Two years after their rescue from the House of Horrors, the 13 Turpin children are thriving - but one meal still triggers their worst memories.
Mr Beecham, who worked closely with the siblings during their parents’ trial, said the six youngest siblings had been adopted and were adjusting well to their new families.
“They are receiving really good help,” Mr Beecham to the magazine. “With therapy, counselling and a lot of psychological assistance, they’re exponentially in a better place than they were before.” On the rare occasions their parents went out for dinner, leaving their children locked in the house, the stronger siblings who were not shackled to their beds would sneak to the kitchen for food scraps to share.
In a bizarre break from home imprisonment, David and Louise Turpin took their children on multiple trips to Disneyland.

She did it because, even though the children had been conditioned to the abuse, she understood their treatment was cruel and unusual to the extent that others might not believe her. An additional photograph showed another girl “chained to a bedpost, sitting on the floor with her thin wrists shackled tightly”.
