Siders 16 Kids: What Officials Can No Longer Tell You

A judge in Vinton County just signed a gag order that prevents the attorney general's office, the county prosecutor, and the sheriff from making any public statement about the case of sixteen children found in a Hamden, Ohio, home. The day before the order was signed, Ohio approved one million dollars in emergency funding to care for those same children.The order was filed by the defense attorney for Gary Siders Junior, whose unrelated indecent exposure warrant is the only reason deputies ever entered that house. Officials had described what they found — children crammed into a twelve-by-twelve-foot room, unable to communicate, living in conditions compared to livestock pens. The defense argued the language would poison the jury pool. The judge agreed.Truancy records from 2021 show Gallia County knew six Siders children had vanished from school. The cases were closed when the family couldn't be served. Gary Senior was released because the county couldn't afford his medical bills — a fact disclosed at a press conference that would now be prohibited under the gag order. The people who found those children and spoke publicly about the failures that let it happen are the same people who can no longer tell you anything about it.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
