BERGHOLZ, Ohio (AP) —

More than 50 Amish children could lose one parent to prison — and most of the youngest could lose both — on Friday when 16 men and women are sentenced in beard-cutting attacks on fellow members of their faith in Ohio.Most defendants could face as long as 10 years in prison and are asking the judge for leniency so they can return to their homes and farms, teaching their sons a trade and their daughters how to sew, cook and keep house.But their bid faces an uphill battle. Victims of the 2011 attacks, which the government called a hate crime and an attempt by a splinter group to shame members who left or denounced it, say justice is needed, especially for the ringleader.

You'll know you've been in a fight when you've been on the business end of a beard attack.

You've gotta watch out for them Amish, they'll cut your beard off in your sleep.

But seriously, those guys shouldn't do any serious prison time.. maybe 30 days in jail and probation but not years in prison.
