I cannot believe this story has become so sensationalized. It's like every time you turn around they make it sound worse and more dramatic.
I remember reading an article about the story, and it talked of one of the girls, "she never even walked on a sidewalk", then showing an image right after of all of them at Disneyland, and Vegas.
The movie by itself was good. It actually came up with a good explanation for the phones, and how the girls had their own YouTube channels (even though they "didn't know" what anything was) Funny, it's kind a b**** to load a video to YT.
The movie, I guess, for drama, showed the kids never leaving the house, ever, when it's known the family took multiple vacations a year. Staying in hotels, riding rides, seeing other people, walking on sidewalks.
It's funny in a way that people just like to loosely roll over that fact they left the house multiple times per year. They weren't completely blind to the outside world.
I think these kids were neglected, and treated badly based on religion, but the media and this movie sensationalized it for sure. The movie was good, but just make you take it with a grain of salt for being nothing but very very loosely based on the Turpins..
