Jordan Turpin Opens Up About Alleged Foster Care Abuse

House of Horrors survivor Jordan Turpin is revealing new details surrounding the horrific abuse she says she and her siblings suffered in foster care. The information comes from her new People Magazine Cover Shoot interview. The Turpin siblings are now suing the foster care provider and Riverside County, California, claiming they had to know the foster parents were unfit. Her foster parents pleaded not guilty to abuse charges.

I have to disagree with that. You have to understand that her brain is still in "survival mode" and all that "calmness" you see is probably due to the fact that she went from "hell" to experiencing overwhelming acceptance and attention for the first time. But remember! She is deeply traumatised, and she probably mistakes the "media attention" for kindness, when in reality they see her as a money making machine! I'm afraid that all that media attention is gonna damage her even more eventually. Maybe not now, but don't be surprised if you hear some "tragic news" in a few years.

@@kpstl26 I wouldn't doubt it honestly. The County knew what was going on, the Police refused to believe the girl, Child Services refused to do anything for years while knowing about this (again this is a VERY common problem in our world, CPS does NOT actually protect children most of the time and end up putting them into abusive homes because they get a kickback from the parents for putting the kids with them). When I heard about this, I was not surprised at all honestly. I have an Uncle who's worked in a boys home for several years now, I even went to school with some of them and they were drug dealers, tweakers, wannabe gang bangers or kids who genuinely just had issues trusting others (like one who torched his whole ass house hoping to kill his abusive parents). Whenever a kid goes off to a home, they usually end up back at the boys home until they turn 18 because the family will abuse them or try to force them to work for them so they can keep the money from adopting children while doing nothing in return.

Praying that she has a good team/manager. The industry that she's in can be soooo toxic. I, hopefully like everyone else, want the Turpim children to be healthy, happy and successful.

[@deirdremorris9234]

As a parent, I hope the same for this young lady.

[@bcpr9812]

I wish Bieber or some other big celeb with money would cover the cost of hiring a representative to look out for her and her siblings' best interests.

[@lucystoner]

There's something tough about this girl. She was the one who snuck and posted KZbin videos (where the comments told her that she was being abused - she didn't know before that). She was the one who snuck out to find a cop & showed him pictures. She's got fight. I hope the industry doesn't eat her alive. But I don't think she'll go down easily.

[@findingfalkor2434]

absofuckinglutely stoked for this young woman. she’s a badass in every way 🤘🏻❤️💯

[@valvess]

ok

[@kallen868]

I get it... Saving yourself and siblings is totally badass! She's also lovely and could be a model herself.

[@jisuskitty]

she is not much older than me and i am just so proud of her. i used to live near the house

[@mongdc]

Did y’all see her cover for Elle magazine? That girl is a natural!!! I hope she receives the love, help and protection

[@ddivincenzo1194]

She is an amazing young lady. She stood up under pressure and fought not once, but twice.

[@HimanshuJagtap]

I haven’t seen a better example of “moving on in life” than this. 👏🏻

[@ajbyname]

It's disgusting what these kids went through after being 'rescued'! I hope all those involved pay in every possible way for the abuse that was inflicted upon them.

[@maldust7438]

That's just disgusting and despicable that these kids who already suffered YEARS of abuse were then just stupidly put into any foster home!! Horrible!

[@astralfluxaf]

Jordan is my hero. She’s such a courageous amazing woman! I hope all of the kids never have to live anything less than an amazing life. 🖤

[@johns6454]

Shouldn’t she also sue the state of California for not giving any of the Turpin children the funds that were raised through charity they kept all of it remember and wouldn’t even let the boy buy a bicycle to get to work

[@amberc.2137]

I don't recall hearing an about donated money & the boy wanting a bike. I do know that once your parents lose their parental rights, the city or state will become their "ward". Meaning they can take any money into their 18yrs old. Technically, the state becomes their "parent", their legal guardian. They can take the money & make all decisions for them.

[@johns6454]

@@amberc.2137 it was in the news last year or earlier this year. There was a woman who was responsible for their case who was withholding funds the children were left living in poverty the boy was in the news it’s still archived to today you just have to look for it he was trying to buy a bicycle to get to work because he was beaten up and robbed because they place them in a ghetto area. The woman ended up channeling the donated funds in California And the children have not received a dime of it according to the last news report earlier this year last year

[@johns6454]

I just sent you the link to one of the news articles that covered it but there’s another news story where they interviewed one of the boys who is unable to even get a bicycle to get to work and get help after being brutally beaten up on the streets near his unsafe housing area

[@amberc.2137]

@@johns6454 I'll look in to that. Thank you so much!

[@ginaconsiglio3017]

That bond with her siblings is unbreakable. God bless her and the rest of her siblings❤️🙏🏻

hi

[@MarioLoco03]

Poor girl. I hope she leads a good life.

[@laurac86]

I cannot believe that they had to suffer in foster care after the abuse that they endured their entire lives. It’s sickening that the system failed them again

[@Blacksunnn]

I won’t say I’ve been abused but mentally am really exhausted in this household and would like to get out after my education nice to see someone stand up for themselves.

[@stephanieannmarie4694]

I didn’t know Jordan was in foster care I thought she was old enough to be on her own I watch her on tik tok all the time she’s such a beautiful young woman and I’m proud of how far she’s come ♥️

[@kpstl26]

She was for a short time but is an adult now, but the county kept millions in donations that were supposed to go to the children and refused to give it to them. So the ones that were adults or aged out of foster care were all homeless at some point because the county wouldn't give them any of the money sent in for them.

[@brett255]

@@kpstl26 that's really disgusting and pathetic. Wtf is wrong with all the adults who were supposed to protect these yound people? Only greed and selfishness. What an embarrasment.

[@ashleystar4773]

She was for a short time because she was 17 & a minor at the time she & her siblings were rescued. She's a adult in her 20s now. I watch her on TikTok too almost on a daily basis. I also have duetted some of her videos which helped me learn some of the TikTok dance trends because I am a bad dancer.

[@catenjoyer76]

Can't they be given the money from their parents or something

[@teresabyrne855]

God bless her and may she always keep that innocence about her because it's very refreashing

[@mrsnathan4132]

Please Gd bless this young girl, help her find strength and healing and true happiness ❤️ 🙏

[@desireechurchill747]

I need to add to my love and admiration for this woman. This woman is going to great things and how brave she is so profoundly impacted by her positive energy. Imagine after going through all they did and she is on People suing the foster parents and agency !! This family deserves better!!

[@nicoley8844]

Ugh words cannot even explain how happy I am for Jordan. I feel like I immediately cry whenever I hear her, even briefly, talk about what she and her siblings have been through.

[@BB-bp4ib]

This is the type of woman I would appreciate and feel joy to see winning an award for Woman of the year. I'll keep this comment short as to not overshadow this statement or this young lady with what I was tempted to finish this comment with- which had nothing to do with this lovely young woman and that's what this should be about. Her strength, courage and kindness. Wishing her and all her siblings unconditional love and Blessings for the rest of their journey💓

[@MEGIDIOT]

I wish those children only the bestttt

[@bonelessmice6828]

i really admire her she saved herself and her siblings she seems so happy now and tbh she is so pretty

I wish her all the best. Very brave.

[@jdogsful]

how were they not watching over such a high profile group of kids with a magnifying glass?

[@wabisabi7755]

Riiiight? They didn't know that everyone would be watching and wanting some updates?

[@chuckfreakingnorris3333]

I’m very proud of her. Even with all she has been through, she is still going strong and telling the world that she is here. She is an uplifting individual with so much ahead of her in life. She is someone that we all can look up to.

She's like a glue to her family, *siblings. I wish you Jordan all happiness in life.

Jordan and her siblings have been through so much and I hope they will have a bright fulfilling future ahead of them. They have so much talent, despite being abused so horrifically by the people who were supposed to love and protect them.

[@Vic-ek1fv]

It’s so sad knowing the siblings were separated instead of being placed all together, and the six youngest were with that evil couple. The system failed these kids too many times

[@DavidRodriguez-gu3fo]

if only you new this happens everyday and i can say that i have never met my two younger brothers

[@life_happens_reviews]

@@DavidRodriguez-gu3fo that's heartbreakingly sad 😢

[@martheresa7550]

True. In my country, the system doesn't allow for only one child to be adopted. ALL of the siblings should be adopted by same parent. They're not allowed to be separated. There's also extensive background check on the foster parents, etc.

[@poker_18rs92]

I hope Jordan and her siblings win that case and get a lot of money. They all deserve it. And I’m so happy to see that Jordan looks happy and is doing so well for herself.

[@kmbevan664]

Yes, and that THEY ACTUALLY GET the money this time.

[@PresleyTscott93]

Love this girl!! I’ve been following her story for a year or two and I’m always in awe of how strong she is.

[@mirrrstery]

Im so freaking happy for her! She deserves everything in the world!

[@BaynexoMusicOfficial]

I feel so terrible for her and all the other kids in that house. She grew up not knowing so many things. I wish them incredible lives.

[@jpvq31]

She really needs more exposure and hopefully more jobs and gig for her so she could provide for her siblings. God Bless you dear!

[@dearthofdoohickeys4703]

She’s an absolute gem, and is beautiful in every sense of the word. I’m sure she still has dark days, but to walk away from that horror and _still_ be positive is a rare quality. I hope her and her siblings win their claim, and live long happy lives.

[@lotusyoshida]

from childhood until now, she's a hero to her siblings. God bless you, Jordan!
