Adolf Hitler is one of the most evil men to ever walk the face of the planet. He also happens to be a little boy in New Jersey. Adolf Hitler Campbell was taken away from his parents in 2009 because welfare officials said that his name was a form of abuse.
And Adolf Hitler isnt the only strange name in the Campbell family. Heath and Deborah Campbell named their daughter JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell. But is an offensive name reason enough to divide a family?
Heres a news report filmed shortly after Adolf Hitler was taken away from his parents.
Yahoo! News reports that the Campbells are fighting to get their children back. The Campbells say that Adolf Hitler was wrongfully taken away since there was no evidence of abuse.
Heath said:
The judge and [the Division of Youth and Family Services) told us that there was no evidence of abuse and that it was the names. They were taken over the childrens names.
Ms. Campbell added:
I dont sleep, I dont eat much. I miss my kids. Miss their pitter patters on the floor.
The Campbells insist that they are not neo-Nazi supporters, despite the fact that their home is decorated with swastikas. But even if the Campbells are neo-Nazis, does that mean that they arent allowed to have children?
If Gwenyth Paltrow can name her daughter Apple. If Jason Lee can name his son Pilot Inspektor. If Bob Geldof can name his kids Fifi-Trixibelle, Peaches, Little Trixie, and Honeyblossom, then why cant the Campbells name their son Adolph?

I wonder if they named him Joseph Stalin, if anyone would have raised a stink?
How about Muhammad?
Free speech has nothing to do with it; the ability to seize a citizen from their family for arbitrary reasons is much more the problem here. Yes, I think registrars should stop accepting novelty names, and I mean ALL novelty names, including those cutesy novelty spellings that idiots come up with. But that is a completely separate issue - the government stole someone's parents away, at the same time stealing a child from parents, and their entire excuse is some made up problem with the name.
If it was such an issue, get a judicial order to have the name changed. Just wish there was a sane DA in the neighborhood to charge child services with kidnapping. Demonstrate where in the law you've permission to take a child simply because you despise their name.
We both know the answer to that...
I know a guy that named his kid Harley David so he can,”this is Harley David my son.” Takes all kinds.
How about Carl Marx?!
I don't know.
Well, of course free speech has something to do with it; the name is the pretext for the state-kindnapping. It is viewpoint discrimination made worse by their custody action.
I doubt there is any judicial procedure in the United States to force a name change for a child.
The procedure would likely be: take the child away, and reach an agreement with the parents that the child could be returned if the name is changed.
Dweezil and Moon Unit. Case closed.
Have you never seen this “family” in the news before? You would not have made that comment if you knew the loooonnnnngggg backstory.
This is not about free speech. The parents are abusive.
Which is more dangerous to society, a family with an 80 average IQ, no money and a bunch of stupid names, OR a government which can take your children at will?
I'll come pitter patter on yer floor, shveetheart.
Don't think we're talkin' about the same thing, tho
I agree with the action taken by the Division of Youth and Family Services if, and only if, the child was named Barack Obama.
Now it,s on the list of least used names. Soon to be joined, perhaps, by "Barack".
There's like 32% of a full set of teeth there between the two.
The parents are obnoxious idiots.
The state of New Jersey is a tyranny.
