EXACTLY

I TRULY BELIEVE THE AMISH PEOPLE DO NOT SEE THE ERROR IN THEIR WAYS
AND WHEN A TRAGETY LIKE THIS BEFALLS THEM
IT IS RIGHT AWAY INTERPRETED AS AN "ACT OF GOD"
COME ON, SOUND LIKE A COP OUT TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You have the right to be silent?

With all this discussion, how does everyone know for sure, that the operattor of the forklift isn't going to be convicted of neglience?

i dought it, not because he's amish but for the fact that he's a juvenile even though it was negligent
it was still an accidental death
and thats what they will rule it an accident

Im late posting on this thread but I have to agree w/what many posters are saying. It does seem many Amish take the 'reasoning' of 'God's will' to an extreme. I see small Amish children playing on and close to the road w/no adult in sight. (as young looking as 2 yrs old.) I would freak out if my grandson were that close to the road with or without other children.

I've had an Amish neighbor when we lst move here ask for a ride to the hospitol & I didn't know for sure where it was. His son's fingers were crushed by a wagon & there was blood all over. I said he should call an ambulance and he refused! The boy never did regain the use of one of his fingers. I cannot believe he was pinching pennies, worried about the cost of an ambulance ...and I wonder why they don't vet their cats? O_O
