Ohio Home Neglect Mirrors Turpin Case Fears of Unregulated Homeschooling
Authorities in rural Ohio discovered sixteen children living in deplorable conditions within a dilapidated home. The children, ranging from 1 1/2 to 18 years old, were reportedly confined to a single room for years, with some exhibiting severe developmental issues and inability to speak. The parents and two grandparents have been charged with felony child endangerment, and officials described the scene as “disgusting” and the children appearing “like almost feral animals.”
