Meidung follows a member who breaks the Ordnung and will not repent: members do not eat at the same table with the banned person, do not accept goods or money from their hand, and in the strictest affiliations a spouse does not share a bed with them. It is meant to be temporary and restorative, and often is. It is also the mechanism that has made abuse hard to report. Documented cases include Mary Byler, who in 2004 in Vernon County, Wisconsin, testified that she had been raped repeatedly by her brothers and that church discipline was applied to her for going to the police; her brothers were convicted, and she was shunned. In 2011 and 2012 a breakaway Amish group at Bergholz, Ohio, led by Samuel Mullet, carried out five beard- and hair-cutting attacks on other Amish; sixteen were convicted in federal court in 2012, and in August 2014 the Sixth Circuit reversed the hate-crime convictions over a faulty jury instruction, after which the defendants were resentenced in March 2015 on the remaining counts. Amish-run advocacy and outside networks now press for mandatory reporting; the districts have no central authority that could impose it.
