Grandfather Found Incompetent in Ohio Child Case | Portland Maine News

In Vinton County, Ohio, a 73-year-old grandfather, Gary Siders Senior, has been ruled incompetent to stand trial in a shocking child endangerment case involving sixteen kids found living in horrific conditions. His lawyer confirms he can’t comprehend court proceedings or assist in his defense, and the state agrees — his charges may be dismissed as early as next week. The case began when police raided the home after a separate investigation into alleged sexual abuse by his son and daughter-in-law, who also face serious charges. All four adults were arrested and evaluated; while Gary Senior’s fate is now legally settled, the other family members’ cases continue, with the children’s well-being at the heart of this deeply troubling saga.
