{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"Siders Neighbors Went Years Without Seeing WHAT?! ","description":"Sixteen children were living in a house in Hamden, Ohio, and for years the people closest to that house managed not to see a single one of them. That's the part of the Siders case Tony Brueski won't let go of.\nIt starts with an accident. Deputies in Vinton County went to that address to serve a warrant on an unrelated matter — not a welfare check, not a tip about children. Ohio's Attorney General has confirmed nobody expected to find kids inside. The school district had no enrollment records for any of them. The oldest is eighteen and, according to investigators, couldn't write her own name.\nThen the neighborhood starts talking. Store employees describe years of odd details — the clothing, the hygiene, the closing-time shopping trips — all recalled with perfect clarity only after arrests made the news. A man who lived seventy feet from that house says he never once saw a child there in six years. A psychotherapist breaks down the exact mental shortcuts behind that kind of blindness, and why they're not unique to this town.\nFour adults are charged with sixteen counts each of second-degree felony child endangering. All four have entered not-guilty pleas. No indictment has come down yet.\nFrom there, Tony widens the lens: a mandated-reporter system built on duty with almost no teeth behind it, a child-welfare funding model that rewards removal over discovery, and a case out of Washington, D.C. where four girls died inside a system a federal judge had personally overseen for nineteen years.\nSixteen kids, found by luck. Ask yourself what it would've taken to find them on purpose.\nSocial Links & Legal Footer\nJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/\nWant to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
