This Week on True Crime Daily The Podcast: In an exclusive story of survival, a pregnant Amish woman escapes an abusive husband and saves her seven children, but she’s shunned by the church and her community turns against her, siding with her abuser. Plus, in another case, three Amish bishops are convicted of intimidation after trying to force an abused Amish wife to take back her alleged attacker in the name of God.
Luis Bolaños joins host Ana Garcia.

I want to send my love to Elizabeth. I used to work in a shelter for women and children. God would never abandon you, and your story has touched my heart. I'll keep you in my prayers Elizabeth. You are wise, strong, and wonderful. I wish you all the wonderful things, and all the happiness this world has to give.
It doesn't sound like he got got in prison…. 🙁
Those six points sound just like our political system
The Amish system isn’t that much different then the democracy we’ve become over the past 100 years
I am so glad that u stood up for your self u are a very strong woman
Guide to avoid prison US:
1. Be an Amish
Amen ma'am Jesus came to set you free from bondage abuse Nd oppression @ a Tym you needed peace being pregnant Nd trust the Lord for your own farm Nd you can always use the horse Nd buggy as a business in the city I'm sure Jesus would say well done my princess my good Nd faithfull servant
Amazing story
She needs to write a book
You have great presentation!
knowing her prior to leaving the amish, she has grown so much, she had so much support from my family and our friends and we are so thankful she got out
And ill say this once again, religion is the problem.
Must be a democrat
Maybe 1 day human species will have sanity, and quit with the cloud daddy bullshit beliefs.
What’s so special about Amish that the police don’t prosecute? Perverts.. people should shun their woodwork it sux, there’s a big family where I live and their creepy and I’d bet creepy stuff is happening.. Ohio is full of them.. cults allowed by government and protected.. Amish mafia lol..
At 1hr20mins in, this is why the Amish & courts remain separated as the Amish aren’t corrupt like the US justice system is, & it truly is.
Glad this lady had the courage to leave. I am raised in a strong religious community but taught to think and act with agency and not be subject to giving our agency to someone else. So thankful. We are seeing this same intimidation of those in political parties. I have been watching videos of #walk away where some have been subject to cult like behaviors.
This sort of think happens often.
Thank you for using ur voice to speak up. Other women will look at you and be strong enough to stand up for themselves. Good for you.
Strong woman …
He is there he will never fail you or leave you. So happy for you
This is just the tip of an iceberg. Not only is there still women and children being physically abused, but imagine the emotional and mental abuse going on that never gets spoken of…May God Bless her, those kids, and all the women and children who’ve yet to be saved.
Am I able to talk to this lady? I am in a similar situation 🙈
I was eastern mennonite there is as much abuse in this group as any ive been out for a few years but I applaud you'll for exposing the abuse
Awesome show, there must be consequences. There should not be different laws for these "cults"@
Elizabeth, I believe YOU are the reason where you are now. You believed in yourself. If you had not believe in yourself your god would not have helped.
This is one strong woman, thank you for sharing your story, and for showing your boys how to treat a woman‼️ Kudos to you and your little boys
Narcissists are so, so charming in the beginning!!
This is not just going on in that Amish communities
I am sending out my thoughts and prayers and love to her and all of her children 😢💔
Brave, smart, incredible Christian! Jesus does not want you in this kind of relationship. No woman deserves this kind of life. I grew up in a family where my father constantly beat up my mother. He didn’t hit us kids but he did beat my mother. It affected us children the rest of our lives. You got your boys out into a happy Christian home. That’s what Christ wants for you! God bless you and your family! Prayers! 🙏❤️
The Church also paid for his attorneys??? If Amish have such strict laws why do they support the wrong-doer in his evil actions and punish the victim?? Is it because he is a male?
About the three bishops – I would be surprised if these three men had never coerced or harmed their own wives and/or their children to get their way. I would be surprised if they didn't hide multiple incidents of abuse, including sexual abuse. They were desperate to hold on to their power and keep the wraps on endemic practices. There needs to be deep investigations, and the closed nature of the Amish opened to standards of education and modern morals. It isn't okay to 'just forgive' and thus forget.
Just wondering, how does the new ruling of scotus and immunity for dJt will work out on those communities. If not all are equal before the law, why would these sect's obide. Just curious.
Bravo for this sweet lady!! ❤
God bless this woman and her children🙏
What a brave and kind soul. I pray for her and her children.
I was raised Amish and my dad was abusive. My parents spent 6 months at one of these facilities and all they did was tell her to be more submissive and give him more s*x. They've been separated for years now and my mom is such a different person. Bless you for sharing your story and for doing the right thing for your kids. I know it takes strength to do that.
Anna only cares about women
Dont tell crime watch that men or boys are or can be victims they dont care its all about the women 🙄
Check out the 2×2’s Cult.. I’m a survivor of it.
So proud of Elizabeth!!!
I use to think being Amish was a cool thing. Love their sense of family, community, walking their beliefs. But I never knew of the ugliness. I should have known. Where there's humans, there is sin.
💔. Thankful that the women who supported you gave you the courage to stand up for yourself and escape.
I’m so glad that girl got out and she is one of the strongest woman I’ve ever seen!!!
So many blessings and inspiration. She is full of light and joy. God is smiling on her.
What an amazing person. She found the courage to leave this vile personGod was guiding her. He will get what he deserves in prison. Education is the key.
they think they are God
She should open a "GO FUND ME", she will get thousands of $$$$ to help her!!! The LORD is already blessing her and boys!!! AMEN to her!
GOD is """ALWAYS""" there when you need HIM!!! ALWAYS!!! I have always thought of the Amish as being a Cult against the LORD!!! They made up their own laws and forgot the LORDS mandates!!!!
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
