Hopkins Children Kept Virtual Prisoners

The children of Anthony and Arletha Hopkins were kept virtual prisoners. The children were said to be home-schooled, but officials are not sure what they were taught. Alabama officials do not require any proof that home-schooled students are taught anything. Neighbors are saying that the children were not allowed to play with the children in the neighborhood or talk to anyone.
"These kids had no contact with anybody who could offer them protection," District Attorney John Tyson said. The daughter who reported the murder and rape just left home two weeks ago.
The family of Arletha Hopkins did not she was missing until police notified them of the murder. They did not live in the area.
