Parents of Adolf Hitler Won't Get Kids Back

(Newser) – A New Jersey married couple who decided to name their children in honor of famous Nazis—including their 6-year-old son Adolf Hitler Campbell—are now legally prohibited from regaining custody of their four children. A judge made the ruling after a lengthy legal battle that began in 2009, reports the Huffington Post.

Adolf Hitler's siblings include JoyceLynn Aryan Nation, 5, and Honszlynn Hinler Jeanne, 6. Child welfare officials took custody of the kids after an incident in 2009 when a store refused to decorate a birthday cake with Adolf's name. In 2010, a judge ruled that the children were in danger at home because of reports of domestic violence. The parents, Heath and Deborah Campbell, both self-proclaimed Nazis, are now separated.

I grew up with a kid name adolf. that was one evil thieving MF, He was one of the few people I was scared of,I mean SCARED, I used to hear the name adolf hitler and knew he had something to do with WWII  but wasn't aware of the carnage and suffering that evil MF caused until I was in my late teens then I realized why that kid was so bad (evil) and often wondered, how could a parent name their kid off a cock sucker like that,no wonder the kid was like he was.He moved out of the area and even to this day every now and then he crosses mind and I wonder what became of him and can't think of any good.

Did you ever hear of the song "A Boy Named Sue"? Can you imagine this child growing up and going to school and the torment and anguish he'll undergo because of his name? Did you ever hear of child protection? What if they had decided to name a child "Fucking Little Bastard"? Would that be OK? The parents of this child are free to follfow whatever they wish as an ideology. But saddling the child with that insane burden is parental abuse. I'm of an age that I have very strong anti-Nazi feelings. But my position on this is one common sense to minimize the difficulties of life for the child. I only hope there is someway the courts can change the name of these kids before they suffer too much. As for the parents, learn some good lessons. Then get busy and maybe you can squeeze out Waffen SS platoon. Just sayin' . . .

When Frank Zappa told the hospital that his daughter's name would be Moon Unit, social services was called in & told him not to do it. He put a name down for her just to get her home. They changed her name back to Moon Unit.   Just the name Adolph Hitler doesn't seem like reason enough to take 4 kids. There must have been some other more interesting things going on in that house. My guess is they where giving warning that some weird shit was going to happen sooner or later.
