Ok, obviously there are some people who do horrible things to adopted children and get away with it for far too long. However, we don't really have enough information right now to specify what abuses took place.
For example, a 3x3x6 foot space would be a quite spacious sleeping area. No blankets or pillows might only be the case until nightfall; I can see the sense in having them cleaned or otherwise put away during the day. The "cages" are actually probably a pretty good idea. *GASP* I know, I know... but they are painted primary colors not just some crate stuck in a shed. If you have 11 mentally handicapped children sleeping in the same room and you give them a bedtime... good grief I don't see that working at all! Certainly a system by which you can assure that if they leave their own area you are alerted is good, otherwise you would have children wandering around all the time.
I don't want to sound like I am defending those who really do abuse children but I think it is a little sensationalist for the article to start of about how the children were "kept in cages!!1!one!" and then later on admit that they were painted pastel and apparently had no locking devices at all.
