Siblings accused of locking 9 children under beds get bond reduced as attorney says ‘there’s levels of culpability in this case’

Two adult siblings charged in a shocking child abuse case involving nine children have received reduced bond amounts during court hearings in Columbia County, Florida. Dallin and Liberty Griffeth appeared before Judge Garrett Hill on Wednesday as their cases move toward trial in October.

The case came to light after authorities discovered disturbing abuse at the family home in Fort White, Florida. Nine children, ranging in age from 7 to 16, reported being subjected to extreme punishments including being caged under bunk beds with plywood screwed over the entrances. The children also alleged being sprayed with vinegar in their faces as punishment and being forced to lie on floors while having plywood pressed onto their bodies, causing splinters and injuries.
