The Anatomy Of Satanic Parents Like David And Louise Turpin
The story of the 13 kids of David and Louise Turpin has shocked the world. They not only starved their kids but also physically tortured them. The kids were not allowed to shower for more than once a year. If they were found to wash their hands above their wrist, they were reprimanded for playing with water! They were homeschooled and kept alienated from the outside world. They were often chained to their beds for months as a punishment!

To be honest, I wasn't shocked to read all this. I just thought wow, there are more people like this in the world! We need to stop thinking that all parents are like angels. Some are like snakes and devour their own kids. So, how come there are some parents who would die a thousand times for their kids and some who derive pleasure by torturing their kids? I have a few theories:
They See Their Kids As A Duty
While most people see their kids a part of themselves, just like a branch of a tree, there are some who view their own kids as just another human being. They think of their kids as a burden and a duty. They do not feel emotionally connected to their kids. So, they give them the minimum amount of attention and care required. The Turpins did not kill their kids but they fed them just once a day to keep them alive! David and Lousie bought food for themselves and are perfectly healthy, while the kids are severely malnutritioned. Even the dog is healthy. This clearly shows that David and Lousie could have easily fed their kids but they chose not to!They See Their Kids As A Competition
Have you seen how some people do not like to be referred as 'aunt', 'uncle', or 'grandad', even if that's your relationship with them? They live in denial and cannot accept the fact that they are getting older. When their kids enter their teenage, the jealousy of such parents increase. Because, when kids enter their teenage and youth, parents usually start getting old. So, this is deeply painful for envious parents. Not only do their wrinkles are starting to show up, but their kids are blossoming into beautiful youths. So, they crush their kids mentally and physically. In the case of the Turpins, it has been reported that the oldest child who is 29 is dangerously thin. The malnutrition has affected the growth of these kids. At an age when this 29 years old girl should be starting her own life, she was attending the wedding ceremony of her parents. Yes, the Turpins has taken their vows 3 times. The third time was somewhere in 2016.So, while they are having the time of their life, their kids are not even allowed to make friends, let alone get married and settle down.They Love To Torture
If the Turpins really hated kids so much, why do they have 13 kids? The only logical reason I could think of is that they derive pleasure by torturing others. They like to be in charge. They couldn't have tortured an outsider, so they gave birth to these innocent kids so that they could torture them for the rest of their lives.
I really hope that America gives the worst possible punishment to David and his wife. I also hope that the kids recover and start afresh. Most of all, I am happy that they managed to escape as there are many kids in similar situations who would never be able to escape!
