PERRIS, Calif. – Two Southern California parents are being held on $9 million bail each after a horrific discovery at a residence in Perris over the weekend, the Riverside County Sheriff's Department said Monday.

An investigation began after a 17-year-old girl "escaped" from her home in the 100 block of Muir Woods Road and called 911 early Sunday morning to report that her 12 brothers and sister were being held captive by their parents, according to a sheriff's news release.

She alleged some of her siblings were bound in padlocked chains.

Her call prompted a response from Perris Police Department officers and Riverside County sheriff's deputies, who believed the "slightly emaciated" girl was only 10 years old until she gave them her age.


After interviewing the teen, investigators went to the residence and contacted her parents, identified as 57-year-old David Allen Turpin and 49-year-old Louise Anna Turpin, according to the release.

When investigators checked out the home, they discovered "several children shackled to their beds with chains and padlocks in dark and foul-smelling surroundings," sheriff's officials said. They added that the parents could not provide a "logical" explanation for why the kids were restrained.

Authorities located what they thought were 12 children, but were stunned to find out that seven of them were adults between the ages of 18 and 29, the release stated. The victims looked to be malnourished and filthy, authorities said.

The 13 victims, whose ages ranged from 2 to 29, were taken to the Perris Station for interviews; the juvenile and adult children were also provided food and drink after telling investigators they were "starving," according to the release.

The six children and seven adults were then transported to different hospitals for treatment. Their conditions were not immediately known.

Both parents were detained while child and adult protectives services responded to assist in the investigation. After being interviewed, they were each booked at the Robert Presley Detention Center on suspicion of torture and child endangerment, the release said.

(CNN)A couple was arrested after police discovered that 13 people had been held captive in their California home in filthy conditions, some shackled to beds with chains and padlocks, officials said Monday.

The victims ranged in age from 2 to 29, the Riverside County Sheriff's Department said in a statement.

A 17-year-old girl managed to escape from the residence in Perris, California on Sunday and called 911 from a cell phone she found in the house, police said.

The girl claimed her 12 brothers and sisters were being held captive inside the home by her parents, some of them bound with chains and padlocks, the Riverside County Sheriff's Department said.

The 17-year-old "appeared to be only 10 years old and slightly emaciated," the Riverside Sheriff's Department said.

Sheriff's deputies responded to the home and found the 12 other victims, who "appeared malnourished and very dirty," authorities said. All of them looked like children, police said, and officers were surprised to learn that seven of them were adults. Several were shackled to their beds "in dark and foul-smelling surroundings," the Sheriff's Department said.

David Allen Turpin, 57, and Louise Anna Turpin, 49, were charged Sunday with torture and child endangerment, the Sheriff's Department said. The couple was taken to the Robert Presley Detention Center in Riverside.
Bail was set at $9 million for each, the Riverside County Sheriff's Department said.

It was not immediately clear if the suspects had an attorney or whether they had entered a plea.

The six children -- including the 17-year-old who escaped -- are being treated at Riverside University Health System Medical Center in Moreno Valley. The seven adults are being treated at Corona Regional Medical Center in Corona, authorities said.

State records: home listed as a school
David Turpin is listed as the principal of the Sandcastle Day School, according to a California Department of Education website. It was operated out of his home, the same nondescript, suburban residence where the 13 victims were found. The day school opened March 21, 2011, and was described as a private school serving grades 1-12. According to the website, the status of the school is "active."

Neighbors said they knew a large family lived there, CNN affiliate KABC reported, but they never saw any of the younger children.

One neighbor told the station that she saw the parents being arrested early Sunday. The children were taken from the home in their pajamas, she said.
"They were very, very pale-skinned, almost like they've never seen the sun," the neighbor said.

"And it was mostly girls ... kind of small-framed," the neighbor said.
Kimberly Milligan, a neighbor, told CNN affiliate KCAL/KCBS she thought the older children were much younger.

Someone needs to have a word with the dude about the hair as well
 
Those people look like legitimately sane people
 
It was discovered these two were trump supporters who felt empowered by trumps unchecked power. Fucking disgusting.
 
Paddy Pimblett did not age well.
 
it takes a lot of work and neglect to make a 29 year old resemble a child. Horrible people.

but that dude's haircut might be worse, cmon brah!
 
Jokes aside what a horrible story
 
She obviously cuts his hair, which is the fifteenth sign she is batshit crazy.
 
They thought they had solved the case, but they didn't count on the demon being an actual demon. It was always somebody else.
First it killed Fred and Velma, then Scrappy, before disappearing in a cloud of sulfur. Scooby succumbed to his wounds before the sheriff and paramedics could arrive. After that Shaggy and Daphne were put in a mental hospital for 19 years before escaping; never to be seen again.... until now.
 
These guys got caught. Just imagine how many people are in this exact situation right now.

Yeah, it reminds me of the Josef Fritzl case in Austria. His daughter was locked in a dungeon he made below his house for 25 or so years, repeatedly tortured and raped, to have like 6 of his children. 3 of which he kept in the dungeon, and 3 he raised upstairs in his house.

And the Ariel Castro kidnappings, where Amanda Berry and two other females were kidnapped for years.

It's sickening what the human being is actually capable of. So much evil in this world.

And just to think, as you said, there's likely many more cases like these that have yet to be discovered.

This guy would have gotten away with it, too, if it wasn't for those blasted kids.

A couple years ago where I'm from, there was a pastor who locked up his wife and son and forced them into prostitution. The dude charged other dudes to bang his son..
