As for the Amish, it's time to stop idolizing these "quaint" people whose secrets are finally, thankfully, being exposed. Of course there are those who are "morally righteous" and "fiscally responsible". This past Friday night, Dateline did an amazing hour long segment on the silent epidemic among the Amish ,the rape of their children by brothers, fathers, and even Bishops. These are not isolated events. One girl, Anna, was raped by her brother for 10 years. She complained to her mother and was ignored. Her mother walked in on one rape session and punished not Anna's brother, but her.

She was taken the "Amish dentist" and strapped down while he pulled all of her teeth out. Her mother calmly told her as she bled for three days straight that,"Now you won't be talking so much". She had to put a message in a bottle in an English neighbors mailbox to get outside help. She explained how this has been going on for years within Amish families.
