MONSTER DAD TROLLS FOR GALS FROM BEHIND BARS!

Child torturer depicts himself as Mr. Normal

- 

MONSTER dad David Turpin — who notoriously shackled, beat and starved his 13 children at the family’s squalid California home — is now trying to lure a woman into his sadistic world from behind bars.

Prison letters exclusively obtained by The National ENQUIRER show the caged 63-year-old is crafting sweet-talking notes to snag a girlfriend — and incredibly dispensing dad-like advice to pen pals.

“My opinion is that you should be with somebody who appreciates you, lifts you up, and makes you feel special,” states the slimeball, who used chains to keep his hungry kids away from food.

In another letter, Turpin seems to try to come across as a picture-perfect father figure. “I am happy that I encouraged you to go back to college,” the handwritten letter states. “I would love to help you with math.”

The creep opens another letter with: “How are you doing sweetie? I wrote to you on August 15, but I haven’t received a reply ... I hope I didn’t make you feel bad with anything I said in the last letter.”

The saccharine sentences belie the tormentor’s dark side, which was exposed Jan. 14, 2018, when his long-suffering children were discovered inside a Perris, Calif., hell-house after daughter Jordan, then 17, fled through a window in a brave, successful bid to save her siblings.

The children, then aged 2 to 29, were found severely malnourished and filthy since they weren’t allowed to bathe.
