WAKEMAN, Ohio - Sheriff's deputies found 11 children locked in cages with alarms in a north Ohio home, and prosecutors are looking into possible charges of abuse and neglect.

The children, ages 1 to 14, were in nine cages in the walls of a house outside this city of about 1,000 about 50 miles west of Cleveland, according to the Huron County Sheriff's Office. They had no blankets or pillows, and the cages were rigged with alarms that sounded if the cages were opened, Lt. Randy Sommers said.

The children told authorities they slept in the 40-inches-high by 40 inches-deep cages at night. Doors to some of the cages were blocked with heavy furniture.

Auction off the right to shoot these 2 in the head on EBAY and donate the cash. I'd bid on it.

I realize we don't know all the particulars about this story, but my knee-jerk reaction is to beat the ever loving dog snot out of these "parents".

No more particulars necessary...let the beatings begin!

"possible charges of abuse and neglect..."

Incredible statement..Is this like "the alleged killer" in a murder that was caught on tape with 5 eyewitnesses?

"County Prosecutor Russell Leffler said the children had various disabilities, including autism."

Any studies on 'cage induced autism'?

And yes, if there is Justice in this world. . .or the next; these folks will have to pay.

And for those farther down the 'chain of events'. . .Ohio is a Demrat state, right?

I have no problem discerning the mearning. She means that when there is a crime committed within a family unit, the press makes an effort to emphasize homeschooling if the family involved was homeschooling as if homeschooling families are weird and dangerous. Many examples of such coverage have been posted on FR. The press makes no mention when crimes occur within families that send their kids to public school, however. That's what the poster was referring to. The issue of press bias against homeschooling as exhibited in such news stories has been discussed on FR several times in the past.

No Ohio is Republican, and Wakeman is in a more conservative area too.

"No Ohio is Republican, and Wakeman is in a more conservative area too."

Then they moved from Pennsylvania or Michigan; or they are deep soil, early Demrat natives. . .I know they woulda/coulda voted for Algore for President (!)

Just put the "parents" in open pop when they go to jail. The convicts will know what to do.

Why do I get the disturbing thought that these will be classified as "homeschooled" children?

Don't worry I got your point.

Ah no, why? You think only crimes like this happen in Democratic states? Come on.

In any event, I think Charlie Manson is from Ohio too.

I hardly think foster children would be allowed to be home schooled.

we were allowed to homeschool our son while he was our foster child... we ended up adopting him... according to our social worker, he had other families who also homeschooled...

"On their coffee table... "The Compleat Works Of Edgar Allen Poe."

my boys (4 and 9) love Edgar Allen Poe... the 4-year old even named his toy black raven Edgar Allen Poe... when he sees blackbirds he says, "look, Mommy... there's Edgar Allen Poe."

Kudos to you for introducing great literature to your young children. ;^). . .

And kudos to your children for being duly impressed. . .
