Episode 11 – House of Silence: The Turpin Family

For years, a quiet house in Perris, California, hid a reality no one was allowed to see. What appeared to be a private, religious household was in fact a closed system of control, isolation, and abuse that spanned decades.

This episode traces how thirteen children were hidden from schools, doctors, and community oversight, and how that isolation allowed extreme harm to continue unchecked. It examines the systems that failed, the evidence that finally exposed the truth, and the long road survivors faced after rescue.

This is a story about silence, accountability, and what happens when abuse is mistaken for discipline and privacy becomes a shield.

Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussion of prolonged child abuse, neglect, starvation, and imprisonment.

New episodes of Angelica’s Morbid Minutes are released on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.
