Ohio Mother Charged in 16 Child Endangerment Counts Seeks Release to Reunite With 16 Children

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jul 14

Elizabeth Siders, 33, asked an Ohio court to let her out of jail under conditions so she can pursue reunification with the 16 children removed from the home.
Her lawyer said she has no criminal history, would appear in court, and would not threaten the children because they are no longer in her care; a judge has not ruled.
A $300,000 bond was set for Siders and three co-defendants—her husband and his parents—who each face 16 second-degree child endangerment counts after a June 30 raid.
Officials said the children, ages 18 months to 18 years, were found in deplorable conditions with feces and bacterial matter; two were airlifted, and authorities said a 24-hour delay could have meant multiple deaths.
