Parents name children after hitler, children taken away

[classy]

This is a long running story. As messed up as it seems, I can't honestly fault the courts here. Those names will surely open the child up to unwarranted abuse and attacks. Sadly giving their kids these names is abuse.

I wonder if they would bake and decorate an Allah Achbar Cake with a bomb on the front? Just Kidding. I dont see what the problem is. Maybe they are just patriotic German Americans? Kind of like flying a rebel flag.

So are these people jackasses and morons? Yes. Was there likely abuse involved? Yes. Would there kids have been taken away if their names were not what they are?? I suspect the answer is "no", and that's a problem. The fact that they named their kids something not politically correct should not play any factor at all in whether the kids are removed from the parents house at all.

Politically correct? Really, you think that's what its about? Or more they attracted attention to themselves being not only being white supremacists, but really dumb ones.

Could it possibly be that the parents are idiots who named their children that way, AND that there is abuse justifying removing them?

I think we can call this one abuse by proxy. Instead of me beating the shit out of kids, I give them bad names and EVERYONE AT SCHOOL beats the shit out of them. Every day. For the next 12 years.

These parents qualify for my lame trademarked phrase:

Some people just need their asses kicked.

Just F-n great. We are now going to have the government and the courts telling us what we can name our children. Maybe that is a good thing. Have you seen the names these Hollywood types are saddling there spawn with these days? And what about getting some variety in the muslim community. Not every one of there male kids can be named after a long dead pedophile.

Way too many conclusions are being drawn here based upon a really poorly written article. It's a currently pending contested litigation and the article writer apparently only interviewed the birth parents and presents only their interpretation of what happened in court. So we are dependent upon a highly biased (wacko) layman's view of rather technical legal issues and questions.

Third parties like us trying to evaluate what actually happened is near impossible, but it appears to me that only some sort of preliminary ruling occured with the main hearing yet to happen.

Given the basic standard applied in these cases (what is in the best interests of the child) it's not too surprising to me what apparently has happened so far.

Or mine,

Some people's kids.......

If their kids were taken away just because of their names that's bullshit. No way in hell should we start to allow the government tell us what to name our kids.

 

[piasabird]

Lots of people give their kids stupid names. Who in Hell would name someone Barak Husein O'Bammah? That is just stupid. He should have legally change his name!

Lots of stupid names out there.

Well they say they weren't physically or emotionally abusing their children so the neighbor who reported it is probably lying. Why would the parents lie about something like that?
/sarcasm

I like how they're not racist and the dad just has a swastika tattoo because he "likes art."

 

[brandonb]

What next? We can't name our pet Tinkerbell because of Paris Hiltons dog? Because that would create a bad association and there could be potential animal abuse towards the dog?

Its perfectly legal to name your kids whatever you want, just as its perfectly legal to be a white supremacist.

 

[Munky]

I like how everyone wants the government to decide what you can and can't name your kids. Next up, the government will take away your kid for wearing an offensive tshirt. Go liberalism!

BHO isn't such a bad name. It's different but it's not bad.

I want to see a news story about parents naming their white kid ******. What would he do when introducing himself to a group of black people? Hi my name is..... uhh... James.
