Relatives stunned to learn 16 children lived in cramped Ohio 'house of horrors'
Relatives of the 16 children rescued from an Ohio home say they were unaware there were that many kids living in a cramped 12-by-12 room, describing deplorable conditions and surprise at headlines about the case. Authorities say the children, aged 1–18, endured feces-filled neglect; four adults have been charged with 16 counts of child endangerment and bail was set at $300,000 each. Some children were in serious condition and not enrolled in school, highlighting the neglect the family says they had no idea was happening.
