GUILTY PA - 12 girls found in home of man charged w/sex assault, Bucks County, 16 June 2016

They should because that is exactly what it is. Sold their daughter for sex.

They should lock those worthless 'parents' up and throw away the key. :jail: :jail:

And perhaps ensure that neither ever has children ever again.

I saw the 19 year old son defend them good parents. Imagine the therapy he needs. I hope he gets it.

The midwife or doctor that delivered the first kid of the daughter should be locked up as well. Jmo.

Likely there was none. You don't need either to give birth, and in Jaycee Dugard's case and in many cases like this, there are no birth professionals involved due to the nature of what is going on.

Any info on the type of business Kaplan was in? Saving another family from financial ruin doesn't come cheap. Neither does feeding all those girls.

I agree with you!

The Amish don't typically use the internet. The whole justification is ridiculous anyway. I mean...the internet said I could. Right.

I'd love to see dad's internet searches.

I'm hoping that is a typing error. Same with the part that said the father sexually assaulted the daughter.

Despite multiple calls from concerned neighbors and Lee Kaplan’s suspicious behavior over the years, police didn’t search the suspect’s Feasterville home until a child welfare concerns report.

(..,)

Robert Hoopes, Lower Southampton’s director of public safety, said that while they had received complaints, the calls were never specific or urgent enough to warrant an arrest.

“What kind of calls did they call? That they saw Amish people? That’s the kind of calls we got. We didn’t get any child abuse calls. If it was a child abuse call we would have responded,” Hoopes told reporters.

Police have responded to calls at the suburban Philadelphia address in the past, but never found any probable cause to search the house.

(...)

The girls were living in the basement and hiding in the chicken coop, Hoopes said (...)

Officers searched the home on Saturday, seizing a blue van and a white car, and sending dogs to find any hidden bodies.

he sells model trains on ebay and police say there was an "elaborate train system" in the basement worth "tens of thousands of dollars"
i'm thinking the officer may be overestimating the value of this train thing? but maybe not.

did the official report say that her father also was charged with sexual assault? i think it did. does that mean that he raped her too? this poor girl!! it's horrid to be kidnapped and raped of course, but even more horrible to have been raped by your own father then sold by your mother and father only to be raped by another man. i am flabbergasted and enraged that these women, the mother and wife, just go along with this evil

its so so disturbing on so many levels

also disturbing is that neighbors made phone calls for YEARS!!!!! :banghead:

I don't think it's an overestimation. A friend of mine is into model trains, and it is one expensive hobby.

Daniel and Savilla Stoltzfus: 5 Fast Facts You Need To Know

Thanks for these. The bottom link shows that they had 12 children by April 2009.

In 2002 they had 7 children, only three girls. So they had (at least) 5 children since then.

There's supposed to be nine or ten daughters isn't there? By 2009 they would have had a maximum of 8 daughters, if all of the 5 born since 2002 were girls.

Most of their little girls would have been very young.

"In a related case, authorities nearly 100 miles away in Lancaster County arrested the parents of the 18-year-old, with police saying the couple had "gifted" their daughter to Kaplan for helping them out of financial difficulties."

How does this all happen? if they "gifted" the one daughter, how did all their girls end up with this guy 100 miles away? What were they doing to those children?
It's baffling and horrifying already, and I think what what we know is a tiny fraction of the depravity.

 

[cocomod]

It is unbelievable to me that a "parent" could even begin to think that this was okay!!! Unfortunately, I have learned in recent years that there are many out there that do NOT understand what it means or even begin to be a real parent!!

Sick :sick:

A few bits of info that were new to me in this article. The Daily Beast states that they were "unable to independently verify" so I'm not going to cut-and-paste them here, but you can read at the link.

[lindamichelle1]

Just heard about this story. wow. Will come back and check on more info.
It does seem quite weird that they had so many girls. I find the odds of them only giving birth to girls very low. :/

The question about employment - here's what I have sleuthed:

In this 2009 article, Daniel Stoltzfus is pictured in front of a truck labeled D&K Metal Technologies

http://lancasteronline.com/news/ex-amishman-s-family-evicted-by-court-order/article_ee03f0d0-be96-541f-9bdc-1f20954d290b.html

In 2011, Lee Kaplan received a traffic citation and D&K Metal Technologies paid the ticket - https://ujsportal.pacourts.us/DocketSheets/MDJReport.ashx?docketNumber=MJ-07106-CR-0000108-2016

So, while it is not confirmation of actual or even recent employment, it does reflect how Stoltzfus and Kaplan could be connected.

NOTE to others sleuthing, there are many (like, over five) people named Daniel Stoltzfus in the area - please note that his date of birth is 3/1/1973 and middle initial is "E". Also, Lee Kaplan's middle name is Donald and his date of birth is 11/6/1964.
