SHOCKING CHILD WELFARE CRISIS IN OHIO: 16 CHILDREN RESCUED FROM VINTON COUNTY HOME
"This is pure EVIL..." -Ohio Attorney General Andy Wilson
An extensive multi-agency task force in southeastern Ohio has launched a major criminal investigation after uncovering what state leaders describe as one of the most severe cases of child neglect in recent history. On Tuesday, emergency responders and child welfare advocates extracted 16 children from a single-family home in Hamden, Ohio.
The victims range in age from 18 months old to 18 years old. According to the Ohio Attorney General's office, the immediate threat to the children's lives was so severe that two victims required emergency helicopter evacuation to regional trauma hubs, while the remaining 14 were distributed to hospitals across the state for urgent medical interventions.
Official Statements from State Leaders
The gravity of the scene drew immediate reactions from top state officials, who pledged full state resources to assist local Vinton County investigators.
"This is pure evil what we saw down here today. It is one of the worst cases I have witnessed in my career."
— Ohio Attorney General Andy Wilson
In an official press release, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine expressed deep profound sorrow regarding the medical states of the rescued minors, noting that the Ohio Department of Children and Youth is actively embedded with local services to oversee their long-term recovery and care.
Legal Proceedings and Criminal Charges
On Wednesday morning, four adult residents of the home appeared in Vinton County Common Pleas Court for their formal arraignments. All four individuals entered pleas of not guilty to the extensive felony charges leveled against them.
The Defendants: Gary Siders Sr., Gary Siders Jr., Christina Siders, and Elizabeth Siders.
The Charges: Each individual faces 17 counts of second-degree felony child endangerment.
Bail Terms: Judge Laila Fetherolf Rogers set bond at $300,000 cash for each suspect.
Should any of the defendants secure release on bond, the court has mandated strict protective guardrails. They will be required to wear active GPS ankle tracking devices and are prohibited from having any contact with the victims or with one another. Observers inside the courtroom noted that the eldest defendant, Gary Siders Sr., appeared highly disoriented and struggled to follow the legal dialogue during the proceedings.
Developing Claims and Backstory
While state law enforcement bureaus—including the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) and the Vinton County Sheriff's Department—have declined to publicly clarify the exact dynamic within the residence or what triggered the initial response, extended family members have shared significant background details.
According to these familial accounts, the household consisted of three generations living under one roof: Gary Jr. and Elizabeth are the biological parents of the 16 children, while Gary Sr. and Christina are the grandparents. Relatives allege that a severe mental health crisis involving one of the older children prompted an emergency 911 call, which subsequently exposed the household's environment to arriving deputies.
Furthermore, family sources claim that while relatives knew the Ohmer Street home suffered from severe cleanliness issues, they were entirely unaware of physical harm coming to the minors. They indicated that the grandmother had previously acted as the primary household manager but was recently incapacitated by a severe dementia diagnosis, leaving the home without adequate oversight. A secondary investigation remains highly active at the property as forensics teams continue their analysis.
@philthatremains If you can prove the line,and if anyone fought in the revolution, you can apply to be a "son of liberty". My husband and sons qualified. Free park passes and to historical sights. ❤️🔥
@JesterJum They are going to ruin their homes with mold. 78 is the temp safest to STOP mold growth. Anything higher is asking for issue. We just leave ours on 76 24/7, all year. 😆
New LEAVE NOW evacuation orders have gone out due to the 12,376 acre Gold Mountain Fire burning near Ouray, Colorado.
The fire remains active and is pushing into these areas:
EVACUATION ORDER in effect for the area East of US 550 north of County Road (CR) 8 and south of CR 8A east to the US Forest boundary south to CR8 B along Cow Creek. Anyone in this area should EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY DUE TO RAPID FIRE GROWTH.
EVACUATE the Forest Service lands in the Cow Creek, Big Cimarron, and Silver Jack Basin areas. Lands to the east of Hwy 550, south of Hwy 50, and west of East Fork of the Cimarron are closed.
Months before the Supreme Court ever ruled, I had a feeling exactly this would happen. An executive order was never going to be strong enough to permanently fix birthright citizenship, no matter how good the intentions behind it were. That's why I filed a constitutional amendment early this year instead of waiting around to see how the courts would rule.
This decision confirms what I already suspected. If we want real, lasting change, it has to come through the amendment process.
This was not a decision on procedural grounds (ie, POTUS can’t do this through executive order but Congress could legislate it); it is a substantive decision that says the 14th amendment requires citizenship for those born to, among others, birth tourists or those unlawfully present in the country.
Will need either a constitutional amendment or a future court to overrule this.
Anyway you slice it, the decision is a major defeat.
@StefanBurnsGeo Really hard not to feel utterly destroyed by the reality of this earth right now. We have to dig deep to pray and ask God to bring us more light where it's needed.

With the sudden advance of communism in this country, we made this (absurdly expensive) video short to help you understand what Marxism/communism/socialism are.
I hope you find it helpful.
