Sounds like Child Protective Services was called.These people are beginning to seem like the Turpins...keeping the kids indoors, isolated, punishing them by withholding food...wtf?
I saw on TV one of the kids went to a neighbors at around 1 AM in the morning and asked them to protect her/him. That's a major league flag right there
Crap....yes, it is.
I don't understand why the police were not called. Our home is a safe home, we have the sign in our front window and if a child is in danger they know they will be safe here. We're required to call the police if a child asks us for help. Common sense should tell someone if it happens call the police

Usually we get stories about how CPS over reacts and takes kids away, etc, etc.
I suspect we will never know exactly what happened here- but I agree with you- I can't fathom what happened- and it is a terrible tragedy.
