Breaking: A Perris couple who for years tortured, abused and imprisoned their children, starving them and at times chaining them to their beds, were sentenced Friday to 25 years to life in prison.
Louise and David Turpin, who have 13 children, are shown in court last year. The parents were sentenced Friday after pleading guilty to multiple felony counts.
The horrific details of the case have drawn attention around the world, but Friday was the first time some of the siblings publicly spoke for themselves. Their message was largely one of looking toward the future. A number of them spoke of the love they still have for their parents. "I believe our parents tried their best...they believed everything they did was to protect us," the statement said."I want to be allowed to talk to both my parents by phone."
At a hearing in June, investigators said the siblings told them that while they lived in Texas, David Turpin would inflict physical punishments that escalated in severity. At times, the children were placed in cages or a dog kennel. In California, Louise Turpin was the one who inflicted much of the corporal punishment, investigators said.
