The Duncans allegedly tortured the children in calculated and prolonged ways. This included physical punishment, depriving them of food and water and heat and bathroom privileges, and trying to cover up their crimes. Each child provided statements which also illustrated the disturbing experience of watching S. Duncan and R. Duncan physically attack his or her siblings, according to a news release from the district attorney s office. Even minor misbehaviors, such as taking too long to consume water or complete a chore, resulted in horrific, violent abuse.
On Jan. 15, the Lebanon County Children and Youth Agency obtained a court order granting the agency custody of the children, who were then removed from the Duncan s home.

Lebanon County Commissioners hired a new warden for the county prison on Thursday by a 2-0 vote with one member abstaining due to familial relations.
Commissioner Jo Ellen Litz voted to abstain because Tina Litz is her husband’s cousin. Commissioners Robert Phillips and William Ames voted to hire Tina, who is being promoted from within, at an annual salary of $85,000.
All three commissioners cited her as the “best qualified candidate” from the pool of 14 applicants who applied for the job.

“We had a very good pool of candidates and especially so with the internal pool at the jail, so we’re proud of that,” said Phillips. “But we’re very happy with the selection of Tina and she’ll have the whole support of the commissioners and the staff as she moves into that position.”
