Remember the post about parents that named their kid Adolf Hitler and got into trouble when they tried to order a birthday cake? Well, here's an update. New Jersey Children's Services has just taken the kids into custody:
The three-year-old boy and his two sisters - JoyceLynn Aryan Nation, 1, and 8-month-old Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie - were removed from their home by New Jersey's Division of Youth and Family Services.
So far no officially reason has been given for the intervention, and local police say they have not received any reports of abuse or negligence.

Why? Because they were doomed from the start. They have parents who don't work (and I will guess that the parents will fight whatever attempt the state makes to force them into being employed), obviously come from a low income background, and from hearing the parents and aunt speak,a poor educational background.
All that is bad enough, but you can overcome it. I had all that going against me as a child in a tiny coal mining town, but I managed to get out of there and make something of myself.
However, I did not have the giant millstone of a ridiclous name around my neck. That makes it so much worse for these kids on so many levels....If the idiot father wanted to show 'ethnic pride', why didn't he use Scottish names for his children? Campbell is Scottish after all.
William Wallace Campbell...There's a name that looks good on a job application.
Adolph Hitler Campbell...Makes you look like an a-hole on a job application.
Heck, name the boy after B-movie great Bruce Campbell for that matter. That will give him cred in geek circles later in life at least.
