Maybe it was this one?

One neighbor said that one year they bought 8 bikes around Christmas time, left them outside and they were never used.
It sounds like one of the children tried to escape before and was returned by a local resident.
"A deputy was called to the Turpin house in 2001 when a child was bitten by a dog, and Vinyard’s uncle called the sheriff when the couple’s three pigs got loose in 2002. But Vinyard and his wife decided not to alert authorities about suspected abuse.
“We discussed it and we didn’t want to have the repercussions with them,†Vinyard said, especially since Turpin was armed."
The deputy didn't notice anything wrong? More comments from neighbors at link.
More from that article on the 36 acre place in Texas:
“It was waist-deep in filth. There were dead dogs and cats in there,†he said, the smell “rancid.â€
He found two Chihuahuas that had survived by eating waste from a mound of soiled diapers. The family’s Ford F-150 truck was heaped with the dirty diapers and empty Vienna sausage cans, he said, “It seemed like that’s all they ate.â€
The couple had claimed to home-school their children, and the feces-littered living room had the trappings of a makeshift classroom, he said, including eight small desks, a chalkboard, alphabet and number signs stapled to the wall.
As he moved from room to room, he noticed something odd: “Everything had locks on it: The closet had locks, the toy chest, the refrigerator.â€
“There were no beds, just mattresses,†he said, and “There wasn’t a place in that house that wasn’t filthy.â€
Just mind-blowing.
