Despite Their Religious Devotion, the Amish Can Be as Cruel as the Rest of Us

"Near where I live there was a case several years ago where an Amish woman was sexually abusing kids. Boy, was that ever hushed up fast. They "take care of their own." I'm sorry, but if you molest a kid you need you have your ass handed over to the law.
"Another story: My in-laws have a dog rescued from an Amish guy. This dog was tied to a chain on a concrete slab and not only was he half-dead from starvation, the guy's kids were beating the shit out of him. If my husband's uncle, who was the breeder, had not gone by to see how the dog was, he would have died a horrible death.
"Luckily, he took one look, grabbed the dog and took him away to a loving home while the asshole was yelling at him.
"Never ever believe that the Amish are any better than the rest of us just because they don't use technology. You'll find the same monsters among them as you do in the "secular" world."
Sadly I'm pretty sure the Amish do a lot more horrid things and get away with it because like you said "they take care of their own"

Posted 07/23/2010 at 01:34:12 PMThere is a interesting article that was published in a Lancaster paper that I read that talks about all sorts of abuse amongst the Amish. Most are silenced by the shame and their own families - though often is it their family doing the abusing.
This link tells a horrible story about an Amish woman who was abused for years by her own family.

Posted 07/25/2010 at 07:45:31 AMAmish are a joke.........just a scam to not pay taxes.Any of the ones with money have a mobile home next to their shack they live in that is modern,
They will say they rent it out.........lol.They use the phone,'fridge,freezer,washer,dryer,TV in their "rental" home.
They have property close to mine in Central Pa.Won't let anyone hunt on theirs but constantly sneak over on mine to hunt.
I run them out when I catch them,tear down tree stands they build on my property and clean up the garbage from where ever they ate lunch and scattered wrappers.
I used to buy 150 trout every year for a small pond on my property for local kids to catch......even had a sign up 16 and under only then caught 3 adult male Amish with 27 trout in a bag fishing there.I had done this for years but can not any longer.Within a couple days they have caught them all and there are none left for the kids.
I can not watch my property 24/7 and they know that.
Posted 07/25/2010 at 08:30:00 AMSimply put Amish are scum.
Yea we have several amish colonies here in Montana and like people are saying they are scum who break the law and get away with shit, well anyways the amish here go into local stores and steal, they send 5 or 10 people into the store and stick what ever they can find in their pockets and walk out, theres stores here that have rules that can only have 2 - 3 Amish people walking around at a time so the store owners / employees can try to keep tabs on them to make sure they arnt stealing.

Posted 07/26/2010 at 04:05:48 AMHad no idea my comment would get its own post, wow. I'd just like to add that I'm not trying to insinuate that all Amish people are bad or anything, it's just that we tend to see them as some kind of elevated, super perfect group of people, when they're really not all that different than anyone else. Some people would go as far as to say that they qualify as a cult and actually...I think they do fit the criteria. There's a lot of potential for bad stuff going on when people decide to isolate themselves like that.
