See, that's my take, Jessica. I mean, I think they're awful people based on the kids' names alone, but taking the kids away without explanation? Smacks of thought police to me or something.
Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

HOLLAND TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) — Police say three New Jersey siblings whose names have Nazi connotations have been placed in the custody of the state.
Holland Township Police Sgt. John Harris says workers from the state Division of Youth and Family Services on Tuesday 3-year-old Adolf Hitler Campbell and his younger sisters, JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell from their home Tuesday.
Harris says family services did not tell police the reason the children were removed. Agency spokeswoman Kate Bernyk says it does not comment on specific cases.
There don't seem to be any details other than that yet.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Whoa. Don't know how that happened. Sorry. I'm willing to bet it's not the names that got the kids removed. But I guarantee bringing news crews into your house is inviting closer scrutiny.

You're probably right.

You're probably right.
I wish they'd released some details, though. Don't they usually? Like, when they find the kids who have been starved or chained up?
Again, not that I don't think they're most likely disgusting people and horrible parents.

I wonder if they'll try to get little Adolf to change his name. The girls at least have normal first or middle names (JoyceLynn and Jeannie) they can use, but I can't imagine trying to explain to a 3 year-old "Well, your mommy and daddy named you after one of the worst mass-murderers in history...how would you like to be called Bill from now on?"

Don't they usually?
I think what is released is the (public) information of what the parents may be (criminally) charged with. I don't think that if the parents have lost custody temporarily so that the family can go through counseling there's any obligation to release that information. I can't believe this isn't still in a "temporary" category because it usually takes a lot (time, hearings) to completely lose custody of your children.
