Many couldn’t speak; one 18-year-old couldn’t write her own name. No school records, no medical care, no government services. Four adults—parents and grandparents—are facing felony charges and each posted a $300,000 bond. Seven kids were hospitalized, one in critical condition. The Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services is now caring for them as authorities race to uncover how this tragedy unfolded and protect these children’s futures.
