A California couple who for years starved a dozen of their children and kept some shackled to beds were sentenced Friday to life in prison, ending a shocking case that revealed a house of horrors hidden behind a veneer of suburban normalcy.

Two Maltese-mix dogs were found "healthy and trained" in the California home and are being put up for adoption.

A dozen siblings were found trapped “in dark and foul-smelling surroundings” inside a home in Riverside, Calif. on Sunday morning, police say.
