Do you understand that Teresa R. chose to be a guest & share her story in this format? She did a few others also. She was open & went into great detail in the short time they had (& was this in full or just a promo clip from a longer interview?) I'm sure there's a lot behind the scenes, such as pre & post filming interactions, so it wasn't like they had just met that second. That's how they develop a rapport which helps the guest feel comfortable & open with the interviewer. It wasn't Megyn's goal or job to do a therapy session but she showed compassion appropriate for the situation (& that's just what we see on camera). The point is that the family was getting the story out as much as possible - likely in hopes that the public will be more aware of & diligent in reporting suspicious behavior.

Sexual abuse is the worst thing that a person can endure. It is soul damaging. Psychologically altering. We as a society need to do more to eradicate it and help people heal from it. No one should be violated in such a way.

A lot of people will bottle memories of abuse like that up, and then take it out on those weaker than themselves (their children) because their abusers are either dead or are seen by them as too strong to be gotten back at. They don't know how to take those feelings out, so they mimic their pain on those they see as lesser than them. Not an excuse, this is just a common train of thought in the minds of people who abuse their kids and have some kind of trauma in their lives.

"like she's a victim"?? Well it seems like she was a long-time victim of child abuse and seems to be in a great deal of pain talking about it. You are being so judgmental here, especially given that you do not know if she got paid, how much, what her own financial situation is, what she actually did do with any possible money she received, and you don't know if she is ABLE to take in any of the children. She has 5 kids of her own and maybe she works. Maybe her home was seen as too cramped already and doesn't physically have the space. Maybe she was not deemed as a suitable "foster parent" due to her own history of abuse. And maybe mentally she is still trying to work through her own things and going to therapy. Bottom line is you don't know jack, so there's no need to point blame on her. She didn't abuse those kids, their parents did.....then the state screwed them all over!! There was money that was donated for them but the older ones were denied access to it in order to get what they needed. Did this aunt know that? Who knows! I certainly don't, and neither do you!

This is all part and parcel of acting inappropriate because of abuse. She may be divulging sensitive information but don't forget she is a victim too and needs councelling.

As a parent myself I can't imagine the horrors they went through. I'm glad they were saved

the interviewer lacks of empathy, she tries so hard but fails.

I remember her saying in another interview it’s their grandfather who abused them which their mom used to take them to him for the money. I find this very disturbing and can’t comprehend how a abused woman would do this to their kids. Yet those people all are church going people. How it’s possible? Is it in their religion?

Many fake believers going to church for the show. In another video it was said how they used bible verses out of context to justify their abusive actions to these kids. Stating they were just disciplining them. A lot of manipulation and putting on a show by taking the kids out on rare occasions for "family pictures". If anything they were a cult pretending to run a day care to "homeschool" their kids 🤢

While I understand why you think that, because we naturally want the person who abused them to be brought to justice. This story hasn’t been out that long, and this encloses a lot more than one or two people. Not outing the abuser isn’t about protecting him(or her), but the victims as well. Not everyone might be mentally or emotionally ready for this to put in the media. The family of victims are respecting each other’s privacy, probably until they are all ready to speak the name out loud. And if they never do, it’s a shame that the abuser isn’t spotlighted, but, at the same time, the victims of the abuse deserve to handle it in a way they can live and move forward from being a victim.

Very brave woman makes herself so vulnerable , it will help everyone...on the long run especially.

The cycle repeated with me through another family member when I was 5 years old. Trauma must be healed, but trauma can repeat and become a pathology in a family if is not treated. In our family is also a dirty, nasty and repugnant secret. This woman is so brave by speaking the horror she and her siblings went through! I pray she is on a long healing ❤️‍🩹 journey of this atrocity!

She is being brave and open... this is a horrific case of abuse and is the fault of the parents. Nobody should be bashing her.

Whoa, I just realized something... Theresa mentioned something in this video that immediately caught my attention and stood out to me more than almost anything else I've heard about this case. It didn't directly involve the children or any details of the sickening abuse they endured for several decades. But imo it's still very significant and telling because it sheds SO much light on the level of control David & Louise thought/knew they had over their children... It's the story about David & Louise's trips to Alabama to fulfill a sexual fantasy. And I got curious, so I searched a tentative route from the Turpin home (they lived in Texas when this happened) to their approximate destination in Alabama and found out they had to travel nearly 700 MILES - a 10+ hour drive one way - for these trips. Just let that sink in!!! If we assume the children didn't go on these trips, that would imply that this couple left all of their abused, starved, & tortured kids home alone for multiple days while they went out of state for these sexual encounters... This obviously gave those kids more than enough time and distance to safely escape and seek help, but they never did because of the sheer level of fear instilled in them by their own parents. Granted, if this happened between 2008-2010 we could maybe make the case that many of the kids (especially Jordan) were too young and/or too isolated to fully understand their circumstances at that point. But I still think it mostly goes back to the unbelievable amount of control (and sheer ARROGANCE) David & Louise would've needed to possess to not only leave all of their abused kids home alone while they travel out of state, but to also KNOW with such certainty that nobody would run away, escape, or alert anyone in the outside world. Especially because I personally believe that at least a few of the older kids did know (for almost their entire lives) how abnormal and wrong their lives were, and wanted so badly to get all of them out of that home.... Yet their desires for normalcy and freedom always paled in comparison to the terror they felt at the mere thought of running away. That's terrifying.

Actually, being around the neighborhood that this happened in. Neighbors had no idea that more than 1 child lived in that house. Only 1 of the 13 children was able to be seen outside. So to say that neighbors were responsible is unreasonable. Is it arguable to ask, "if this happened in your neighborhood, would you say your partially responsible for what was done to these innocent children behind closed doors?" the only ones responsible for the tortuous asks done unto those children are the mother and father in this case.

This is why people who put “family above all” creep me out. You know they would protect abusive psychopaths just because they’re “family” and cause horrors for others and perpetuate the cycle. Even some of these poor children still talk about “loving their parents”. That’s going to cause some serious damage. Family is not sacred.

Way to cut her off as she publicly admits to being sexually abused. SMH Teresa, I noticed that! I’m sorry she did that to you. What you were able to say before you were interrupted was powerful and will help other survivors come forward. You’re so brave!

This whole family needs help.

I am giving the family the benefit of the doubt and say that I can TRY to understand why the family didn't know that things were that dire. It's 13 kids all of them couldn't be in the room at the same time. As an aunt, I would still be asking lots of questions but you can't force a family member to do anything. And if they were already estranged then what can you do but call CPS if you suspected abuse. Which heading their upbringing I would have suspected abuse and called CPS to be on the safe side. Idk it's seems like the family failed those kids.

What parents would chain up 29 year old women like they never have the intentions of ever letting them out of the house. There was a reason for them doing this. I suspect grooming for some event to take place.

The entire extended family are also traumatized from this as well, you need to remember that. They weren't complicit but were frauded by the psychopaths David and Louise. Also educate yourself about the nuances of intergenerational trauma. There is far more happening here than meets the eye.
