Sixteen Children Found in Horrendous Living Conditions - How Do They Fly Under The Radar

Another story ripped from the headlines!!! How is this possible - 16 children living in one room in a house filled with garbage and feces. Four adults abusing and neglecting them all. This went on for years!!!! How could these children fly under the radar? This house was on a main road near train tracks. They had neighbors, somebody had to know. Other family members had to know, BUT AGAIN SILENCE.

This should not be happening in this day and age, but it continues on. How do we change this narrative.

BOTTOM LINE - BREAK THE SILENCE - GET INVOLVED - SEE SOMETHING SAY SOMETHING - QUESTION~~~ FAMILY MEMBERS AND FRIENDS STEP UP

REMEMBER SOMEBODY ALWAYS KNOWS!

Our youth deserve better. Wake up PEOPLE!

I will continue to advocate to bring awareness to child abuse and child safety - WE need to do better.

16 children rescued from Vinton County home, Ohio officials charge 4 people | Fox News

16 children rescued from Ohio home were 'almost feral,' authorities say

Four people have been arrested after 16 children were found living in "deplorable" conditions and in need of medical treatment in a rural Ohio home, officials said Wednesday.

The children were found during a search of the home in Hamden, 60 miles southeast of Columbus, Ohio, state Attorney General Andy Wilson said at a news conference.

"Conditions you cannot even imagine people being in, let alone children being in," Wilson said.

The children were removed from the home. Wilson called it the worst scene he had encountered in his career, describing it as "pure evil." Several were in serious condition when found, and two were flown to Level 1 trauma centers because of their injuries.

"If they had waited 24 hours, there is a very high probability that we’d be dealing with a death, or multiple deaths, of these children," Wilson said.

Vinton County Sheriff Ryan Cain described horrid conditions, saying there was a high presence of feces and bacterial matter.
