After the discovery of the abuse, California lawmakers began pushing to reexamine state home-schooling policies and increase regulation of home schools.
Members of the media camp out in front of the Perris home of David Allen and Louise Anna Turpin. The couple were arrested on suspicion of torture and child endangerment after their 13 children were found shackled and malnourished.
David Turpin had registered with the state as the principal of Sandcastle Day, saying six school-age children were enrolled.California to reexamine its home-schooling policiesOn Friday, Assemblyman Jose Medina proposed a bill that he said would “tighten up” state regulation. Assemblywomen Susan Talamantes Eggman and Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher have signed on as co-sponors.
Medina’s bill aims to change that. The proposed legislation would require city and county fire departments to conduct annual inspections of all registered home schools in their areas. Home-schooling families who live in parts of the state without fire districts would be subject to annual inspections by the Office of the State Fire Marshal.
California’s current law might seem unusually hands-off for a state often mocked for excessive regulation. But according to the Coalition for Responsible Home Education, a nonprofit that advocates for more active oversight of home-schooled children, the state has policies more more stringent than many others.
