WAKEMAN, Ohio (AP) - Sheriff's deputies found 11 children locked in cages less than 31/2 feet high inside a home, but a couple denied having abused or neglected the children.
A judge on Monday put the children - who range in age from 1 to 14 and who have various disabilities, including autism - in foster homes.
The children were found in nine cages built into the walls of the house near Wakeman, a small northern Ohio city about 50 miles west of Cleveland, according to the Huron County Sheriff's Office. They had no blankets or pillows, and the cages were rigged with alarms that sounded if opened, Lt. Randy Sommers said.
The children told authorities that they slept in the cages - 40 inches high and 40 inches deep - at night.
Sharen and Mike Gravelle are adoptive or foster parents for all 11 children, officials said. Prosecutors were reviewing the case.
