Deborah And Heath Campbell, Parents Of Adolf Hitler And JoyceLynn Aryan Nation, Fight To Get Their Kids Back

In 2008, Deborah and Heath Campbell of Holland Township, NJ made national headlines over a birthday cake. When Deborah told a ShopRite bakery department she wanted her son's name -- Adolf Hitler -- spelled out, her request was denied.

One month later, Adolf and his siblings, JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie were removed from their home and put into foster care because of alleged abuse and parental incompetence. The Campbells denied any kind of abuse and claimed that the only reason their children were taken was because of their names, NBC 10 reports.

The couple says that a New Jersey court vindicated them of the allegations last month, but has not given custody back to the parents.

"Actually, the judge and DYFS told us that there was no evidence of abuse and that it was the names! They were taken over the children's names," Heath Campbell told NBC 10.

The Campbells picketed outside of child services offices on Tuesday protesting to get their kids back. They told NBC 10 that the state has no right keep Adolf and JoyceLynn away. According to the Campbells, a judge will decide in December if their children can come home.

Since my original post, where I merely pointed out the obvious, that the actual article read that these unfortunate children were taken out of the home due to violence in the home and not because of their names, I have been handed my ass on a plate. It's amazing that apparently everyone except for me has actual access to the case files and knows, without a doubt, the actual facts of this case. So, you even know that according to other articles about this case, neighbors of the Campbells told reporters that the children WERE NOT taken away because of their names. But hey, how would an actual neighbor of these children possibly know more than anyone just merely reading an article. So, I apologize for merely pointing out what the article actually read, By all means, keep making facts up and then discussing them. BTW-I'm not saying that these children's horrid names might not have something to do with the Campbells not getting their children back. However, according to official records and neighbors of the Campbell's, their names are not the reasons that the children were taken out of the home.

People like this make a good case for selective sterilization. Why is it that so often the people who should least have children are the ones who have them, and lots of them?

Let's see...in the video, the one child is drinking a big bottle of pop--that's healthy and nutritious. Dad smokes, so the house is probably filled with second-hand smoke that the kids have to inhale.
The one kid had to endure getting her ears piereced at an early age. Is all of that responsible parenting?

Hmmm...dad "likes art." Think he is going to take the kids to an art museum or gallery or encourage their creativity with art materials?

Then dad states that the kids are not going to grow up to hate or hurt anyone. Come back and say that in fifteen years, dad.

They even look a little bit like psychos. Especially he looks like a typical "Aryan Nation" beliver ;/ But it could be ramainded that this is a country of free speech. Althought it doesn't change the fact that the ridiculous names of this children are a form of abuse. So they totally shouldn't win the fight for custody of this poor kids.

They would think it is deplorable, but at the same time recognize that sometimes we must withstand deplorable behavior without the having the government do likewise.

Those are abusive names from misguided, (and I'm sure loving) parents, who are using their children to try and make a point to the "Man".
I hope the kids are never returned home, and I hope the state, or the foster homes are allowed to change their names.

"A local WalMart ultimately provided the cake for the child's party."

The Waltons come through! Such home-town ethics.

Entirely unfit parents.

These children are going to lead horrible lives due to these names....what parent in their right mind would do this to a child? If the children are being held from the parents it must be because of their inability to understand the harm they are actually inflicting upon their children. People who are this out of touch with reality should not have children. It is child abuse. They have set thier children up to be hated, abused by others (emotionally and probably physically), outcasted, shunned, taunted, teased, and just frowned down upon. After years of this kind of emotional abuse these children are about to endure, how can they possibly grow up to be normal? Very sad!

What kind of childhood could these kids expect with names like that? It's not fair putting such a burden on children like that. Stupid bigots.

unfortunately, they have the right to name their kids whatever they want. even if it makes us cringe. but, considering the allegations of abuse in the household, the state was justified in removing them from the home.

From what I know you can't name your child Nazi-killer or As$hole in this country either so yes, there are some restrictions on names. You can't name them Stop or Go or God or Evil either. There is a list of names that are not allowed. That Adolf's name is on that list, comes as no surprise. They misguided parents are the worst kind of abusers bc they are either very unconscious or they are dishonest about their hidden abuse towards the children. I hope they kids stay away and are getting healthy, loving care from someone.

I would say this is a country of free speech, but the ridiculous names are a form of abuse as those children will bear the ramifications of having those names for the rest of their lives or until they are old enough to change them legally. Bullying happens in the best of situations but naming your children so that is will happen is neglectful at best and abusive at worst. Unreal.
