Overview

• State troopers arrested James Russell Kahl, 65, and Carly Kahl, 41, after serving a search warrant at their Redstone Township residence.
• Investigators say the children's bedroom had cameras hardwired to the father's room, three deadbolts on the outside, and no interior handle.
• Court records describe 'deplorable' conditions including no beds, boarded-up windows, feces on walls, fleas, and limited food and clothing.
• Troopers seized a stun gun, a replica pistol, surveillance equipment, drugs, and paraphernalia; charges include child endangerment, aggravated assault, and reckless endangerment.
• The five children, ages 5 to 14, were removed on Aug. 8 and remain in CYS care as the case proceeds, and the district attorney credited a family member for making the report.
