12 children found in home

Shorty2U — Sun, 19 Jun 2016 03:25:38 GMT

Unbelievable story out of Feasterville PA. is all over our news (as I live in PA).

They found 12 children in a home with some creepy guy.

Supposedly an AMISH couple from Lancaster, PA gave the man their 14 yr old to pay off debt when he helped them. So the creep then took advantage of her and fathered 2 children with her. So that equals 3 kids.

Then supposedly they gave him their other 9 children too! So they found 12 children ages 6 months to 18 years with this guy. (But all this is pending ID of the children, because there are no birth certificates for these children and they weren't attending school).

A neighbor lady called police after seeing the children looking sad and fearful at the windows and in the driveway wearing blue dresses. (And she saw this for years, but finally called because she kept having a bad feeling).

PS Other neighbors had asked the man before if those were his kids and he said no he lives alone.

The couple and the man are arrested and in jail and the children are in protective custody.

Oh and the couple who gave their children? Lost their farm and business anyway and were living in a rented farm in Lancaster.

This makes me sick. Its pathetic. And I pray those kids get the help they need, as well as the 18 yr old who fathered 2 kids with him starting at 14!

I wanted to discuss this earlier but was fearful of the 'oversensitive' posters who don't want to hear anything relevant in the news..

I don't get that the neighbors waited years to say something.

This is a very common occurence, if memory serves, the same went down with that awful Cleveland case too....

I am going to say that I read about this story earlier in the week and found it disturbing! It has nothing to do with being relevant in relation to the news but there are many of us who do not want to discuss topics of children being se-ually assaulted!!!!!!

Well that might be understandable but pretending it's not happening is not realistic imo....

@SydneyH You have sadly misterpreted some people's objections to some posts. I never read a post here where people "don't want to hear anything relevant in the news."

What a gross exaggeration. Sheesh.

Relevance is in the eye of the beholder, what one finds relevant, someone else doesn't. I don't want anyone telling me what's relevant or not!

Then why in the world would you click on it? The title was very clear. I'm not trying to be rude, but I just don't get it. There are a lot of topics that I don't like for one reason or another, so I just ignore them and click on the threads I do want to read. We're all different so it stands to reason that we have different interests and different sensibilities. Pick what you like and ignore the rest.

Yes it is disgusting and I should have probably put a warning in the subject area. I am sorry if I upset anyone. But it does go on. And I think we as people should be more aware of our neighbors and our surroundings to report suspicious things.

The title says 12 children found in home, this not the headline from the story that I read! The title IS NOT very clear at all! I clicked on it out of curiosity to understand what the story was about!

Youre welcome and I should have given it more thought before posting. Well perhaps the mods will delete the post.

S ex trafficking (and I this situation qualifies as that) is a major problem in the US. And it happens in neighborhoods that are typical ordinary neighborhoods. I wish the neighbors and the people who drove by this house every day thinking something was just not right had called the police when they first thought this.

The Amish couple may have thought it was OK for their daughter to have a baby at 14. With little education and not much knowledge of what goes on in the world (I think) they may have not seen a problem with it.

I hope this guy is locked up forever and cannot hurt any more girls.

@Shorty2U

you can easily go back to edit your title and put DISTURBING STORY: 12 children found in home or SAD EVENT: 12 children found in home.....that way it gives the person a heads up regarding content of the thread.

I'll admit that I didn't know the subject matter concerning the thread but it is/was not my intention of derailing your thread. I didn't appreciate the insinuation about the over sensitivity or relevance of people who did not like this thread.

I hope it can continue and I do agree that it is disgusting and perhaps help some in reading about what happened in Pennsylvania.

The title says it all. If it wasn't "clear" then I think some people need to get out of the house more often.

ETA - Maybe Shorty should have just added the entire story in the title instead of just the word "disturbing".... Some people may not know what's coming next.......

12 Chidren found in home......alone

12 Children found in home......without food.

12 Children found in home......without hear.

12 Children found in home.......with dead body.

12 Children found in home........that is condemned.

That's what a "clear" title is!
