Psych tests ordered for homeschooling parent "A German appeals court has not only affirmed a lower court's decision that ripped a 15-year-old homeschooler from her family and subjected her to a forced stay in a psychiatric hospital because she is homeschooled, but also ordered her parents to be given psychiatric evaluations, an international rights organization says."
Here is the psychological evaluation and the reason Melissa Busekros was forcibly taken from here home in Germany.
I. FINDINGS: (according to the international classification system ICD 10 of the WHO)
Cause for presentation: Melissa B. had been officially deregistered by the school administration of Christian-Ernst Gymnasium in Erlangen on 2005-02-28 because she attended school only very
Psychopathological findings: At first contact, M. was alert, oriented, calm, somewhat browbeaten. M. presents herself as being affectively noninvolved, her drive and psychomotor movements seemed to be normal, thinking and perception are not greatly disturbed. M. appears incommunicative, appeasing, her willingness to cooperate did not seem genuine. Her mood tended toward depression, the affective ability was markedly reduced. Overall, M. appeared very unhappy, as if at a dead end.
1. CLINICAL PSYCHIATRIC SYNDROME: In summary, the current clinical-psychiatric findings show that an emotional disturbance of childhood or adolescence exists in M.. It is linked with a severe school phobia and a massive self-esteem problem. (ICD-10: F92.0)
2. SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENTAL DISORDERS OF SCHOLASTIC SKILLS: No test conducted.
3. DATA ON INTELLECTUAL LEVEL: No test conducted, at first estimate: Norm-variant of average intelli- gence.
4. PHYSICAL SYMPTOMATOLOGY: None.
5. CURRENT ABNORMAL PSYCHOSOCIAL SITUATIONS: Abnormal educational conditions
6. GLOBAL ASSESSMENT OF PSYCHOSOCIAL ADJUSTMENT: Serious and general social impairment in the area of school adjustment and school related interests, of leisure activities and coping with social situations.
II. OPINION: During the conversation it had been accomplished to confront Melissa with her situation. By reason of the severe school refusal, the emotional disturbance and the parents' hitherto insufficient willingness to cooperate, a basic reorientation in a special education facility / group home is urgently required in order to avoid danger to the further development.
Through assistance and rehabilitation measures (small group size and intensive school support), M. might accomplish to finish school in this setting, since she would quickly be excluded due to the severity of the disturbance and the described self-esteem problem. A favourable development is possible.
Melissa Busekros was examined by us. She has a childhood emotional disorder, severe school phobia and an oppositional denial-syndrome. Melissa lacks insight into her illness and the need for treatment, and considers herself healthy and her behaviour fully normal. M. needs urgent help in a closed setting if need be, and subsequent special education treatment to ensure schooling.
As it isn't furthermore not possible for the parents to judge the danger to their daughter correctly, and make the necessary decisions about the daughter's further development or the type and length of the treatment and the schooling, the responsibility for her residence, healthcare and representation before officials and authorities should rest with the youth welfare office in Erlangen.
By reason of the ascertained findings, at the present moment, we must proceed from the assumption that the child's welfare is endangered and also the conditions for inpatient placement a therapeutic special education facility are met. By reason of the severity of the symptomatology, the provision of stable and dependable contacts with peers and adult caretakers as well as the development of Melissa's very limited mental ability to cope with pressure can only be assured in such facilities. M. is incapable of leading the self-determined and self-structured life she wishes. The necessary measure is necessary for avoiding a considerable endangerment to her further physical and emotional development, and it can only be implemented in a special education setting, as previous experience shows that she whould avoid other measures. In addition, M. needs professional child and adolescent psychiatric treatment and care, that can be implemented in an outpatient setting. By reason of the detected clinical-psychiatric disorders, Melissa Busekros' psychological health has already deviated from the condition which is typical for the respective age for at least one year. M. has met the requirements for granting integration assistance as per (SGB VIII) §35a, section 1, sentence 2, No. 1, because without future professional therapeutic help there is the danger that her participation in the life of society is restricted.

I can hardly wait to read the comments on this one!

Have they incarcerated the "abusive" parents yet?
Compared to what? Schools in Massachusetts?

Sorry about the typos, before.
Psychiatric evaluations that so vague are unreal.
Sorry about mine. I tolerate typos; I know who my enemies are.
In other words, she is a typical political prisoner.
This is the same psycho-babble the Soviets used to use. The Marxists had a special "diagnosis" of "sluggish schizophrenia" that was used on all freedom loving anti-communists.
While better than shooting them in a firing squad, the Soviets would involutarily hospitalize the political prisoners and pump them full of Haldol.
The German doctors here (are they psychologists?) are guilty of profound human rights violations.
Of course not, no doubt it would be quite counter-productive to their cause to give this homeschooler an intelligence test.
Do not hesitate to home educate.
Or have children. This kind of evaluation and enforcement is not particular to homeschooling.
Coming to a country really, really, really near you, dear reader.
Stand by me, stand by them.
Nothing more needs to said to this than, "Sieg Heil!"
Do not hesitate to . . .
