Sounds more like they were being kept safe in bed at night rather than risk them slipping outside or turning on the stove while the parents slept.

There are other ways to do that - one would be to not adopt 11 kids so that you feel you have to stack them in cages.

Child care centers with limited floor space routinely purchase wall cribs, two high. They look like cages but are twin bed size. Perhaps this is what the social worker and the officers saw.

Agreed. It sounds very much like that.
