Official: Abuse Of 6 Kids Reported Months Before Rescue Children Allegedly Locked In Closet, Fed Animal Feces

POSTED: 7:51 a.m. EDT May 1, 2003

AKRON, Ohio -- A mother and her life partner allegedly subjected six children in their care to abuses that shocked officials.

NewsChannel5's Brad Harvey reported that Akron police are still interviewing the kids involved, but charges against the women may be pending.

Officials said the kids were regularly starved, beaten and locked up. Three of them were kept prisoner in a closet for the last 2˝ months, let out only once a day for meager scraps of food. They were punished even to the point of eating dog and cat feces as well as vomit, which caused them to become ill.

Neighbors saw the kids rarely, then not at all.

"But then, all of a sudden, we didn't hear nothing from them," neighbor Pam Woodward said. "And, like, this past winter has been worse, where the house stayed dark all the time."

The children claimed that, at one point, the women nailed down the windows to keep them from getting out. Somehow, though, the boys pried nails, climbed out onto the porch and ran away.

Police found the emaciated and severely malnourished boys wandering the streets barefoot.

"It's one of the worst neglectful cases we've seen in a very long time," said Joseph White Jr., director of Children's Services.

White said there's no question something went horribly wrong here, inside the house and with the system itself.

Although reports of abuse surfaced in November, no one visited the home until after the first of the year, and even then, no investigation was opened.

"I have major concerns," White said. "We're required to investigate cases of abuse within 24 to 72 hours. To have this large a gap, I can't explain it. I don't know how it happened, and I want to find out."

The kids are between the ages of 6 and 14. One was 8 years old and weighed only 28 pounds.

Odd, you would think the closet to be the last place a gay couple would lock their kids.

What's this world coming to?

Does it now say that one of the lesbians was the mother of the kids?

EDIT: 'In their care' implies that she wasn't the mother of all the kids, at least.

Most of us are lucky to only have one psycho mom. Two of 'em must be a real hoot.

Mom 1:"I'm going to lock them in the basement and feed them dog shit."

Mom 2: "The fuck you are, we're gonna lock them in the closet and feed them cat shit. I'll be damned if I'm going up and down those stairs to feed them and we're NOT getting a dog. We already have a cat with handy shit in the litter box."

Mom 1: "Ok, the closet makes sense, but we've got that dog shit in the front yard, there's no sense letting that go to waste."

And how did their alleged lesbianism effect the situation?

This is a blow to the gay right/gays with kids argument.

There used to be a day when news like this wouldn't have bothered me, but as a father, I find myself getting strangely empathetic to children when they are abused.

HANG THE LESBIAN TWATS!

I have an ex-girlfriend from akron and she is pretty messed up.

For just a taste of how screwed she is, she named her kid Rave. Not for any other reason than she is a drugged rave junkie.

edit: I missed my point...people in Akron are generally fucked up.

I hate it when people mistake Ohio for Idaho. Really, I've told people I was from Idaho and they ask me if I've ever been to Cleavland. Fucking ingrates.
