Sixteen Children Confined for Years | Sheffield News

Sixteen children, ages 18 months to 18 years, were found trapped in a 12x12 foot room in Hamden, Ohio, after four years of horrific neglect—some unable to speak, the eldest couldn’t write her name. Parents and grandparents face felony child endangerment charges for hiding the kids from society, avoiding school, medical records, and even legal notices. Neighbors were baffled, saying they never saw children at the home—and their livestock were treated better. Authorities warn the situation could have ended in multiple deaths. The accused, all denying guilt, include one parent seeking release to reunite with her kids. Investigators are still piecing together how this nightmare went undetected for so long.
