Parents lose custody of Nazi-named children

HOLLAND TOWNSHIP, N.J. - Three New Jersey siblings whose names have Nazi connotations have been placed in the custody of the state, police said Wednesday.

Holland Township Police Sgt. John Harris said 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 said family services did not tell police the reason the children were removed. Agency spokeswoman Kate Bernyk said it does not comment on specific cases.

I think this is a win for the kids but at the same time feel that this a slippery slope. Not much more info provided so the only thing I can assume is that the kids were taken because of their names which is a little scary. I mean it's pretty damaging to send your kids through life with names like Adolf hitler Cambell and Aryan Nation Cambell but the state shouldn't have the right either to take your kids away because of what you named them unless some sort of abuse other than mental anxiety is evident.

I dunno. Thoughts?

This is absurd. That woman has the right to name her kids whatever she wants. While it may be kind of tough for the kid throughout his early years of school, he could just get his name changed later on.LikeHaterade

I strongly disagree.

But I think there were other reasons for social services' actions.

This is so ******* stupid: The 3 year old kid has the name Adolf Hitler Woopty ******* doo! It's just a name!!

So what now, a kid can't have a name that his or her parents gave them? That is the stupidest thing that I have ever heard or read.

the part that the kids were taken away because of their names is the stupid part about it all.

Why? That woman carried the child in her womb for 9 months, and gave birth. It's her child and she may name the child whatever she wants.

I heard about this family through that story about how a store wouldn't write Adolf's name on a birthday cake. I wondered then how messed up those kids would turn out to be if they stayed with those obviously nazi (or similar) parents. Legally this will be an interesting case though.Ontain

I agree..

Ok now you lost me... If it's just the womans kid then why do they file for child support?

Social services obviously felt that the kids are in danger so there must be other reasons than just their names. But I think that the names of the kids is reason enough to take them away. Anyone who names their children 'Adolf Hitler or 'Aryan Nation' does not deserve to have children. It was the father who named them and when he chose those names, he gave no regard to the kid's well being but only to his pathetic opportunity to express his racism.

I think it would be more mentally damaging for the kids to grow up with parents like that than growing up in a foster home or with parents who adopt them.

Putting on devils advocate hat for a second...

What about a muslim family or any family for that matter naming their kid Saddam or Huessian or Osama? Should the cops roll in on them and take their kids away?

Really? Whatever she wants? You'd have no problem with any name no matter how outlandish?

Let's say a relative of yours has a baby and names her Donkeypoop. You wouldn't have a problem with that?

One thing is having a problem with it, but are there any laws stating that you can't name your baby Donkeypoop?horgen123

Nope, but there are all sorts of laws against the willful impedance of a child's development.

It wouldn't matter. It is not my child. However, any parent foolish enough to name their kid that shouldn't be a parent.(Even though it does have kind of a nice ring to it) Nevertheless, I wouldn't even call the kid by his real name. He can change it himself when he gets older anyways. My parents almost named me Xavier. How sweet would that have been huh?

The names are an interesting aspect of the story but may not be connected to the kids' removal at all. Elraptor

That's no justification, as the damage would've already been done long before poor little Donkeypoop is legally permitted to undergo a name change.

Way too little info here, names shouldn't be the only reason you take away a child... either the Family Services made a serious mistake here or there's more to the story than meets the eye.Hungry_bunny

Do you people honestly believe that someone who names their kids like this is an even remotely stable individual? I'm going to go and be extra judgmental and say that I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if there was child abuse going on in that house. I'd put a pretty high likelihood on substance abuse (even if it's "only" alcohol) as well.

I just think it's funny that so many people here jumped to the conclusion that they were only removed because of their names. I'm quite certain those parents have plenty of other issues. People like that always do. The names are probably the only reason this is a news story though, of course.

Why didnt they take the kids when they were born and named if its about their names. Thats strange, but I remember reading about a kid born in switzerland or somewhere like that and the parents wanted to name it 11 but the gov said it had to be a real name so they changed it to superman.thirteen_zombie
