A $13.5 million settlement has been reached for six children who were placed in an abusive California home after being rescued from horrific conditions in their parents’ care, according to the settlement documents.
Riverside County will pay $2.25 million to six of the Turpin children, most now adults, while the care agency ChildNet will contribute $11.25 million. The settlement follows a civil lawsuit claiming that the Olguin family, who took in the children after their 2018 rescue, physically abused them, striking them with sandals, pulling their hair, forcing them to eat vomit, and making them recount their trauma.
