Hitler's Mom: 'I Want My Kids Back'

Share

(Newser) – Adolf Hitler's mom wants her son back home. The Jersey mother who saddled her three kids with Nazi-friendly names lost them to social services because of a neighbor's false claims of abuse, she tells the Express-Times. We "would never abuse our children," she said. "I want my children back." But that may prove to be complicated since police found the kids' grandma drunk in the car as the family headed to a hearing, reports MSNBC.

Cops who pulled the family over last week called dad Heath Campbell "that Nazi guy" and quizzed him about his swastika tattoo, his wife complained. They were ticketed for failing to make necessary repairs to their car. The parents have argued that they have the right to name their kids whatever they choose, and opted for the strange monikers to honor the Third Reich. "They're just names," said Heath Campbell.

Alright so let's take a step back and look at this. When the family is pulled over, the officer notices that the husband has a "swastika" tattoo on his NECK. That doesn't imply anything at all, right? I mean that's not the least bit obvious? Okay, so these are just some proud Germans. Now as we look deeper into the family we find that their son is named "Adolf Hitler". Now it seems to me that these two facts alone produce a "smoking gun", so to say. But there is more... The daughter's name is Joycelynn ARYAN NATION!?!?!?!? I don't think I need to say anything else. Reply

You DO have something else to say.... Say what crimes they committed... Say what law they broke. Just because it offends your sensibilities doesn't make it a crime

This is journalism on the level of The National Enquirer... Utter rag news. The people are sick, and yes, naming your child, Adolf Hitler is utterly irresponsible and shows a lack of maturity, responsibility, etc... This child will be branded for the rest of his life... Reply

It's a catch 22. The parents do have the right to name their child whatever they want but naming him after one of the brutal dictators that the world has ever seen and ever will see is setting him up for a lifetime of hardships. Some people just don't "get it" Reply
