Couple charged with abuse and starving their children.

What's going on with people now, especially these parents?

I seen this on the news, that is just ... there is no words for this. 13 children from 29 to 2.

I was flabbergasted when I saw this on the news.

'They' need to be chained and see how they like it @amadeo .

I saw it on the news. crazy how those couple picture their family sa perfect in pictures but not :(

People like this should be thrown in prison, and the keys tossed away!

That is just horrible. I will skip reading it though as reading things like that makes me cry.

Monsters. How can anyone do such thing to children

I heard about it and wrote about it on here. Parents that evil should not be able to reproduce. They don't deserve to be parents. I hope they get the full extent of punishment in the prison system.

Stories of abuse and neglect of children break my heart. My husband and I lost our second child and were on the adoption list for years, and almost went the private route. Then there are people like this, lives should never be taken for granted or abused.

I have read the news this morning, some people are crazy. I hope they will be severely punished for this.

Sickos! I read this on the news. They should be chained up - forever!

It is very sad. But this us why we shouldn't ever turn a blind eye. If our gut tells us there's something wrong, there probably is. At least now the 'children' can be helped and supported and some people will learn from their mistakes.

I heard it on the news - about a couple in California who chained their 13 children to beds.

Heard it first on the radio this morning and then on TV and the Internet. Absolutely insane.

The story gets worse. The police are going to use cadaver dogs to search the property for at least one additional child. They are going to use DNA to see if all the children and parents are related to each other. Who knows? There are a lot of missing kids. Could some of these kids be missing from an early age? BTW, your link does not exist anymore.

I also heard this in radio. My gosh how can a couple can do this horrible thing to kids.

I have heard that news in our tv here. Horrible things they did to their children. Poor kids. I hope the parents will be punished well.

I read that earlier this morning. It was horrifying. I hope the children get the care that they need in a good home and that the adult children get the services they need in order to be able to transition into functional adults. What a terrible way they had to live, and none of the neighbors noticed!

It’s just terrible. It said they couldn’t afford to feed them, ok... so why chain them up though? Why lock them away? Why mistreat them? Why not just do right by the children and phone social services to say they couldn’t care for them anymore? Instead of keeping them and treating them so inhumanely. Honestly just when you think you’ve seen and heard it all.... grrr makes me mad.
