Kirsten 's Reviews > The Family Next Door: The Heartbreaking Imprisonment of the Thirteen Turpin Siblings and Their Extraordinary Rescue

I remember hearing about this case when it happened. Why have that many children and then chain them up? That was bad enough. But what really happened to these children is horrifying! What makes it even worse is that the people around them - relatives and neighbors - never asked for a checkup on them.

They bought these kids toys they never played with, bikes they never rode, cakes and pies that rotted on the counters. I can only pray that God will have an adequate punishment for parents like this.
