16 Siders Kids: What The Turpin Case Warns Happens Next

Everyone remembers the Turpin rescue. Thirteen children freed from a California house of horrors, a seventeen-year-old hero who escaped through a window, a wave of national sympathy and donated money. Almost nobody remembers what came after: several of those children homeless, others placed in foster homes where they were harmed again, the donated funds tangled in bureaucracy while the kids who needed them struggled. The rescue was the headline. The aftermath was the story.Now sixteen Siders children are starting down the same road, and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins to map what's actually ahead of them. Brains that developed inside one room. Language that never fully formed. An eighteen-year-old who can't write her name entering a world that runs on paperwork. Scott explains why these children's recovery depends less on therapy hours and more on decisions being made right now — placements, sibling separation, and whether the system that failed to find them can manage not to fail them twice.She also renders an honest verdict on the "almost feral" label, what it clinically describes, and whether sixteen kids can outrun a word that introduced them to the world.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
