Thirteen children that were recently discovered having been abused for years by their parents after one of them escaped captivity in their California house, were only allowed to eat one meal a day, a law enforcement official said on Jan. 18.

The siblings, ranging in age from 2 to 29, were discovered in squalid conditions in Perris, 70 miles east of Los Angeles, after a 17-year-old girl escaped from the house and called 911.
