Ohio Grandfather Gary Siders Sr. Found Mentally Incompetent to Stand Trial in Child Neglect Case

Ohio Grandfather Gary Siders Sr. Found Mentally Incompetent to Stand Trial in Child Neglect Case

Gary Siders Sr., a 73-year-old grandfather from rural southern Ohio, has been found mentally incompetent to stand trial. This ruling comes after 16 of his grandchildren were discovered living in squalid conditions at his home. A judge in Vinton County accepted the findings of an evaluation report, and Vinton County Prosecutor William Archer did not object. Siders Sr. appeared in court in a wheelchair, and his attorney, Dorian Baum, stated that Siders' mental health has been declining for years and is 'not restorable.' Siders Sr. was charged with 16 counts of child endangerment following the rescue of the children on June 30 from a home in Hamden, approximately 80 miles south of Columbus. Investigators reported that the children, ranging in age from 18 months to 18 years, were mostly confined to a small room under deplorable conditions, with some described as 'feral' and unable to speak.
