House of Horrors children are not allowed to live together

House of Horrors, children, are, not, allowed, to ,live ,together

The 13 siblings rescued from the California house of horrors will not live together again, despite pleading with the authorities to stay as a family.

The six Turpin children among the 13 found shackled at their home in Perris have been told that they will be split up into two foster homes.

Meanwhile the seven adults, who have developmental issues, will be sent to an assisted living facility, CBS News reported.

David Turpin, 57, and his wife Louise, 49, are accused of starving, torturing and chaining their children and face lengthy jail time if found guilty. 

A source close to the investigation told CBS that the seven adults will be cared for at a special care center.

The younger children, aged between two and 17 years old, asked to be home together but are set to be split into two groups. 

The revelation comes after it emerged that the Turpins were were planning a move to Oklahoma within days of their 17-year-old daughter escaping to call police.

The family patriarch, David Turpin, 57, had been approved for a job transfer to Oklahoma with the defense contractor Northrop Grumann. 

The family was planning to up and move 'within days' of January 14, the day their 17-year-old daughter climbed out the family's Perris home's window and used a deactivated cell phone to dial 911, according to sources who spoke with ABC News. 

'There were boxes in the house consistent with moving – concentrated in hallways, entryway and bedrooms,' one of the sources said.  

The parents are accused of starving, torturing and chaining their 13 children to their beds for years. 

The police responded quickly, and ended up arresting the parents and taking the 13 children into state custody. It was unclear if the impending move had anything to do with the 17-year-old's escape and subsequent call to authorities. 

The family had moved several times over the years. They moved twice in Texas, and once in California. 

Meanwhile new CCTV footage was released Tuesday showing the children being rescued from the home by police. 

In the dramatic surveillance footage, the children are seen being being escorted from the house by officers after the arrest of their parents David and wife Louise Turpin, 49.

The video shows police at the scene after the 17-year-old escaped through a window, enacting a plan she had in the works for two years.  

Officers escort the youngsters from the home, one of whom is carrying her sibling and another runs to catch up. 

Police look on as the children aged from two to 29 flee, and an officer standing on the driveway is seen ushering them to safety in the video.

Details of their harrowing plight have started to emerge since the California couple pleaded not guilty on Thursday to nearly 40 counts including torture, false imprisonment, abuse on a dependent, and child abuse. David faces an additional charge of a lewd act on a child under 14. 

They denied the charges despite evidence showing how they kept their 13 children in locked in their rooms, chained to beds and allowing them to shower no more than once a year.    

The Turpins also starved their children, their 29-year-old daughter weighed just 82lbs, and taunted them with slices of pie.  

Among the most shocking claims of abuse are: 

The children were made to stay awake all night and sleep all day, often going to bed at between 4am and 5am 

Their only permitted activity was to keep journals - hundreds of which were recovered and will likely be used as evidence 

David Turpin is accused of a lewd act against one child - one of his daughters, under the age of 14 

The children had been planning to escape for two years before they were rescued

The 17-year-old daughter who raised the alarm left the house with another sibling but that child became frightened and turned back 

The parents began using chains and padlocks to tie the children to their beds after one escaped with rope. They would sometimes be chained up for months 

One of the older boys was allowed out of the home to attend college classes but  his mother accompanied him there, waited for him until it finished then accompanied him home

The couple's youngest child, a two-year-old, was the only one they did not starve 

The 29-year-old woman who was rescued weighed just 82 lbs 

The children were tied up or beaten if they washed their hands 'above the wrist' because the parents said it amounted to them 'playing in the water' 

The Turpins kept toys that were still in their boxes at the house but never gave any to the children

Cadaver dogs are being sent into the home to look for the bodies of any children who did not survive the ordeal and DNA tests are being conducted to determine if any of the children have died and are buried in David and Louise's house of horrors, according to a new report.   

The children will likely need years of therapy, psychological experts said.
