UNFORGIVEABLE & OUTRAGEOUS
Eleven Children Found Caged in Ohio Home 1 hour,
1 hour, 6 minutes ago
Sheriff's deputies found 11 children locked in cages rigged with alarms Monday in a north Ohio home.
The children, ages 1 to 14, were in cages in the walls of the home in Clarksfield Township, about 50 miles west of Cleveland. They had no blankets or pillows, according to the Huron County Sheriff's Office.
The children were taken to Fisher-Titus Medical Center. No information on their conditions was available late Monday.
Sharon and Mike Gravelle are adoptive or foster parents for all 11 children, officials said.
The Gravelles do not have a listed telephone number.
Few additional details were available late Monday. Prosecutors were reviewing the case, but no charges had yet been filed.
*****************************
I found this story on the net Sept.12. For me this kind of story is always mentally devestating. I can understand bad people being able to pass a background check and being able to adopt a child. I really can, after all if they've never been caught in the past, there's nothing to find. But what I never have been able to comprehend is how after obtaining a child or in this case many children, how in the world do they get away with the abuse. Why were they not found out soon after they got the children.
Where are the adoptive authorities when all of this is going on?
Where are all of those follow up visits that they are suppose to make??
How do monsters like this get away with this kind of abuse???
Are they monsters -- or could this be a mistake???
**************************
Well it seems today there is more to this story, This is how they got away with it:
It seems they had adopted a baby long ago with HIV. and had good reports, Ya right, the baby couldn't talk.
The Gravelles have said a psychiatrist recommended they make the children sleep in the cages, Huron County Prosecutor Russell Leffler told the Norwalk Reflector. The parents also said the children, including some who had mental disorders, needed to be protected from each other, according to court documents.
And the biggest blunder of them all:
The Gravelles received a subsidy from the state of at least $500 a month to care for the children.
"There's no follow up because you're giving that family the money so they can incorporate that child into their life," she said." (does that make any sense to you???)
By the way this has been on the news as I am finishing this post , I hear the them saying that the children have developed worse disorders because of the way they were treated.
Is anyone out there old enough to remember that very famous case, of this very intelligent famous couple, they were some sort of scholars or something, I think it was in New York, who adopted a little girl and tortured her for years. No one suspected until they finally got carried away and blugeoned her to death. IF you do refesh my memory. That was a horrible case.
I feel sorry for all of those couples who can't have children and have tried to adopt and have been unable to or not allowed to for what ever the reason. You know the kind of couples I mean -- The ones that would take good care of a child, love and spoil them.

That infuriates me to no end.
Really terrible, poor kids, I imagine they would develope some kind of terrible disorders from such inhumane treatment!
Me Too!! That makes three of us.
i hope to God that those foster "parents" will end up (like chris said) in cages. i hope fellow prisoners take no mercy on them.
it's just sick!! i can't believe this happens. makes me so angry.
This story reminds me of the woman that that was mentally ill and locked in an outhouse for 25 years! It was in the news about a week ago. Apparently the family couldn't deal with her "craziness" as a child and she was tearing up her room (whatever that means). So they decided to cast her off in a sense. They put her in an outhouse with flooring that wasn't even all there. That is where she stayed until she was found in her 40s!
Now you think the woman had mental problems before, think how messed up she is now! They did say that she was feed regularly and given water - oh, how kind. She was sent to the hospital for further examination and to determine her mental state at this date. Some people's level of cruelty to others I can barely comprehend.
Diamondkt,
I read that too, But after they took her to the hospital and examined, they said she appeared to be perfectly normal mentally. And was responding to everything correctly.
Makes you wonder what dear old Dad was trying to cover up by hiding her doesn't it.
Thats so awful in so many ways. At least this was uncovered before worse happened to the children.
I saw the news on the net and i was dumbfounded ..... I just cant imagine any human being could do this....
There is a saying "Man is the cruelest animal."
I can believe that Avik.
THis is ridiculous and makes me soooo angry!!!
