He's shunned. Plain and simple. They are made outcasts from the People, their friends and relatives cannot speak to them, touch them, or eat at the same table with them during meals. Their goal is to get the person shamed into repenting, or to make the guy feel so lonely he'll leave the community.
The Amish are baptized as adults. Members of the community cannot be shunned unless they are baptized members of the church. Chances are that the child would choose not to stay Amish, would not be instructed for baptism, and he would leave the community WITHOUT being shunned. Now, his family might not be happy with the fact that they left the community but that is a completely different issue.
The purpose of shunning is not to make someone leave the community, but to encourage them to come back. The Amish believe that by being isolated from the rest of the community, someone will see the error of their ways, repent, and come fully back to their place in the community.
