You can see the 6 ADULT Turpin children in this video -- looking like children.

NBC unmasked the faces of the adult Turpin progeny in the video.

Louise Turpin's sister saw the 13 and says she repeatedly commented to her sister on how skinny they were. But she never reported it to authorities, which is what she should have done.

The paternal grandparents stayed with the family for 5 days several years ago and somehow didn't notice that there were several adults who looked and behaved like children.
