RIVERSIDE, Calif. — The 13 Turpin siblings, rescued in 2018 from captivity in their parents' California home, were 'failed' by the social services system that was supposed to care for them and help transition them into society, according to a report issued Friday by outside investigators hired by Riverside County.
Olivia Rubin, Arielle Mitropoulos, Josh Margolin, and Christina Ng, ABC NewsRIVERSIDE, Calif. — The 13 Turpin siblings, rescued in 2018 from captivity in their parents' California home, were"failed" by the social services system that was supposed to care for them and help transition them into society, according to a report issued Friday by outside investigators hired by Riverside County.
The seven-month probe was the result of an investigation by ABC News as part of the Diane Sawyer 20/20 special,"Escape From A House of Horror," that aired last November, in which two of the Turpin siblings spoke out for the first time about the challenges and hardships they have faced in the years since sheriff's deputies rescued them from a life of home imprisonment.
The Turpin siblings were rescued in January 2018 from their home in Perris, California, after then-17-year-old Jordan Turpin executed a daring escape in the middle of the night and called 911. Authorities subsequently discovered that their parents had subjected them to brutal violence and deprived them of food, sleep, hygiene, education, and health care.
In the response to the report, County Supervisor Karen Spiegel said in a statement,"This is the time to act and I will support all efforts to meet the challenge."
