Parents of chained siblings charged with torture

The parents of 13 siblings who were starved and chained to beds in California have been charged with torture and child endangerment. David Allen Turpin, 57, and Louise Anna Turpin, 49, were arrested on Sunday after a 17-year-old emaciated girl escaped from their house in Perris, about 70 miles east of Los Angeles, and called police. Police said they found several of the couple's 13 children, aged between two and 29, "shackled to their beds with chains and padlocks in dark and foul-smelling surroundings". "The victims appeared to be malnourished and very dirty," a statement said.

This is tragic post and also very disturbing. Shocking news across the world. It creates so much sympathy across the world also because viewers such as myself will see this post and feel so sorry for the innocent 13 siblings who went through this tragic experience. It is also quite disturbing because as my last weeks Weekly News I touched upon crime no a days because link towards the younger generations but no. We still so shocking posts such as this and this almost opens our eyes as a society to see that the world is full of crime committed by people of all ages.
