A California couple has been arrested on charges of torture after authorities on Monday said their 13 malnourished children were held captive in their home, with some shackled to beds in the dark. The 13 victims at the house in Perris, California ranged in age from two to 29, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department said in a statement. Neighbours stand and watch news crews outside the home of David Allen and Louise Anna Turpin in Perris, California. Three boys, their dark hair in bowl cuts like David Turpin, are dressed in suits with red ties. In another September 2015 photograph, Louise Turpin holds a baby wearing a t-shirt reading “Mommy loves me.”Neighbour Jamelia Adams, 39, expressed shock.
