We don't have a lot of Amish where I am so forgive me for how very ignorant this is going to sound. How are the English generally seen? Are the English seen more as generally well-meaning people who believe kind of silly things and will hopefully get a clue one day, or is it more of an "ew, English unbelievers" kind of thing, or somewhere in between? I'm trying to get a picture in my head of how likely she might be to go to the English for help should she need it, or to take it if it were offered to her.
Posts are not permitted from FB, nothing hearsay. Check in the upper right of your screen for the alert button, they usually do explain why.I’m not sure why my post was removed, but I posted screenshots about possible abductions/ suspicious vans in the area. This was all from Facebook. I don’t know it’s 100% true but I live in the area and it’s important to take extra precaution now. If I violated anything please let me know before removing my post.

I live local, it’s alarming information.It's just against the rules to post stuff from Facebook, especially if you're not even sure it's true. Now you know.
I get it, you probably know more then us, it's to deter rumors here. Honestly, I'm grateful for that ( although I have posted my own a few times) it keeps facts straight. Don't take it personal. If you share your own opinion, just put IMO ( in my opinion) after your post, but you can't bring other peoples opinions here.I live local, it’s alarming information.

Erin, most of my neighbors are Amish and they often come for help with both little things and big. I drove one lady to a midwife during an ice storm, but I’ve also had Amish ladies come by to get herbs I grow, or just to visit. They also have visited me after I had an illness, and the schoolchildren come around on a big wagon before Christmas to sing. There’s a lot more interaction than you’d think. I think she’d definitely go to an English person if she’d needed helpWe don't have a lot of Amish where I am so forgive me for how very ignorant this is going to sound.

Thanks, this is very helpful!
This is pretty local to me and I teach at a small Mennonite school in Lancaster County. The communities (both the English and the Amish) get along very well from what I’ve seen and heard. As for the area being touristy, it definitely is- however with the Covid 19 precautions, tourism is definitely NOT where it would be during the summer. The Lancaster County/Hershey area draw HUGE numbers of people, but Hersheypark isn’t even open and Lancaster County is still in the “yellow” phase of reopening until Friday so many of the outlet stores are closed as well. So while I’m sure there are some tourists in the area, due to the circumstances there are far fewer than would normally be seen.
