Safety Concerns Over Baby Toddler Hitler & Sibs

2008_12_bhcake2.jpg Following up on news that little Adolf Hitler Campbell—of the birthday cake cause celebre—and his siblings JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell were removed from their parents' care and put into NJ state custody: The Express-Times reports, according to a Holland Township police sergeant, "New Jersey officials assured him it had nothing to do with the siblings' Nazi-inspired names"—"It was other matters." Parents Heath and Deborah Campbell are scheduled to appear at a hearing today. Last month, following the hubbub over his son's name, Heath Campbell told the Express-Times, "I'm sorry if I hurt the world but it's just a name to us. Maybe when he (Adolf Hitler Campbell) gets older they'll just see that he loves everybody and they'll say, 'You know, maybe we did misjudge.'"

Nice strikeout...babyhitler will appreciate it.

Thanks for changing the name to toddlerHitler. People on this forum wouldn't like our resident BabyHitler to be confused with this individual.

"I'm sorry if I hurt the world but it's just a name to us. Maybe when he (Adolf Hitler Campbell) gets older they'll just see that he loves everybody and they'll say, 'You know, maybe we did misjudge.'"

If it's no big deal, then why not change the kid's name? Obviously, it has some greater significance to the father otherwise he wouldn't be defending it so ardently. He certainly doesn't seem to be in any hurry to admit that he misjudged the reactions others would have.

yeah thanx. now to rub out infant hitler, terrible two's hitler and prepubescent hitler from the internets.

these animals should be caged.

So if it's just a name, what's his excuse for the swastika tattoos and Nazi boots(both proudly shown off to the news crews interviewing him for tv)??

The parents are douchebags.

The children were taken because the parents are obviously not competent.

this is america & this guy has a right to be a nazi & name his kid adolf hitler.

according to some of you, all the inner city kids with ridiculous made-up names also should be forced to have their names changed or taken away from their parents.

This is not a "ridiculous made-up name." This is a real name with a very bad history that everyone knows about. You seem to think that parents have unlimited rights where their children are concerned. Obviously, NJ begs to differ. I'd like to think the authorities would do something about anyone who named their kid, say, Fuck U. Smith or Shitforbrains Jones.

Really, this father is an unmitigated moron. He's doing his best to instill his own love for Hitler in the kid. I'm sure that given time, he'd have the kid believing that Hitler did no harm and that he loved everybody, too.

The best part is that his kids would never have been taken away if he didn't raise hell about that stupid birthday cake.

Wait, the father thinks that people have a problem with the KID? Srsly? No.

Anyone named George Bush should be taken away from their parents as well...

'You know, maybe we did misjudge.' Yes, maybe these aren't inbred hillbillies without the ability to distinguish between right and wrong, without the ability to adequately care for and nurture and love a child. Then again, maybe the father is simply a douche and the mother is immibilized with fear.

'You know, maybe we did misjudge.' Yes, maybe these aren't inbred hillbillies without the ability to distinguish between right and wrong, without the ability to adequately care for and nurture and love a child. Then again, maybe the father is simply a douche and the mother is immobilized with fear.

Any child not named Joshua, Jacob, or Matthew will be taken by the police and sent to bible camp.

This father is terribly dumb!
Every time he tries to make a point, he sinks more and more in the stupid shit he deems as reason. Very DUMB people this supremacists are...again stupid people should not procreate!

Sorry if I hurt the world? Wow, that's giving himself waaaay too much credit.

Nobody's judging your child you fucking dimwit bigoted prick -- they're judging you, the parents!!!! They're judging the idiots who named their kid Adolf Hitler, and you know what? They're right!

Hurt the world? The only one likely to be hurt by this are their children. Every child should have the right to a name that won't hold him or her up to public ridicule. If he wants

So far I haven't heard the reason for their removal. It has to be more than the birthday cake incident.

A cake from ShopRite? I'd want to be removed too.

I would hope that the reasons for the kids removal were legal and warranted, cause last i checked, this is still America. I'm not 'down with Hitler' but I'm also not down with thought crime. The kid can either legally change his name later, hide in shame, or a third party could seek to force the parents to do so thru a civil suit (bad precedent, btw)

It's pretty scary how quickly 'free thinking liberals' willingly support draconian actions blindly, and shows just how fragile the constitution really is.

News flash, racism is not illegal, hate crime is.

That said, they should've arrested ex red sock Coco Crisp's parents years ago.

There's no proof, nor even a claim either parent was negligent. Certifiably dumb, but not a bad one. Next, kids will be taken away from parents for eating wrong food/wearing synthetic clothing or similar inanity. Welcome to liberal totalitarian new age.
