Siders Rescue: How Did 16 Kids Slip Through the Cracks?

Ohio "House of Horrors": How did the Siders children disappear from the system? Newly released documents reveal more details about the family before the arrests of Gary Siders Jr., Elizabeth Siders, Gary Siders Sr., and Christina Siders on Tuesday, June 30th. We wanted to speak with an expert who could help us understand how these kids remained seemingly invisible for so long. In this episode of Criminally Obsessed, investigative reporter Anne Emerson is joined by licensed clinical social worker Kelley Kitley to break down the latest case developments and how this tragedy unraveled from her expert perspective. Newly uncovered truancy records from an elementary school raise troubling details about the Siders kids - six of the children allegedly missed the entire school year in 2021. Officials filed complaints against Elizabeth Siders, but the family disappeared before they could be served.  If there were clear attempts by authorities and social systems to hold the Siders accountable for their actions, what went wrong along the way?  As a newly issued gag order limits what officials can publicly discuss, we break down what we know so far in the Siders investigation and offer a social worker’s professional opinion on the case.
