Sixteen children aged from 0.5 to 18 years old from the same family who were rescued from a dilapidated home in rural Ohio were living in wretched conditions with human waste all around, confined to just one room over much of the past four years, authorities said Wednesday.

Authorities have arrested four adults on felony child endangerment charges after discovering 16 children in need of medical treatment in a rural Ohio home.
