Description

The 16 children pulled from the home on Ohmer St. are now in foster care, but information about their conditions has been kept private due to Ohio law. The child endangerment investigation into their parents and grandparents, Gary Siders, Sr., Christina "Lynn" Siders, Gary Siders, Jr,, and Elizabeth Siders, is continuing. But even some Siders family members are raising questions about how this happened. And state legislators are asking questions about how the children may have fallen through cracks. Law&Crime's Angenette Levy talks with State Rep. Mark Johnson about what he has learned in this episode of Crime Fix — a daily show covering the biggest stories in crime. Guest: State Rep.

Hopefully the Foster homes are better than the ones they sent the Turpin kids. Re-traumatized those poor kiddos with abusive foster parents.

Five bucks says he was using his parents checks to support everyone, didn't work, ruled the house with an iron fist and she went along with it because she's been in it since she was a teenage girl. Someone shoulda said something when he first got her pregnant and none of this would have happened to any of these kids.

I’m really surprised that she had those children at the hospital. It’s hard to believe.

Sadly, the older ones are going to need more help. No education, no socialization, no nutrition, they are going to need a lot of therapy. Can foster homes care for them? They need full time attention. 😢

Let's be so for real. At this point, jail isn't even punitive for these parents. It would be a better life than they've already been living. Even making bail -- Why? Where would they go and how would they live? They're better off staying where they are and they and their lawyers know it.

They didn't apply for food stamps because if they woulda requested $$ for 16 kids and 2 adults; CPS would have been at their door to investigate and verify that number of kids listed along with the conditions. Once CPS saw the conditions, Gary JR knew they be arrested. They was ducking CPS.
