44 Seemingly Normal Photos That Hide Shocking Secrets Behind the Scenes
Steven’s story is so inspiring to me in a lot of ways, the guts and guile he demonstrated is nothing short of amazing. But I have to warn you all, the story does not have a very happy ending. So if these kinds of cases are emotionally taxing for you, especially the ones that involve ab*sed children, skip this one.
Basically all of the Turpin family photos of all 13 kids on trips to Vegas and Disney. At first they seem like a normal family, then you realize that the kids are gaunt and pale. Add that to the matching outfits and I’m all spooked out.
In one picture of the family, the children are seemingly clinging to each other with forced smiles. All the while Louise and David Turpin are beaming with pride of their family.
It’s sort of terrifying.

The ab*se seemingly developed over time – like there was a woman who reported being able to play with the older Turpin kids-now-adults when they were young. The kids were apparently more ‘normal’ kids then who were allowed outside and to have friends visit or go to friends houses, etc. They were described as friendly but also being weird. Weird as in they would smell bad, be unclean and have those fishy seeming parents.
Then by the sounds of it, as more and more kids came along the abuse only developed more. They weren’t allowed out anymore (their neighbour thought they only had 1 or 2 kids) and the weirdness increased. And the weight/type of malnourishment of the older Turpin kidults suggests they were deprived of food for a very long time to. Malnourishment like they have must have started from way before pre-teen years. The parents can’t have just snapped and started ab*sing them one day – the state of those adult Turpins shows that the parents had always been ab*sive, just on different levels over time.
