

I suppose it will all come out in the trial.

Those poor kids are going to need some serious therapy...God only knows how social services are going to handle placing them with foster families...

The news reports blur the faces of the children but their Facebook page, is still open. Two things spring to mind when you look at the pictures of the children. One is that all the children look like clones of their parents in every picture. Dressed the same, same hair etc. (even the male children with that awful bowl
cut). The second is that they all look genuinely happy! Honestly they do, all of them. They must have been totally brainwashed.

according to the news this morning they had been tortured, appalling.

[emmie]

what parents would do such a thing to their own children i hope the parents get sentenced accordingly to a long term in prison.

California needs to wake up and see that this was an accident waiting to happen. How many more kids are at risk from such a lax system of laws ?

[emmie]

also going on the news the eldest child? is 29, why didn't they call for help before this got so bad.

[ummmm]

Because they were brainwashed. It's all they really knew.

[meglet]

Makes me think perhaps the older ones were shackled (I read a report that said it was 3 of the 13 that were chained up, not all).

The one who escaped and went for help obviously wasn’t brainwashed. Well, enough anyway.

[ummmm]

I think most of us were/are blessed with good parents and most of us know what children are like...you can emotionally damage them very easily. If you insult them and put them down you zap every bit of confidence out of them.
