Turpin Teen Posts Footage From Alleged Torture House: Report
The girl — the same one who broke free to call 911 in January — posted the videos to YouTube under an alias, according to a new report.

PERRIS, CA — Since news of the alleged torture and abuse of several children that took place inside a Perris home broke in January, the nation has been transfixed on the case. The Turpins are now household names.
Still, little is actually known about the alleged victims and their personal lives, but new video footage released Tuesday shows a glimpse from inside the home on Muir Woods Road, according to ABC7.
David Allen Turpin, 56, and his wife, Louise Ann Turpin, 49, were arrested after their 17-year-old daughter broke free from her captors and phoned 911 from a deactivated cellphone on Jan. 15, according to the Riverside County District Attorney's Office.

ABC7 News uncovered footage apparently posted to YouTube by that 17-year-old. There are several posts by the girl, all done under an alias. The most recent was made just a week before authorities said she escaped.
The videos were songs, believed to be written about the girl's life.

"You blame me for everything, you blame me in every way, you blame me for what they say, what they say," a song said, according to the news station.
The Turpin parents are now facing more than three dozen felony charges in connection to alleged inhumane treatment of 12 of their 13 sons and daughters, seven of whom are adults with diminished mental capacity.
The District Attorney's Office said some of terrible things the Turpin parents subjected their kids to included "the children only being allowed to shower once a year, being restrained by ropes and later chains as a form of punishment, and the parents buying toys, videos, and even food items but not allow the children access to any of them."
