LOS ANGELES—The oldest of the 13 California siblings who authorities said were imprisoned by their parents was frail, smelly and picked on as a grade school student in Texas, one her classmates said in a heart-wrenching Facebook post. The AP is not naming the siblings because of the severity of abuse allegations, which are still under investigation. ( Molly Hennessy-Fiske/Tribune News Services )Crowley Independent School District spokesman Anthony Kirchner confirmed Muntajibuddin and the victim attended the same school. Sheriff’s deputies arrested David Turpin, 57, and Louise Turpin, 49, after their 17-year-old daughter climbed out a window and called 911. Prosecutors say 13 malnourished children found in captivity in California were chained as punishment and a 17-year-old plotted her escape for two years.
