Freed California siblings feared opposing rundown housing

A year after they were freed from the horribly abusive home of their parents in Southern California, some of the 13 children said they felt pressure to move to a rundown apartment in a crime-ridden area by the county agency tasked with their care.

Freed California siblings feared opposing rundown housing

Several adult children among the 13 siblings freed in 2018 from virtual imprisonment in their abusive parents’ Southern California home found themselves a year later feeling pressured by the county’s guardian to move to an apartment in disrepair in a crime-ridden area, court documents showed. Court documents are slowly being released in Riverside County that were previously sealed in the disturbing case that attracted international attention when details emerged showing the parents shackled and starved their children for years. In a 2019 court filing, an attorney for the adult children of David and Louise Turpin wrote that three of the siblings were taken to see the apartment by an employee for the Riverside County Public Guardian's office and were “fearful to object so they indicated that the apartment was okay with the expectation that other apartments would be viewed."

Coronavirus: Mayors, first responders urge Trump to help them get protective equipment 'now' to fight pandemic

Major groups representing U.S. mayors, county executives, police and fire chiefs and first responders are urging President Donald Trump to use a federal act which he so far has refused to tap to get them "essential personal protective equipment" quickly to help them respond to the coronavirus pandemic. "Our nation's first responders call on you to address the shortage of essential personal protective equipment needed to keep them healthy and safe while on the job," the groups wrote in a letter to Trump. "If we lose emergency personnel to the disease, we cannot transport people to hospitals and protect our citizens," they said. But Trump has resisted calls to use that act to compel companies to produce and ship critically needed items amid the coronavirus outbreak, including PPEs, or personal protective equipment. "We're getting what we need without putting the heavy hand of government down," said White House trade advisor Peter Navarro at a briefing Sunday.

California Highway Patrol officer, suspect killed in shootout

(Reuters) - A California Highway Patrol (CHP) officer was killed along with the suspected gunman during a shootout in southern California on Monday, police said. The motorcycle patrol officer had stopped a white GMC pickup truck, determined that the truck was to be impounded and called for a tow truck, Parker said. Dozens of rounds were fired, local media said, and motorists stopped in traffic fled their vehicles and ran for cover, media reports said. The slain officer, Moye, graduated from a police academy in 2017 and had been a CHP officer for almost three years, a release from the governors office said. Riverside Police officer Ryan Railsback told local media that the motive behind the shooting was not yet known.

California officer likely unaware of killer's criminal past

Public records showing a person's criminal history aren't typically something an officer has access to during a traffic stop. John Aresta, police chief in Malverne, New York, and a past president of the New York State Association of Chiefs of Police, said an officer would have almost no way of knowing a driver's criminal history during a traffic stop. "It's not going to come up with a criminal history and it's not going to come with an asterisk saying 'bad guy,'" Aresta said. Moye had been with the CHP for about three years and was a motorcycle officer for roughly a year. "I'm so sorry for the officer," Luther's wife, McKenzie Luther, told the Southern California News Group.
