Apart from the sensationalism of the news story, I don't see sleeping arrangements being anything to get worked up about. They may well have had pillows and blankets, there were 11 children and 9 'cages' does that mean that the two eldest children slept in a bed? We don't know because the sensationalism of the story would be lost if that were the case.
Yes 11 children is enough for anyone to look after, and I might have some views over how sensible it is for two private individuals running what would appear to be a back-door, unregulated and state funded orphanage - but the cages I can't comment on because they've evidently been exaggerated by the distorted lens of the media.
For example, I remember my baby brother being put to bed in a cot (a bed with rails to stop him falling out at night), he used to play in a play pen - again, basically a cage. We used to have a gate at the top and bottom of the stairs to stop him being able to fall down the stairs. Cripes, we even had the child-lock switches set to lock on the back-doors of the car so that he couldn't accidentally fall out as we were driving along.
Since we kept him in such blatant captivity, should he have been taken off and put into a foster home?
