Ohio mom arrested for having 16 kids in 'evil' living conditions wants to be reunited with children: lawyer

An Ohio mother of 16 children facing sweeping charges of child abuse requested through her lawyer to be reunited with her kids during the trial this week.

Elizabeth Siders, 33, is charged with 16 counts of second-degree child endangerment alongside her husband, Gary Siders, Jr., and his two senior parents. The mother is being detained on $300,000 bond, but her attorney, J. Thomas Stolly, has requested that she be allowed to leave the jail under certain conditions, pointing to her lack of criminal history.
