Photos show Ohio home where 16 children were rescued
Officials say the children were confined to a 12-by-12 area for most of 4 years, and one was in intensive care.
- On July 1, authorities discovered 16 children living in "deplorable conditions" at a Hamden, Ohio, home while serving an unrelated search warrant, leading to four arrests.
- Vinton County Sheriff Ryan Cain noted the family kept the children confined to a 12x12 area for "most of the last 4 years," describing conditions with bacterial and human feces present throughout.
- Several children required emergency medical care, with two flown to trauma centers and one intubated in the ICU, as Ohio Attorney General Andy Wilson reported children ranged from 1.5 to 18 years old.
- Gary Siders Jr., Gary Siders Sr., Christina Siders, and Elizabeth Siders each face 16 counts of child endangerment, with Vinton County Prosecutor William Archer handling the case and bonds set at $300,000 each.
- Investigators have found no evidence of a public threat or human trafficking, and the children are now in temporary custody of the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services as the investigation continues.
