3-year old Adolf Hitler Campbell
The New Jersey Division of Youth and Family Services and police officers have taken custody of 3-year old Adolf Hitler Campbell, a month after a local supermarket refused to write his name on his birthday cake.
JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell, 1, and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell, who turns 1 in April, were also taken from their parents, Holland Township police chief David Van Gilson said. There are no reports or complaints of abuse, and the police chief did not know why the children were taken.
A spokeswoman from the Division of Youth and Family Services at first would not confirm or deny the report, saying the division does not comment on specific families. They later confirmed the children were taken last week by authorities.
Police Chief Van Gilson said a hearing is scheduled for Thursday before Superior Court Judge Peter A. Buschbaum at the Hunterdon County Justice Center to decide whether the state can temporarily place the children in another home. Township police Sgt. John Harris is scheduled to testify.
Much whining came about last month when news broke of the child named Adolf. “They’re just names, you know,” father Heath Campbell told reporters at the time. “Yeah, they (the Nazis) were bad people back then. But my kids are little. They’re not going to grow up like that.”

I agree with you Pete. This is just wrong, no matter how much you disagree with what these parents named their kid. Ironically, this action sounds like something the Nazis would have done…
Agreed. Like it or not, they have the right to be holocaust deniers and they have the right to name their son Adolf Hitler. Someone call the ACLU to defend these Americans.
It's quite ironic. American social services behaving like Nazis as they CONFISCATE kids because of their Nazi names. This is almost too bizarre to believe.
That's just wrong. Those kids are going to be soooo screwed up. It's like naming your kids "Ann Coulter," or "Bill O'Reilly."
For Pete’s sake, this is a free country, and as reprehensible as Adolph Hitler was, last I checked people can still name their children anything they please! Go look for REAL child abuse.

First up, the parents are obviously boneheads. I don’t agree with their viewpoints. However, doesn’t make what’s been done right, it just makes it worse. Lots of dumb parents have kids. Some teach them Christian propaganda, or black power propaganda, or Nazi propaganda and some are just too stupid to to give their children any attention at all. Which one of those kids ends up the worst?
This whole story went from ridiculous and amusingly sad (the names) to revoltingly shockign (the taking) in a matter of weeks.
I am hoping that the kids' names don't have anything to do with why these children were taken. And while I disagree strongly with the twisted White Supremacist outlook, I'm also hoping that's not why they took them as well. Canada has begun doing this kind of thing and it scares me.
Why don't they take all the spook kids named Jamal, Shaniqua, Tanisha and Shabazz?
Why don’t they take the Jamals, Kayshauns, Ayeshas, Shabazz’s, Tanishas, Kyeshas?
I don’t want to come off sounding like I am for naming your kids Adolf Hitler, but isn’t it your right to name your kids whatever you want? Unless there is serious abuse in the home, and I mean serious abuse, there is no reason for a government agency to ever take someone’s children. The idea they took these kids because of what they were named is pretty disturbing.
or how about starting with the Lamont a-hole Cranstons first.
It doesn’t say anything about why they took the children, but I doubt it had anything to do with their names. I would have to be because of either the environment or abuse. That being said, I have to wonder if there’s a way to make the parents pay for the court order if the kids want to change their names after they reach the age of 18…
I understand what you are all saying about the right to name your child anything, but there has to be a compromise here for the sake of the children.
The torment that will be waiting for them will be ruthless and needless. Woould you want that for your children or anyone you love? Why would you want that for them?
A good compromise would be that a nickname would be given for Adolf and made legally ordered by the court until time he is (and the girls are) of legal age to change it themselves. The girls could be addressed without the negative German references and Adolf given an alternative nickname but his birth name could remain on his birth certificate.
Listen to testimony of the psychologists. Living with these parents will probably be difficult at best. Let's at least give them a chance with interaction with peers.
I heard there was a girl once named Ima Pig.
We can only imagine what a self concept that girl grew up to have. And what teasing she must have gone through. I would hope a court would have intervened for the sake of the child.
But that's just me.
FROM WIKIPEDIA: Re: Ima Hogg
Similar unfortunate baby names according to United States Census records include Ima Pigg, Ima Muskrat, Ima Nut, Ima Hooker,[15] Ima Weiner, Ima Reck, Ima Pain and Ima Butt.[20]
Maybe the courts can and should protect children from parents in regard to their names as well…..
CPS is a legalised kidnapping ring.
Now if Family Services in US is anything like Social Services in UK, I wonder what these people will waste their time with next, whilst other kids (with politically correct names) are being beaten to death.
Welcome to the liberal socialist world! Don't you get that warm, fuzzy fealing when you realize your tax dollars pay for all this incompetence?
I think if I was a friend of this little guy as soon as he was old enough to understand, I keep telling him you need to sue the state of New Jerksy in the poor house for trama caused you by being removed from you parents for no real reason.
While I agree that naming conventions are a freedom typically best left to the digression of a parent, there are circumstances where the action (or inaction) of a parent with regard to the raising of a child constitute abuse, in so much that a parent who improperly or fails to prepare a child for life in the “real world” or raising them in an environment with such skewed perception as to render them virtually malign with modern culture, would indeed be considered abusive.
Realize, they arent just giving the kid a name; they’re setting him up for the next eighteen years of his life, willfully and with full knowledge and understanding of what someone attempting to grow up with that name would suffer. Thats abusive.
Do you think the child, were he as aware as we all are, would wish to be named as such?
There will be a time and a place in society where names and symbols of regimes that have done horrible things no longer provoke an innate sense of dread in the educated masses, but that time isnt quite upon us yet. For the same reason, the toothbrush mustache is not considered socially appropriate. FORCING a child to be subjected to be subjected to that is abuse, abhorrent, and plain ignorant.
Bad precedent taking kids from their mommies and daddies just because you don’t like their politics. Just wait until they come for your kids.
We have the government raising the kids now. Gone are the good old days (I am talking like a person as old as I am) when the fine old tradition of youth rebellion and questioning authority was alive and well. What happened? The boomer generation that started out so fine in rebelling against self-proclaimed authority fell down on the job. We did not follow through, but gave up. And this is the result: a younger generation so docile that they accept horrific infringements on their God-given rights and are clamoring for bigger government.

Anonymous, your argument is superficially logical, however, this is clearly a slippery slope issue like government regulating religious behavior. How many children named “Lenin” or “Mao” or “Fidel Castro” would be yanked from their homes under the same logic, as these people are responsible for the deaths of tens of millions or in the best case, Fidel, the repression of millions? How many Osama bin Laden namesakes have been yanked, (or Mohammeds for that matter) ? You know that the American media would be all over the DSS departments for doing that.
Children are extremely resilient. They usually survive and rebel against the indoctrination of thier parents. We don’t need government finding new ways to interfere with parenting our children because some sociology major with an inferior education thinks it isn’t correct.
These kids got jerks for parents. Some kids are born unlucky too, but have worse problems, like birth defects.
I’m scared enough by government intervention in our parental discretion, to let these kids live with the consequences of their dopey parents rather than have a loopy left winger calling the shots about what political attitudes I can attempt to project on my children, because that is the slope we’ve stepped off onto if there is no other abuse other than the stupid name here..
to Jax: Kiss my ass!
I had a wonderful German Shepherd named Adolf
We could have a registered list of names at the hospital and new parents could choose from that list. Problem Solved. ;-0
And as for Adirondack Jack statement, ‘these people are responsible for the deaths of tens of millions’
If you have children who is responsible for their death? As we all know but don’t want to say ‘Life’, is a terminal disease.
Obama/Osama should have his 2 corn-row daughters taken from him for naming them Tasha and Alia.
Child abuse is an industry, not a protection agency. A vital tool of deception that is used to uphold the Public Facade is language,
(Orwellian, George Orwell 1984) which is intentionally vague words and loose interpretations that keep the true agenda and intent concealed. One of the first misconceptions is that the State Offices For Services to Children & Families are a “protection” agency or that they “care” about children and families. THEY ARE AN AGENCY THAT SELLS SERVICES. THEY DO NOT PROTECT CHILDREN.
Check out your state budget and see what percent goes to Family Preservation. The entire system is a BIG front and a fraud. All you have to do is follow the money trail and prove it for yourself. Profits in commerce in taking children, selling services to the children and families and selling children in adoptions after using them as long as possible, stringing them in the forced programs. It is a farce and a fraud, a child abuse industry that has developed, being used by the government to render and destroy families with a goal of families that can be subsidized and children who are so screwed up it will guarantee the next generation of victims.
I could write a book and it’s all pretty wicked in most areas under the color of law. Wake up people. Your children may be next.
Welcome to the Police State. We are going to see more of this when the alien takes office. More Ruby Ridges and more Waco's. Political correctness to the nth degree = loss of your freedom.
