Kids With Nazi Names Taken From Home






HOLLAND TOWNSHIP, N.J. (Jan. 14) - Police say three New Jersey siblings whose names have Nazi connotations have been placed in the custody of the state.

 


Township Police Sgt. John Harris says workers from the state Division of Youth and Family Services removed 3-year-old Adolf Hitler Campbell and his younger sisters, JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell from their home Tuesday.

 

Harris says family services did not tell police the reason the children were removed. Agency spokeswoman Kate Bernyk says it does not comment on specific cases.

So, do you think Social Services should have the right to take a child because they don't approve of the political views of the parents?

I guess we're closer to a totalitarian society than any of us realized...

No...But there could be more to this case than meets the eye.

We don't know why the children were removed.


Who in their right minds would burden their children with names that have such terrible connotations?

That's the problem.

What I find especially bothersome:


It is unclear why the children were

Did you find anything saying that "NO one" was informed why the children were removed? If so, I'd appreciate reading it.

The three different articles I read simply said that the police weren't informed. Is it standard practice in the US/state that the police must be informed the reasons why, every time Social Services intervenes to remove a child from their home?

It doesn't specify why the kids were taken. I doubt it was just for the names. There had to be something else, and the names were just the icing on the cake. My guess anyway.

If the name of the children was their only reason, the family services people should be arrested. Parents should have the right to name their children what they want.

While his department did not receive a report, the courts were.

Apparently it wasn't the reason at all (see above).
