People stepping up to support Amish child abuse victims

January 25, 2020

LANCASTER, PA — When Miriam Esh learned of a devastating case of child sexual abuse emerging last year in a Lancaster County Amish community, she traveled here from her Lewisburg, Pa., home to offer support to the victims.

As someone who also experienced abuse growing up Amish, she had a concise message for the girls: “I’m coming as a survivor, and I want you to know there’s hope, and there are people who will stand by you.”

It’s that hope that sustains those advocating for victims in Amish, Mennonite and related “Plain” Anabaptist communities.
