Join us for a conversation with Remii from an Old Order Amish group that did practice rumspringa. Remii discusses her experiences, including early teens, and shares how she escaped. Remii had some unique challenges and needed assistance to establish her identity outside of her Amish community of origin because she did not have a social security number when she escaped.
