David and Louise Turpin, the California parents who beat, starved and held 12 of their children captive inside their home, were sentenced Friday to life in prison.

The husband and wife pleaded guilty in February to 14 counts each of torture, dependent adult abuse, child endangerment and false imprisonment.

During their sentencing, both cried and wiped away tears as some of their children addressed the courtroom. The judge ruled the couple will be eligible for parole after 25 years.

"My parents took my whole life from me, now I’m taking my life back," one of the couple's daughters said. “Life may have been bad, but it made me strong. I saw my dad change my mom, they almost changed me. I’m a fighter, I’m strong.”

5. What really hasn't been answered...

Is a simple question from me: Why?

Why did these two "adults" go on this power trip, dominating their many kids this way?

Is it a religious dictatorship, like the "19 Kids And Counting" losers?

6. While renewing wedding vows

I swear there are more mad people outside than inside.

Who starves their own children and deprives them of water to bathe?

7. Usually, religious fanatics.

I'm seeing though many other groups of zealots, most recently the anti-vaxx groups.

Logic? Intelligence? "Dem iz fer da other guy."

Lies, "trVe" faith, (look up Rick Wiles, Walid and Theodore Shoebat for examples of those,) and wild, unevidenced conspiracy theories like "QAnon."
