Hey everybody this is Stephen Maloney from freedom. So I'm not often drawn into true

crime stories but this is one that has haunted me just as I'm sure it has haunted

millions of people around the world, the story of the

Turpin family where the mother and the father abused, starved and chained, there are 13 children to their beds, and there is so much to talk about

with regards to philosophy, with regards to all of this and the information that is out there is kind of

scattered and I've really worked hard to pull it all together and to give you

the philosophical realities behind this situation.

So I'm going to start not with the crimes themselves, or at least not the Louise Turpin's crimes and her husband's crimes.

We're going to get to that later.

What I want to do is there's a window into the world of the Turpins

that has been written by Elizabeth Flores who is the younger sister to

Louise turpinn and I'm going to go through her life because of course I've talked at length at

great length about how we really need to fix childhood before we can fix

anything else. We need to fix parenting, we need to fix

childhood, and then, and only then can we really work to fix the world. So this

woman Louise Turpin and her husband, of course, did David, did absolutely terrible things to their children, kept them chained and tortured and brutalized for decades really. Their oldest

quote child was in her late to his or her late 20s

when they were finally rescued which will get to that.

It was also quite a powerful and amazing story. But I want to start with the history of

Louise Turpin as told by her sister Elizabeth. Now, of course the usual caveats apply.

I don't know how much of this stuff that's being talked

about has been adjudicated in the Court of Law. Some of these are allegations. Some of these may or may not
