A disturbing investigation in Hamden, Ohio, continues after authorities removed 16 children, ranging from 18 months to 18 years old, from a home described as severely unsafe and unsanitary. Several children required immediate medical care, including two who were transported to trauma centers. 💔

The children’s parents, Elizabeth and Gary Siders Jr., and their grandparents, Christina and Gary Siders Sr., were each charged with 16 counts of felony child endangerment. All four have pleaded not guilty, and every accusation must still be proven in court. ⚖️

Newly reported court records also revealed that Elizabeth previously delivered conjoined twin girls, Faith and Bailey Lee, prematurely in 2022. The babies survived for only about an hour—a separate family tragedy now receiving renewed attention because of the current investigation. 🕊️

Officials say the rescued children are now receiving medical care and protective support while investigators work to understand how their circumstances remained hidden for so long.

Behind this case are 16 young people who deserve safety, education, compassion and the chance to rebuild their lives. 🙏
