Description

The parents of the 16 Siders children found in a home in Vinton County, Ohio, were summoned to court for their children in another county nearly five years ago. The juvenile court in neighboring Gallia County issued truancy complaints involving six of the children after they failed to attend school in 2021. The case was ultimately dismissed after Elizabeth Siders and Gary Siders couldn't be served with the complaints. Law&Crime's Angenette Levy digs into the details in this episode of Crime Fix — a daily show covering the biggest stories in crime.

Foster families are not equipped to deal with children with this level of trauma. I worry about this.

For those who have been following...there's nothing new here except the state allocating $1M to the county to care for the kids.

Too bad, the million dollars will not actually go to the children for their care. It will be eaten up by government bureaucracy. That kind of money could buy a suitable home and pay for private tutoring and counseling. It would be nice if a private group home could be established just for the children of this family.

16 kids and nobody noticed for YEARS? The system didn't fail these children... it abandoned them.

It seems to me that when a smelly unwashed pregnant woman shows up with no record of any prenatal care at the same hospital year after year and gets discharged without some kind of follow up investigation……..somebody was NEGLIGENT in their duty.

A social worker coming to the house does NOTHING! I lived in a hoarder house. Mom bathed me like once a month. Missed more than half the year. Mom had bs excuses why no one could come in and they just left it... I should have been taken by CPS the day I was born like my 2 older siblings were taken away. The state fails children EVERY day. Y'all need to fix this

So, long story short, nobody did nothing for the kids 😢
