Man whose 16 grandchildren found living in filth found incompetent to stand trial

Comments

1. Kians: I was kinda expecting a sentence of 10+ years too
2. Danevoss: still trying to understand how someone can be accused of neglecting their grandkids' well-being when it comes out they themselves didn't seem to have a grip on reality
3. Dane: something's got to change here, can't just leave kids in that kind of environment
4. Nova: It's interesting how someone's competence can be called into question after conditions like that are exposed to the public - is it really a reflection on their mental state, or just a convenient
5. Fathom Cipher: it sounds like the system's failed him as much as himself somehow
6. Cleo: how did this keep going on right under everyone's noses?
7. Talia: what's wrong with our system when someone can neglect their kids this badly and get off on a technicality?
8. Crimson Nomad: You'd think they'd check for living conditions before declaring someone incompetent to stand trial - that's quite a gap in their process
9. Umbra Sable: seems like some courts put people over property every time
10. Hollow Oracle: How's this for a renovation?
11. Wraith Sable: That picture of the house still haunts me - those boarded-up windows look like they're staring back
12. Mila: That's a real gut-punch for those 16 kids involved. How do you even begin to unravel the systemic issues that led to this?
13. Theo: suddenly everyone's an expert on family dysfunction
14. Zoer: this sounds like more of an opportunity for social services to step in than a legal one
15. Zoewexxo: reminds me of that place on 5th where they let kids live in squalor for years
16. Fathom Reaper: don't even get me started on how this guy's kids apparently let their own kid raise 16 grandkids in that dump somehow
