On January 14, 2018, a teenage girl climbed through a window and escaped her family home.
She then called the authorities.
“I live in a family of 15 people and my parents are abusive,” the girl told the dispatcher. “They abuse us and my two little sisters are chained up.”
When police arrived at the scene they discovered filthy and malnourished children, chained to the Perris, California home.
The stench was almost overwhelming.

David and Louise Turpin were immediately taken into custody. They were later charged with 88 offences including torture, child abuse and false imprisonment. David is also charged with ‘lewd acts on a child’.
In the weeks that followed, people from all around the world became engrossed in the story of the Turpins and their sadistic, hidden lives.

Yet psychologists will tell you that this doesn't happen, victims becoming perpetrators, or only rarely. This is why it never gets picked up. Not all victims play out the exact same scenario, but all are damaged in predictable ways. The majority of people in jail are victims of childhood abuse. Psychology has abandoned them. They think all they need are "life skills" and anger management. But you can't be a good parent if you never had one. You just pass it on. The world is going mad, not despite the best efforts of psychologists, but because of them.
