Amish & foster care

[Hamilton02 at aol.com]

The Amish in Pennsylvania regularly deal with the outside world through  
selling their many (often popular) products, watching television in neighbor's  
homes, and simply mingling with others in the community.  I think it  unlikely 
that he would have less understanding than a typical parent.  So I  guess the 
question would be whether an average citizen would have understood  that the 
immediate next step in response to that statement (which plenty of  nonreligious 
parents say all the time) is state custody.

tend  to agree with Eugene’s post. My only concern would be whether the 
interaction  between the father and son and state police or welfare authorities was 
 adequate – so that it was clear to the father what it meant to say that he  
would take his son back when the boy was ready to follow the  rules.
