There are real monsters out there.
Jordan Turpin quietly climbed up on a windowsill of her parents' home without them knowing and dropped down into the outside world.
The 17-year-old had only been outside a few times in her entire life and she was terrified. Her hands were shaking uncontrollably as she held a deactivated cell phone her parents didnt know she had, but thinking of her siblings chained up inside the house, she worked up the courage to dial 911.
"I was always terrified that if I called the cops or tried to escape, I would get caught, and then I knew I would die if I got caught," Jordan, now 21, told ABC News' Diane Sawyer in an exclusive interview. "But at the end, when I saw all my younger siblings, I knew that's what I had to do."

(17,459 posts)The two sisters that were interviewed broke my heart, but made me proud of them. As proud as I've ever been of anyone.
I have no idea how those children made it through that.

(17,459 posts)The videos are broken up into Part 1, Part 2, etc. I kept watching through the last "Part" that I could see, and then there were no more "parts" but the documentary was not over yet.
Whatever that last "part" was (part 5 maybe?), I scrolled down the comments in that video, and someone had posted a YouTube link to the full video, so I watched the remainder on that video and bookmarked it. However, when I click that bookmark now, it looks like the complete documentary (in one video) was removed by the user. However, watching parts 1-5 will give you most of it. Start here:

(73,620 posts)I remember watching the parents' court hearings. Very disturbed people. So it has been wonderful to see some recent coverage on how some of their children are doing now.
