It's hard to believe this could happen

Eleven Children Found Caged in Ohio Home

The children, aged one to fourteen and having various disabilities including autism, were in nine cages 40 inches high x 40 inches wide. All were either adopted or in foster care, meaning someone placed these children in this situation. A children's services investigator saw one of the children in a cage and then called in the sheriff, who obtained a warrant and returned to remove the children. The cages had alarms on them and in some cases were blocked by heavy furniture. One report said that Sharen and Mike Gravelle, the couple involved, told investigators a psychiatrist had told them to put the children in cages.

Thank the Gods that the children's services worker found the situation. But isn't it scary that it could get to that point? Argghhh!!! The things people do to others or to animals never cease to amaze me, and it seems like often they see nothing wrong with what they're doing. Now, that's crazy.
