Nazi-naming Parents Lose Custody of Child Number Four

The New Jersey couple Heath and Deborah Campbell, made headlines in 2009 when a supermarket refused to decorate a birthday cake for their son, Adolf Hitler.  Adolf Hitler, along with his siblings JoyceLynn Aryan Nation and Honszlynn Hinler were removed from the home by the state due to claims of prior violence  at the Campbell home. 

An appeals court last year ruled that parents would not regain custody because both suffered from unspecified physical and psychological disabilities that put the children at serious risk, according to the NY Daily News.

Now they are back in the news after state welfare officials took custody of their fourth child, Hons, just hours after he was born on Thursday.  As they continue their battle with the state to regain custody of their other three children, they are now also fighting to get their new baby back.  The parents (who despite having the house decorated with swastikas, and giving their children Nazi inspired names, deny being neo-nazis ?!), state there is no evidence of abuse, and that the children were taken due to their names. 

So here are my two cents;  there are certain names that are not suitable for any children. Adolf Hitler, would be one of those.  Osama bin Laden, another....Karl Otto Koch, Josef Mengele, Joseph Stalin, Idi Amin, Saddam Hussain, Muamar Ghadhafi...all names to stay away from when naming your new baby. 

Whether Christian or not, no one in their right mind would name their child Judas (Google it, there are no-one with that name any more), because no matter how you look at it, that name represents betrayal. So why on earth would names of some of the most horrific people this world has seen be an option? Actually giving any of these names to your child, will give the clear impression you sympathize with what that person stood for. If you do agree with anything any of these people stood for, you should be labeled as having psychological disabilities that will put the children at risk.  If your parenthood starts off with such an idiotic decision, you shouldn't be allowed to make any more decisions for that child!  That's just my opinion, but I'm glad to see the courts actually seem to agree.
