NOTE: This article contains details of abuse that are disturbing. Please read at your own discretion. Six of the 13 Turpin siblings who were rescued from extreme abuse in their parents’ Perris, Calif., home in 2018 have now filed a lawsuit against the foster care agency that placed them in a home where they were allegedly subjected to further neglect.

For most of their lives, the Turpin siblings were imprisoned, tortured and starved in their family’s home until one of the girls escaped and called 911.

After they were removed from the house, the six younger children were placed with a foster family. That’s where the six siblings say they experienced even more “severe abuse and neglect,” ranging from sexual abuse to forcing the siblings to gorge on food, then eat their own vomit, according to a pair of lawsuits filed Tuesday by legal partners Elan Zektser and Roger Booth.

The six siblings filed two nearly identical lawsuits, with one representing the two older siblings, who are now adults and have since aged out of foster care, and the other representing the younger four, three of whom are still minors.

Children living near fracking sites have higher rate of cancer, Yale study finds

(Robert Nickelsberg/Getty Images)A recent study from Yale School of Public Health found evidence of a higher risk of children developing leukemia if they lived near unconventional oil and gas (UOG) developments, also known as hydraulic fracking sites.  The peer-reviewed study published on August 17 in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives found that children who were born and lived near these fracking sites were two to three times more likely to be diagnosed with cancer between the ages of 2 and 7. Researchers observed nearly 2,500 Pennsylvania children, 405 of whom were diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, the most common type of cancer in children, according to a news release about the study. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia, also known as ALL, is a type of cancer that causes mutations in the lymphoid immune cells. The long-term survival rates are high among children who are diagnosed with this type of cancer, however, this puts them at higher risk of developing other health problems and psychological issues, according to the study’s authors. Chemicals released from fracking sites into the atmosphere as well as pollution generated from vehicle emissions at these sites are just a few of the impacts observed in this study, according to the senior author, Nicole Deziel, associate professor of epidemiology at the Yale School of Public Health. "Studies of UOG exposure and cancer are extremely few in number.
