'The only phrase I can think of to describe it is torment,' the Turpin sisters said of their family's haunted mansion.

Jordan Turpin was 17 years old when she crawled out of a window of her family's house, seeking to save her 12 siblings' lives. She had been plotting her escape for two years, after decades of horrible mental and physical abuse by her parents in their Perris, California home. Jordan hurried outside with nothing except an old cellphone she discovered in the home and dialled 911. Jordan, now 21, told ABC News' Diane Sawyer in an exclusive interview Friday, "I was always frightened that if I contacted the authorities or attempted to flee, I would be caught, and then I knew I would die if I was found." "But, in the end, when I saw all of my younger siblings, I realised I had to do it." She informed officers during the terrifying 911 call that the family's home smelled so horrible that she couldn't breathe and that she and her siblings may need to go to the hospital.

She instantly gave the first police officer her phone, which was full of images and videos she had taken of herself and her siblings to verify the abuse. Her daring escape in January 2018 led to the discovery of her siblings and exposed one of the "worst, most severe child abuse cases" ever seen, according to Riverside County District Attorney Mike Hestrin. Some of the siblings, who varied in age from 2 to 29, were discovered chained and padlocked to their beds. A handful of the adults seemed to be young teens due to their malnutrition. Jordan sat in the back of a police cruiser that morning, watching as her parents, David and Louise Turpin, were taken into custody. After pleading guilty to 14 counts of torture, adult abuse, child endangerment, false detention, and other offences, the two were sentenced to 25 years to life in prison.

Jennifer Turpin and her sister Jordan Turpin with Diane Sawyer of ABC News. Their first glimmers of liberation When authorities arrived at the Turpin house to do a welfare check, it didn't take long for them to realise the gravity of the children's harrowing situation. According to ABC News' "Escape From A House Of Horror," they found a residence reeking of human waste, decomposing rubbish, and mouldy food, with trash covering every surface. The youngsters were discovered sitting calmly in dirty beds, languid, thin, caked in mud, and with bruises on their arms. One youngster was discovered with his wrist and ankle shackled to the bedpost, where he had remained for weeks. The thick shackles put on the youngsters are seen on bodycam video from that day. " 'The only phrase I can think of to describe it is torment,' says the narrator "Jennifer Turpin, the oldest of the children, expressed her thoughts. The 13 Turpin children were transferred to a hospital, where they were treated for a variety of ailments by nurses and physicians. Some were so malnourished that they could scarcely walk, while others had cardiac problems as a result of a lack of nutrition. According to ABC, one preteen's arm was the size of a 4.5-month-old infant. The children were illiterate and had no knowledge of the outside world.   Neighbors leave notes for the Turpin children on the front door of David and Louise Turpin's house, where the couple was arrested for allegedly keeping 13 children prisoner. Hestrin added that in addition to acute caloric starvation and muscular loss, some of the participants suffered cognitive impairment and "neuropathy," or nerve damage, as a consequence of the harsh and protracted physical abuse. Jennifer Turpin began her celebrations by dancing in the centre of her hospital ward. "I got up because music was playing," Jennifer, now 33, told Sawyer. "I danced after making sure there was a tiny bit of a floor cleaned away." A thrilling excursion to a playground was also included. "I was giddy with anticipation because I could smell the grass and the breeze. 'How could paradise be any greater than this?' I wondered." Jordan remarked. "Oh my god, this is so free, like, this is life," says the narrator.  

Jennifer Turpin and her sister Jordan Turpin with Diane Sawyer of ABC News. "At the very least, I tried if anything bad occurred to me." According to investigators, the parents starved their 13 children by shackling them with padlocks and teasing them with pies placed on their kitchen counter. They hadn't seen a doctor in almost four years, and none of them had ever gone to the dentist. The girls informed Sawyer that their entire diet consisted of peanut butter sandwiches. They were only offered frozen items on rare occasions. They were severely punished if they were still hungry and were found attempting to eat anything else. The youngsters were sometimes so hungry that they ate ketchup packets and ice cubes. "It begs the question, 'How can any sane person do this?' when you have parents torturing their children to this extent, and they're their own flesh and blood." On the ABC News special, Hestrin remarked. "And the reality is that even rational individuals perform bad deeds on a regular basis." Jordan said she overheard her dad stating they were transferring the family to Oklahoma the day before she escaped. Jordan said that if they had relocated, there was a "good probability" that some of them would have perished. She said, "That was my only chance." "I believe it was our many near-death experiences. If anything were to happen to me, at the very least I would have tried." Jordan remembered the first time she imagined what her life might be like if she wasn't confined. She claims it was because of Justin Bieber, whose songs and interviews resonated to her. While "As Long As You Love Me," "Boyfriend," and "Baby" are among her favourite Justin Bieber songs, it wasn't only his music that prompted her to take action.

According to ESPN, Noah Syndergaard is leaving the New York Mets.

According to ESPN's Jeff Passan, the right-hander has agreed to a one-year, $21 million agreement with the Los Angeles Angels, pending a physical. The Mets had made Syndergaard a qualifying offer, a one-year, $18.4 million deal for 2022. After missing the whole 2020 season due to Tommy John surgery, Syndergaard returned to the mound late in the 2021 season, throwing only two innings. During his six seasons with the Mets, the 29-year-old went 47-31 with a 3.32 ERA in 121 games.

Why Is Abomination So Distinct in Shang-Chi? (Not Just Redesigned)

While Abomination's look has been modified for Marvel's Shang-Chi, he also appears to be less of a horrific monster in terms of personality. Why?

While Abomination's look has been modified for Marvel's Shang-Chi, he also appears to be less of a horrific monster in terms of personality. Why? While the Abomination was recreated for Marvel's Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, he not only looks different than he did in The Incredible Hulk, but he also acts differently. In the MCU's second film, starring Edward Norton as Bruce Banner, Emil Blonsky (played by Tim Roth) underwent a monster metamorphosis in search of greater gamma power to challenge the Hulk. Blonsky, as the Abomination, wreaked devastation in Harlem until he was vanquished by the Hulk himself. But it was about 13 years ago. In Shang-Chi, it appears that the Abomination is no longer as horrible as he once was. The title hero, played by Simu Liu in Marvel's Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, is looking for his sister Xialing after being attacked by operatives of their crime lord father Wenwu, also known as the Mandarin. Shang-Chi and his companion Katy ultimately track down Xialing, who runs the Golden Daggers club, an underground fighting ring. Before Shang-Chi is forced to battle in the ring, the couple see the Master of the Mystic Arts Wong face off against a revised Abomination, who has been upgraded to better resemble his counterpart in the comics, as compared to his original cinematic debut in 2008. more from here : Destin is a Maui native.

Barbados has proclaimed Rihanna a national hero: 'May you always shine brightly like a diamond.'

Rihanna's whole "work, work, work, work, work" has been recognised by her homeland. Barbados' Prime Minister Mia Mottley called the musician and entrepreneur the country's 11th national hero as the island celebrated becoming a republic for the first time in history. "Ambassador Robyn Rihanna Fenty has shown innovative and pioneering leadership in her service to Barbados," Prime Minister Mia Mottley said during the Monday night event. The 33-year-old "Umbrella" singer collected the award while dressed in an orange Bottega Veneta gown with multiple huge braids. "May you continue to shine like a diamond and bring respect to your country," Prime Minister Mottley said, using the singer's song "Diamonds" from 2012.

Barbados has proclaimed Rihanna a national hero: 'May you always shine brightly like a diamond.' The musician got a huge medal embossed with the shape of Barbados and blew a kiss to the ecstatic throng in a separate ceremony on Tuesday. "This is one of those days that I will never forget." It's also a day I didn't see coming," she remarked in a short address encouraging the young to keep pushing Barbados ahead. "I've toured the globe and gotten several prizes and accolades, but nothing compares to being acknowledged in your own backyard." The event on Monday was attended by a number of politicians and dignitaries, including Prince Charles, whom Rihanna met after being brought on stage alongside Mottley. more about Robyn Rihanna : Rihanna Tops $1 Billion in Net Worth: Report When Mottley introduced Rihanna, she said the pop singer came from modest beginnings and was born less than a mile away from the wedding. In a letter to Barbados on Tuesday, Queen Elizabeth II, who is no longer the country's head of state, expressed her congratulations. "I express my congratulations to you and all Barbadians on this historic occasion and your assumption of office as the first President of Barbados," she wrote. "I first visited your lovely nation on the verge of independence in early 1966, and I'm delighted that my son is still here with you now. Barbados' people have kept a particular place in my heart ever then." Barbados has been independent from the United Kingdom since 1966, but on Tuesday, the country's first president, Sandra Mason, was sworn in as the country's first president to commemorate the country's 55th year of independence.

Rihanna is now officially a billionaire:

She is the 'richest female musician,' according to Forbes. The island's journey to becoming a republic started more than two decades ago, and completed last month with the island's Parliament choosing the first-ever president with a two-thirds majority vote. According to Suleiman Bulbulia, a journalist for the Barbados Today newspaper, the flag, coat of arms, and national song would stay the same, but specific allusions may alter. The titles "royal" and "crown" will be phased out, thus the Royal Barbados Police Force will become the Barbados Police Service, and "crown lands" will become "state lands," he wrote. He remarked, "It is the dawn of a new age." "Any Barbadian may now aspire to be our President."

Barbados has proclaimed Rihanna a national hero: 'May you always shine brightly like a diamond.' It's the first time in more than 20 years that Barbados has honoured a national hero: the last recipient was former cricketer Garfield St. Aubrun Sobers. Rihanna joins a long list of other Barbados national heroes, including public personalities and politicians such as Errol Barrow, Barbados' first prime minister, and slave uprising leader Bussa. Rihanna was named one of the wealthiest female performers in the world by Forbes this year, earning her the status of billionaire. Her net worth is estimated to be $1.7 billion, with the most of it coming from her cosmetics brand Fenty Beauty, according to the outlet. Rihanna Has Been Named a National Hero. That's right, I said it. Barbados deposed Queen Elizabeth II as its head of state and became a republic on Monday, the 55th anniversary of its independence from the United Kingdom. Out with colonialism and a bloody history of imperial legacies, and in with Dame Sandra Mason and, of course, Rihanna. The celebration on Monday was a joyous occasion attended by scores of authorities, including Prince Charles, who spoke in place of his mother to congratulate Barbadians in a speech that recognised the island's "appalling crime" of British slavery. Mason, 72, was formerly governor-general, and Prime Minister Mia Mottley swore him in as the country's new president. As the island transitioned to being a republic, Parliament chose her to be the Barbadian head of state in October. "This distinction is being granted to a lady of this land," Mottley remarked in a speech commemorating Mason's inauguration.

facts about John Madden that you probably didn't know about the Hall of Fame coach and broadcaster

John Madden was lifted aloft by his team after the Raiders won their first Super Bowl on January 9, 1977. And, despite reaching the pinnacle of his profession at the age of 40, Madden was still in the early stages of an unrivalled football career that encompassed ten years as an NFL head coach and another 30 years in broadcasting. Madden is also the creator of the most recognisable football video game of all time. Madden was elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2006, when he was 85 years old. Madden advised the NFL's competition committee and safety panel after retiring from broadcasting. With a new documentary on Madden's career scheduled to premiere on Christmas Day, here are five facts about the great coach and the voice of NFL Sundays for a generation of football fans.

Career-ending injury a blessing in disguise Madden's NFL career ended almost as fast as it started, when the Philadelphia Eagles selected him 244th overall in the 1958 draught. During his rookie training camp, he had a knee injury. Madden opted to spend his leisure time reviewing video with quarterback Norm Van Brocklin, who was on the back nine of a Hall of Fame career, while he was recovering. "He used to nickname me Red," Madden recounted. "'Hey Red, come on up here with me,' he urged. Because I'm the only one present, he's speaking loudly. It was the best schooling I've ever had, Norm Van Brocklin." Madden officially entered the coaching ranks two years after being picked by the Eagles. He spent four years as the defensive coordinator at Allan Hancock College in California before moving on to San Diego State. Al Davis hired Madden as the Raiders' defensive coordinator in 1967. At the conclusion of the season, Madden faced up against his coaching hero, Vince Lombardi, who was coaching his last game as head coach of the Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl II. Davis stunned many when he hired Madden, then 32, as his new head coach two years later. Davis hired Madden when Chuck Noll, who had just led the Colts to the Super Bowl as defensive coordinator, took the head coaching job in Pittsburgh. more about Madden : NFL rookies disappointed by ‘Madden 22’ ratings  Coaching buddy for life Happy 85th birthday, John Madden.

John Robinson, the former coach of USC and the Los Angeles Rams, was his greatest boyhood buddy. Both Madden and Robinson attended Oregon on football scholarships. While Robinson was a four-year starter for the Ducks, Madden went to Cal Poly and became an all-conference offensive lineman. He also caught for the school's baseball team. "We were going to play for the Yankees in the summer and the 49ers in the winter," Robinson remarked, recalling his and Madden's youthful ambitions. "We realised that maybe this fantastic career wasn't going to materialise." While neither Madden nor Robinson were big names as players, they were two of the finest coaches of their day. In 1976, Madden became the sixth coach in NFL history to win the Super Bowl. As a collegiate coach, Robinson has an 8-1 bowl record, including a 4-0 record in Rose Bowl games. In 1985 and 1989, he guided the Rams to NFC Championship Game appearances. Robinson's first Rose Bowl victory came only one week before Madden's first Super Bowl victory in the same venue.

Madden took the Raiders to the playoffs eight times in his ten seasons as head coach. Under Madden, the Raiders competed in seven AFC championship games, including five consecutive from 1973 to 1977. And, after falling short in his first five AFC championship games, Madden and the Raiders ultimately won it all in 1976. Following a 13-1 regular season, the Raiders dethroned the Steelers, who had beaten Oakland in the previous two AFC championship games, to earn their first trip to the Super Bowl. The Raiders destroyed the Vikings in Super Bowl XI thanks to a brutal rushing offence and an equally destructive defence. Fred Biletnikoff, who set up three of the Raiders' four offensive touchdowns, was named MVP of the game. The Raiders triumphed 32-14, giving Madden and the Raiders their first championship. "They will never be able to take that away from you," Madden remarked of his Super Bowl victory. "Perhaps the fact that we pursued it for so long made it seem greater to us. It was the most wonderful sensation in the world. Nothing can compete with it." While the Super Bowl was the most famous game, Madden was a part of numerous other memorable games during his stint on the sidelines. The "Immaculate Reception," "The Sea of Hands," "Holly Roller," and "Ghost to the Post" are among these games. G.O.A.T. meets G.O.A.T. The famed pairing John Madden and Pat Summerall's farewell Super Bowl broadcast coincided with Tom Brady's first of seven Super Bowl victories. Brady led the Patriots to one of the biggest Super Bowl shocks in history, defeating the much fancied Rams in Super Bowl XXXVI, with Summerall and Madden providing the background. Madden and Summerall combined to work eight Super Bowls (five on CBS), the most ever for a broadcast team. While their streak concluded with the "G.O.A.T.," it started with Joe Montana's (Brady's boyhood hero) first Super Bowl victory: the 49ers' 26-21 victory against the Bengals in Super Bowl XVI. Madden remarked of his longtime broadcast colleague, "He was John Wayne and Walter Cronkite." "He had the ability to keep things on a level keel. Pat could sum it up in three words if I went off on a tangent. 'That's what I was trying to communicate,' I'd think."

Madden won 16 Emmy Awards for his colourful commentary, as well as the NSAA National Sportscaster of the Year award in 1994 and the Pete Rozelle Radio-Television Award in 2002. Madden's 'Cruiser' was inducted into the Hall of Fame. Due to his reluctance to flying, Madden spent the most of his broadcasting career taking the bus to NFL games. In 1987, a Greyhound bus was transformed into the "Madden Cruiser." The original "Madden Cruiser" was presented to the Hall of Fame in 2018, where it was restored to its original state. Two colour TVs, a telephone and intercommunications system, a citizens band radio, two laser disc players, a built-in vacuum cleaner, a sound system, and a VHS player are all included in the original "Madden Cruiser." A private bedroom with a queen-sized bed, a full bathroom, and a kitchenette with a microwave oven are all included aboard the bus.

In an interview for a TV documentary, Bill Belichick expresses admiration for John Madden.

John Madden was a familiar face in the NFL for a long time. He was, in many respects, the voice of football. He was a Sunday mainstay in American families for three decades, a figure with various sponsorships who donated his name and picture to the world's largest football computer game. Madden, on the other hand, has kept out of the limelight in recent years. The fact that he was included in a video that ran before to the Patriots-Falcons game on Thursday night was entertaining. The movie started with an old interview with Bill Belichick, who was sitting with Madden before Super Bowl XXXVI. In the years after the interview, Madden has pondered on it, remarking that he understood how sophisticated Belichick's football knowledge has become in the years since. "You know how you think you know something until you meet someone who really understands it, and then you realise you don't?" Madden explains. "Bill Belichick has a history with it. He was so far ahead of me, I mean. I discovered that I don't know nearly as much as I formerly believed." Belichick recalled a day when he was an assistant coach with the Broncos, who were playing Madden's Raiders, and reminisced on that day. "First and foremost, you don't mistake John for anybody else when you look at him," Belichick remarked. "From the front, the side, and the rear, you can see this person a mile away." He just had a one-of-a-kind profile. He also constantly wore his obnoxious sideline pass. The thing was continually blowing up, and it was all over the place." Madden laughed at the sideline pass statement. “John was on top of the game. Not really any weaknesses.” Legendary coaches John Madden and Bill Belichick talk about the mutual respect they have for each other in this exclusive preview moment from ‘ALL MADDEN’, the new original documentary premiering Christmas Day on FOX. pic.twitter.com/NvC0kLurLr — FOX Sports: NFL (@NFLonFOX) November 19, 2021 Belichick then read aloud a quotation from John Madden, who said that coaching helps players to go from "being excellent at recess" to "genius."
