🚨 Social Media Accounts Believed to Be Linked to the Ohio Children Surface as Family Attorney Makes New Claims

LATEST UPDATE: THE SOCIAL MEDIA PAGES OF THE 16 CHILDREN FOUND IN OHIO’S “HOUSE OF HORR0RS” HAVE SURFACED… AND THEIR LAWYER SAYS ONE THING COULD CHANGE HOW MANY PEOPLE SEE THE CASE

SOCIAL media pages belonging to children rescued from the Ohio house of horrors have reportedly surfaced online – as the mom’s lawyer claims they debunk suggestions the youngsters were “feral”.

The fresh claims come from Elizabeth Siders’ attorney, who has sought to push back against the shocking allegations made by investigators after 16 children were found living in squalid conditions inside the family’s cramped home.

Tommy Stolly claimed that the children’s online presence supposedly undermines descriptions made by authorities after the June 30 raid.

“We’ve already debunked the myth that these kids were almost feral,” Stolly told NewsNation’s Crime Time podcast.

“The ones that were of appropriate age had social media pages. There’s evidence of that online now.”

Stolly also disputed comments from Ohio Attorney General Andy Wilson, who described the children as looking “almost [like] feral animals” after officers entered the home.

The attorney claimed: “These kids could talk. They spoke when the police came in.

“If we’re talking about feral children, those are children who do not understand the world.

“If the kids can speak, I think that changes the analysis.”

Authorities have not yet responded to the lawyer’s latest claims.

Elizabeth Siders, 33, her husband Gary Siders Jr., 36, Gary Siders Sr., 73, and Katherine “Christina” Siders, 67, all face felony child endangerment charges after investigators allegedly uncovered horrific living conditions inside the Vinton County home.

Stolly also argued the case should not be compared to the infamous Turpin family abuse case in California.

“The Turpins made choices,” he said.

“They had a depiction of their family online. Those were their choices. That’s why people didn’t know what was going on in that home. It was because they portrayed this folksy family image online.”

Instead, the attorney claimed the Siders family had been living in severe poverty.

“This is very clearly a case where my client and the Siders family were living in extreme poverty,” he said.

“Sometimes … that’s what you’ve known for years and years. You don’t necessarily see how bad things have gotten.”

Asked about reports that human feces were found inside the home, Stolly said his client insisted she loved her children.

“What she’s said to me is that with 16 kids, things could get messy fast. So, I don’t know more beyond that,” he said.

Investigators stumbled upon the family home while serving a warrant for Gary Jr.’s arrest on unrelated indecency charges linked to alleged incidents in May.

Sheriff Ryan Cain said deputies had no idea they would discover 16 children living inside the small property in Hamden, Ohio.

He described the conditions as “a disgusting scene” and claimed the children appeared to be almost like “feral animals”, with some allegedly unable to speak.

“Our livestock was kept in better conditions,” Cain said.

Attorney General Wilson also condemned what officers found, calling it “pure evil.”

“It really looked third world. It’s the type of thing that we’re not used to seeing here in America,” he said.

“[It’s] almost indescribable.”

Wilson also said the children had allegedly been kept inside a cramped 12-by-12-foot room for “most of the last four years.”

“The conditions in the house were so decrepit that the children were literally about to fall through the floor,” he said.

“One of the worst environments that I’ve seen in my career.”

Court records show Elizabeth and Gary Jr. are the parents of all 16 children.

The pair married in West Virginia in March 2008 after a judge approved the union when Elizabeth, then 15, received parental consent. Gary Jr. was 18 at the time.

Their first child was born just two months later.

Elizabeth, Gary Jr. and Christina have all pleaded not guilty to 16 counts of felony child endangerment and remain held on $300,000 bond each.

Gary Sr. was released from custody and taken to hospital because of his medical condition after prosecutors raised concerns his treatment could financially burden the county.
