Law enforcement in the United States has announced a shocking discovery: 16 children were rescued from a rural house in Ohio, where they had been kept in horrific conditions.

Ohio Attorney General Andy Wilson stated at a press conference that such scenes are rarely seen in America. He described the children as looking almost like wild animals, calling the situation terrible. Vinton County Sheriff Ryan Kane added that most livestock are kept in better conditions than these children, calling the sight disgusting.

The children were found completely by accident. Further details about the living conditions and potential charges are still being investigated.
