Turpin captivity case: Children forgive parents for torture bbc.com

A California couple's children have forgiven them for years of torture and starvation as the parents were sentenced to life in prison. David and Louise Turpin's children told a court they still loved their mother and father despite all the abuse. The couple were arrested in January 2018 when their 17-year-old daughter escaped the filthy home in Perris. The Turpins pleaded guilty to the abuse of all but one of their 13 children for at least nine years. They are expected to serve the rest of their lives behind bars, unless granted parole in 25 years.
