[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OMG that is one of the most awful stories I can imagine. What breaks my heart is that lots of people knew something was wrong with this family - one of the moms pled guilty 7 years ago and the neighbors called CPS after the kids said they weren't being fed. This really seems like a tragedy that could have been avoided.[/quote] CPS stopped by three times in the days leading up to their deaths and were unable to make contact with them. People cared and tried to help.[/quote]

The kids asking neighbors for food doesn’t necessarily point to starvation. My nephew does this because he often dislikes the healthy meals my sister and BIL make for dinner. He is also HFA. So I take those reports with a grain of salt. The kids didn’t look malnourished.

(and yes, my sister had CPS called on her numerous times because of his autistic behavior.)[/quote]

The kids in question were sneaking off to their neighbor's house and telling them that they were hungry and not being fed, not that they didn't like what was being served in their house. Not normal! The neighbors were so alarmed that they called CPS to investigate.

The kids do look small/stunted for their ages so it is likely that they really were not being fed at home.

Neighbors of the Turpins sometimes saw one of the boys searching through a trashcan for food scraps.  Not normal![/quote]
