Gary Siders Sr., 73, was declared mentally incompetent to stand trial on 16 counts of child endangerment after authorities found 16 grandchildren living in squalid conditions in a Hamden, Ohio home. While charges against him are expected to be dismissed, legal proceedings continue against his wife, son, and daughter-in-law, who face additional charges including sexual battery. The children, ranging from 18 months to 18 years, were hospitalized and placed in state custody after years of prior investigations by child services failed to remove them from the home.
