I've known multiple people who have left the Amish and other Anabaptist communities over the years through business dealings as well as in school. I also know several still in the communities through business; produce and woodworking products mostly.
Its difficult to understand just how little American culture they are exposed to or understand, especially the kids. If your only exposure to non-Anabaptist cultures is the occasional pick up truck flying past your farm or planes overhead, ideas like "sex slavery is illegal" may be lost on you. The entire workings of the "English" law enforcement and court systems is lost on you. We talk a lot about how women behave as if they have no agency, Amish women are non-agency incarnate. The men make all the decisions, beating children is normal and women have no expectation steering the course of their own lives. Being breeding stock for a religious fanatic and being breeding stock for a jewish pervert probably seems like a wash.
