The seven adult children are being moved to a special care centre, because they have developmental issues and the younger children, will be split into two groups and placed in foster homes.
I feel very sad for those kids. As much as their existence was abusive and dysfunctional, to them it will have been normal and to be split up will be even more trauma added to their hurt. I do understand how logistically difficult it would be to find ONE foster home for them all. I hope they will be able to stay in contact with one another.
Apparently twenty families were prepared to foster all the children together, but the authorities said no.
I think it would help with their recovery to be kept together.
An injection has banned the Turpin's from coming within 500 years of their children.
They said it was in case they asked any of the children to go and visit them in prison.
Why on earth wouldn't the authorities let the kids stay together, especially as there were families willing to take them?
I hate to say but the welfare of kids taken in to care in the US is not so good. There is a lot about it on US sites I've been on whilst following the corruption unfold in US. Been well over a year now and people comment on kids going missing, trafficking, corruption and warnings about something called operation underground railroad. Purported to be an NGO to help trafficked and runaway children it does have some dubious characters and a patchy record. Bit like the secret child courts here, decisions made behind closed doors and nobody knows what goes on.
As for the parents, I think the mother is mentally disturbed. More so than the father but they both must be a bit mentally unstable to have done what they did.
There’s a possibility that the families who were willing to foster weren’t suitable, ie. home not big enough, safety issues, etc. Another aspect is trying to offer these kids a somewhat normal life, and you’d have to admit that bringing so many kids in all at once would attract attention, it would be fairly obvious who they were, whereas three kids would make it easier to go relatively unnoticed by media. There will be a natural curiosity to see the kids now that the story has received such widespread coverage, so probably best to shield them from that if they can. Hopefully they will still see each other as they grow up.
