Ohio rescue uncovers 16 children living in squalor in rural home

Authorities in rural Hamden, Ohio rescued 16 children aged 1 to 18 from an overcrowded, filthy five-bedroom home, described as squalid with piles of trash and little furniture. The children, mostly confined to a single room for years and not enrolled in school, were hospitalized with some in serious condition. Four family members — the grandparents and their son and daughter-in-law — were charged with 16 counts of felony endangering children; if convicted on all counts, they could face up to 192 years in prison. Police tape remained around the property more than a week after the June 30 warrant.
