Grandfather Found Mentally Unfit in Horrific Home | Charlotte News

A judge in Ohio has ruled that 73-year-old Gary Siders Senior is mentally unfit to stand trial after his sixteen grandchildren were found living in horrific, neglected conditions at his home. The prosecutor agreed with the evaluation, and Siders, whose mental state has been declining for years, won’t face trial. His wife, son, and daughter-in-law — the children’s mother — all pleaded not guilty. Investigators revealed the kids, aged from 18 months to 18, were confined mostly to one room, malnourished, nonverbal, and out of school. Neighbors had no idea they existed. The oldest child, born in 2008, is reportedly pregnant nearly every year since — her parents, teenagers themselves when they married, now face mounting scrutiny.
