Montana Haven is the youtube channel of former Amish couple Joas and Priscilla Miller. They have moved to Alaska for a few years and then hope to return to their home in Montana which they are presently advertising as an Airbnb.
They have five children.
They all worked hard building their new log home in Alaska and they take time for holidays and weekends away.
This all sounds well and good, and would be were it not for the fact that the children are continually placed in harm’s way at work or at leisure.
The children have been frequently in danger from falls, dangerous machinery, the elements and even bears. Some of the children have sustained injuries at home.
Their parents do not seem overly concerned about health and safety regulations for themselves or their children, being more concerned with getting a job done quickly.
This indifference to their children’s safety extends to holidays and hiking trips.
The video below shows footage of a recent hiking trip. Their youngest son Wyatt recently sustained a serious finger injury which required surgery. In the video we see Wyatt walking on sharp stones barefoot whilst carrying his boots. Mr Miller seems unconcerned about the possibility of Wyatt injuring his foot on the stones and does not insist that he wears his boots.
Later in the video the oldest daughter Avalon is “led” by her father into a river which appears to have stones under the water. Avalon is barefoot. The pained look on Avalon’s face says it all. The water is obviously freezing cold.
Wyatt walking barefoot is at timestamp 2mins56-3mins2 and Avalon walking in the river is at 7mins53-8.14
