The mother of the 16 children who were contained to one room in an Ohio “House of Horrors” had previously been charged for incidents involving six of her children.
Elizabeth Siders, 33, and her husband Gary Siders II were charged in the Juvenile Court Division of the Gallia County Court of Common Pleas with truancy-related offenses in 2021.
Those charges were filed on October 19, 2021 after six of their children had failed to attend a single day of school at Addaville Elementary, according to copies of juvenile court records obtained by PEOPLE.
Addaville Elementary is a pre-Kindergarten through Fifth Grade school in Gallipolis, a village approximately 150 miles east of Cincinnati.
