Ohio mother of 16 pleads not guilty after children rescued from squalor

Elizabeth Siders, 34, pleaded not guilty to 16 counts of child endangerment and neglect after authorities found 16 of her children—ranging from 17 months to 18 years old—living in deplorable conditions in a Hamden, Ohio home, confined to a 12-by-12 foot room among human waste and not attending school. Bond was raised to $550,000; she and her husband face additional charges in a separate case involving sexual battery and unlawful conduct with a minor, with competency evaluations requested and a no-contact order in place.
