Judge: No relatives to care for children found in Texas barn
The judge ruled Wednesday that no suitable relatives could be found to care for the children, who range in age from 1 to 5 years old.
Investigators say the children were hungry and thirsty when found Feb. 12 on a property near Rhome, about 20 miles north of Fort Worth. Wise County Sheriff Lane Akin says it was the worst case of child abuse he'd seen in his 44-year career. The children's mother, 24-year-old Paige Harkings, is jailed on child endangerment charges. Jail records don't indicate whether she has an attorney.
