ITHACA, N.Y. (WHCU) – An Amish couple charged following the accidental drowning of their three-year old child.
The Seneca County Sheriff’s Office was called to the home on Ernsberger Road in the Town of Varick in October — for the report of an unresponsive child. A joint investigation by the Sheriff’s Office and Child Protective Services concluded the child was left alone in a barn – and as a result of a lack of supervision, the child accidentally drowned in a container filled with liquid.
Samuel and Fannie Stoltzfus have been charged with Endangering the Welfare of a child.
