Amish Woman Charged In Death Of Young Son At Tuscarawas County Lake

Charges are being filed against an Amish woman accused of killing her young son this past weekend in Tuscarawas County.

Authorities say that 40-year-old Ruth Miller tells them she was acting at God's direction when she threw the four-year-old off a pier and into Atwood Lake last Saturday.

The woman's husband and three older children all went through so-called water-based trials at the lake, with those other children surviving and the husband drowning.

Miller is charged with aggravated murder in the boy's death.
