- Jonathan Parr, 37, and Jacqueline Coleman, 32, have been arrested in Ohio and charged with third-degree felony child endangerment after authorities rescued nine children from horrific living conditions.
- Investigators said that the children, aged between one and 13, were allegedly locked in cages, denied food and water, and subjected to severe physical abuse including being forced to stand against walls all day.
- Police reported severe bug infestations and inadequate sleeping arrangements at the Etna Township property, with at least four children living inside a nearby shed on the land.
- All nine children were removed from the property and placed into the custody of Child Protective Services following a referral from a local school district.
- The couple are currently being held on a $150,000 bond at the Licking County Justice Center, though Parr has denied all the allegations in court.
