A Vinton County judge orders competency evaluations for two more defendants in child endangerment caseATHENS, Ohio (WOUB) – A Vinton County judge has ordered mental competency evaluations for two more family members accused of keeping 16 children in conditions authorities say were worse than livestock. This leaves Elizabeth Siders, the children’s mother, as the only defendant in the case who has not, as of yet, requested a competency evaluation. Judge Liana Featherolf Rogers denied that request Wednesday, and soon after Siders Jr.’s attorney filed the request for an evaluation. Authorities found the children while at the house to arrest Siders Jr. on four counts of public indecency. Archer noted, however, the state does not oppose sealing the results of the competency evaluation or any attached sensitive mental health documentation.
