Summary

Ohio officials revealed the latest chilling details on the 16 children discovered in a rural Ohio house this week, saying if they had been found 24 hours later, “there was a very high probability that we’d be dealing with a death or multiple deaths of these children.” Police on the scene said some of the kids, who range from 18 months to 18-years-old, couldn’t speak or communicate, saying they looked like feral animals. There are so many questions surrounding the four adults living in the home, now charged with 16 counts of child endangerment, facing life in prison for this unthinkable abuse.
