For more than two months, the staff at the Corona Regional Medical Center came to know and love the seven adult children of alleged child abusers David and Louise Turpin as they nursed the malnourished siblings back to health and slowly introduced them to years of entertainment and technology they were intentionally deprived of. “This has been their home away from wherever they were at before, so it was a little bit tough for them and the staff.”

The seven siblings were taken Thursday to their new home in an undisclosed rural part of California. They do not want people to think of them only as a possible victim, but as young adults setting off on their lives. “We were hopeful we could do a transition with them and get them to their new place and wanted to send the nurses and therapists out to make sure ‘This is where you are going to be staying,’ ‘Here’s our phone numbers,’ ‘You can call us anytime,’ ‘We will call you once a week.’ But we have no idea where they are at. “They’re happy, they are wanting to move forward, they do not want to dwell on the past and … they want their identity to be now and going forward the things they hope to do, the dreams they have. It’s been really wonderful for them.”

The adult children also read, Osborn said, but not about themselves. Of course, they’re really full of joy about their life and the things they get to experience right now.”

Much of their first day outside of the Corona Regional Medical Center was spent outdoors, Osborn said. “For all the things that have allegedly been done to them, they still have the capacity to love and trust people who have been good to them. “Some asked whether they could be nurses without having to give injections or seeing much blood,” he said, adding his clients “want to be independent” and “want to do things for themselves and they want to start having independent lives where they’re responsible for themselves. The Turpins said they home-schooled their children, who ranged in age from 2 to 29 at the time of the parents’ arrest, but the source close to the investigation characterized their private Sandcastle Day School as “a sham, a way for them to get money from the county and the state.”

Previously, Riverside County District Attorney Mike Hestrin has said the home school was used to conceal a life of horror and abuse, where the children were beaten and starved, chained to their beds for weeks at a time and allowed to shower only once a year. ABC News has discovered that she had accounts on Twitter, Instagram and YouTube -- where she performed what she called original songs with titles like “Where is the Key?”

David and Louise Turpin each face dozens of counts of torture, false imprisonment and child endangerment. David Allen Turpin, 56, and Louise Ann Turpin, 49, have pleaded not guilty to all charges and remain jailed in lieu of $12 million bail each.
The seven adults of the "Turpin children" are reported to have been released from the Corona Regional Medical Center in California and placed into an undisclosed residential home to lead normal lives.
