What Elizabeth Siders Did After Marrying At 15

Elizabeth Siders was fifteen when she married into the family now at the center of one of Ohio's most disturbing cases, and she's the one who gave birth to all sixteen children found inside that house. Tony Brueski, Robin, and defense attorney Eric Faddis break down why her own attorney is arguing she may be as much a casualty of this family as anyone. 
Faddis, a former prosecutor, lays out what that argument does to the sixteen felony counts she's facing and whether the law even has room for a defendant who might also be someone this system failed for eighteen years. It's a legal question with no clean answer, and it's about to shape everything that happens next in this case. 
The rest of the case isn't any cleaner. A Vinton County judge has silenced the Attorney General's office, the sheriff, and the prosecutor with a gag order requested by the man whose indecent exposure warrant is the reason deputies found those sixteen children at all. Five years before that, Gallia County Juvenile Court filed six truancy complaints on this family, documented that six children had missed a full year of school, and then closed every case when nobody could locate them. No one escalated it. No one called children's services. 
Gary Siders Senior, seventy-three, faces sixteen felony counts himself and walked free on a recognizance bond after his attorney filed five competency motions. Ohio has already approved a million dollars in emergency funding to cover the fallout in one county alone, and officials who walked through that property have compared what they found to conditions no one would accept for livestock. 
We go through the charges, the gag order, and exactly where this system stopped paying attention.
