That home-schooling story has several different sides to it. This Melissa Busekros...has some type of emotional issue with school...either the stress of it or simply inability to study. The fact is that on grade points...the school failed her at the conclusion of the 2006 period (summer). They wanted her to repeat...which is kind of amusing that she was in the high-class atmosphere (gymnasium)...and mom probably could have gotten moved to easier classes at some local "Real" school (the middle school of the German system). But mom didn't want that. Mom went the route of home schooling...which is illegal by German law. The interesting point to this...there are other kids in the house...which stayed in the regular German school system...they didn't have issues. Adding to this mess...once this girl turns 16...if she wants to just do apprentice work and forget about school...she could do so. She is very close to that point of turning 16...so the school system could have looked the other way and forgot about this whole thing. Finally...the element of being in Bavaria also plays into this episode...they are pro-family and generally have a strong view of relgion in their minds. As of this week...the girl is still in government control...at a house which the parents know nothing about. The girl is brought once a week, by court-direction to a neutral site where the parents can see the girl.
If the parents really wanted to stir the pot here...they merely need to bring the story of the French hero...Joan of Arc...to this young girl held by the authorities...and simply give her the courage to rise above the German authorities. Joan of Arc had strength to lead a nation and a army...and even in prison...could not be held back.
I take it you must live in Germany. Is it really true that most European countries have no incest laws?
