The Misery Machine

This week, Drewby and Yergy discuss the Siders, a family who are at the center of a major ongoing criminal investigation following the rescue of 16 severely neglected children from a home in Hamden, Ohio, on June 30th, 2026. Law enforcement officers discovered the children completely by chance while executing a search warrant for a parallel, unrelated investigation. Inside the small, dilapidated home, authorities found 16 siblings, ranging in age from 18 months to 18 years old, confined to a single 12-by-12-foot room.

This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Flint Township, Michigan, to discuss the case of 7-year-old Casper O'Brien, a little boy who died in November of 2025 from extreme medical neglect. At the time of his death, Casper was 4 feet 2 inches tall, and weighed 220lbs, which was nearly 4 times the healthy average for his age. The Genesee County Medical Examiner ruled that Casper died from dilated cardiomyopathy, with extreme morbid obesity serving as a major contributing factor. First responders described the family's residence as a severe, "deplorable" hoarding environment with piles of trash and animal feces scattered throughout the home.
