## Resource

Gary Siders Junior, accused of endangering 16 children found in horrific conditions, is now asking the court if he’s mentally fit to stand trial—his lawyer just filed a motion demanding a psychiatric evaluation before the case moves forward. The kids, some with developmental delays, are now in state custody receiving critical medical and psychological care, while Siders faces 16 felony charges and public indecency misdemeanors, all while his competency hearing looms as the legal system prioritizes the children’s safety and recovery.
