are those really the most serious charges they could throw at them?

I believe that this is Angel Holland's Facebook page. I can't help but notice how overweight she is. It is so totally unacceptable to abuse children like this. How hard is it to feed children? I am familiar with Cincinnati, and there are churches that offer free food and food banks throughout the city. They probably also get food stamps for the kids. Very tragic. I hope that the kids, especially the 9-year-old survives.

LOTS of pics of (I assume) an older daughter on AH's FB but not even a mention of the other three kids.
From the article, it sounds like the three abused kids are siblings and AH has been the "custodian" of the 9 y/o since 2020. It makes me wonder what her relationship to the kids is and WHY they were in her custody.

They found “multiple items of evidentiary value, including bungee cords, a belt, and soiled towels observed inside a vehicle registered to Ms. Holland,” according to the affidavit.

Ronald Sanders says that the children, whom he says are his grandchildren, are still at the hospital after they reportedly suffered from child abuse.

Sanders explains that he has not seen the 9-year-old in person since being hospitalized.

“I have seen a picture of him and it was literally the most horrific, disturbing thing I have ever seen in my life,” Sanders said.

“I just can’t understand how somebody can be so evil and you’re family. I don’t understand that. If you didn’t want them give them to somebody else. Let somebody else take care of them,” Sanders said.

I know I just wish these kinds of crimes could be upgraded to attempted murder cause that's exactly what they did.

I agree. I hope that poor child will survive. Thirty pounds at nine years old????????? I just don't understand how people can be so cruel to innocent children.

It seems like the abuse/neglect of the other children was intentional. Did she just take in the other three for money? I just watched a Tamra Hall episode where the mother and father took in foster kids as their primary source of income. They ended up killing the special needs child in their care. It was a very sad story. I'm afraid that this type of situation happens more than we would like to believe. The innocent children...It is so sad.

And per the link, he had a core body temp of 80 F when he was taken to the hospital. The odds are not in his favor. I wish I could wrap him up in a big, soft blanket and let him know that he is loved.
