damn it

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.

Sharen and Mike Gravelle are adoptive or foster parents for all 11 children, officials said. Prosecutors are reviewing the case, but no charges had been filed as of Monday night.

A children's services investigator saw one of the children in a cage Friday, Sommers said. The sheriff's office obtained a warrant and returned to the house around 5 that evening and removed the children.

The Gravelles do not have a listed telephone number.

A woman who identified herself as Sharen Gravelle's mother but would not give her name said the reports about her daughter were not true. She said the children were happy in their new home.

"This year they have played and had fun and laughed like no other children have, which they have never been able to do," she said.

At a hearing Monday, a judge placed the children in the custody of the Department of Job and Family Services, where officials placed them in four foster homes, said Huron County Juvenile Court Administrator Chris Mushett.

Appearing with a lawyer at the hearing, the Gravelles denied they had abused or neglected the children.

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

people like them piss me off, how can you do that to another human let alone children and a 1 year old?

[*jooleeah*]

Oh my god, that's terrible.

At least they're safe now.

[*RiC3xBoy*]

Wait wait, was there proof that the adopted parents put the kids in the cage?

[Hiphop d[-_-]b]

Thats Horrible !
How could you do that to a child ?

Then again, maybe the cages were the new rage amongst foster parents.

[lovescream]

=O Well, that's just a bad thing. They getting coal for Christmas. But iunno.. they could be telling the truth of not putting them in cages. XD Who knows? Pft. Oh well.

KIDS ARE THE FUTURE.

[Heewee]

That is soooo disgusting. What especially makes me mad is that those so-called "parents" volunteered to take those children in by adopting them and being foster parents. They're supposed to give them a better life than they had before and they put them in cages?!

[*suddenly she*]

WTF.
they need to be shot and left in a pit.

Wait wait, was there proof that the adopted parents put the kids in the cage?

[*stephinika*]

wow, thats just horrible! i can't believe people would do that.

[*RiC3xBoy*]

There was no proof that the parent forced the child in there. A neighbor or friend could have done so.

[*lolita kitty*]

those poor kids. what kind of parents... =O

[whomps]

Dude.. that's so.. wow. Foster parents are suppose to bring a better life to kids. 40x40" cage ? What the shit.

[yukichan]

Wow..Thats horrible..Well its good someone found out and removed the children..

[EXPLO5ION]

That is just... horrible. I don't really know what else to say..

[Chii]

There was no proof that the parent forced the child in there. A neighbor or friend could have done so.

how would a neighbor/friend going into their house, place 40x40 cages in there, rig them with alarms, and block them with furniture without the foster parents noticing?

[Miss Criss]

Things like this makes me wish crucifiction was in style. ;)

[misoshiru]

that's HORRIBLE. 40x40" cages...and the oldest being 14?! this is why i am utterly ashamed of being human. i hope they die.

[*incoherent*]

40x40?
that's tiny if you think about a human in it.

thats really weird that someone actually has a mind to do that. i hope they get stuck into a small prison cell for 547 years.

[*mzkandi*]

Poor kids
