It's Just A Name, Right??

[Muddy]

It was a lot more than their names that got them removed. I work with kids, many who come from abusive backgrounds, I pray these kids didn't see what many have, it's the young ones that break my heart and keep me going in this field. For them to get yanked it can't be good, at least they will find some peace and safety now.

Well my hats off to ya Muddy. My wife has done a lot of work with disabled kids and at least 3/4 of them come from homes that are VERY poor. Of those a rather large percentage are in home with abuse or neglect of some kind. Part of her job requires her to report stuff she sees to DSS, and she just about has them on speed dial for how much she talks to them. I have no idea where folks who do those jobs get the patience or self restraint to not strangle the life out of some of these people posing as parents. Add to that, a salary that in most states is nothing to be impressed over, and you really got to admire the dedication for the folks who do these jobs.

You're right though, considering how bad it has to get to take kids out of a home in most cases that my wife has called on, it had to be pretty bad for them to act like this.

The new Tom Cruise movie must be tanking. Mainstream media is gobbling this up. Could they be trying to get more people to the theaters?  :

Justice?  More like a huge load of BS.

Wow, we don't like the names you gave your children, so we're taking them for the good of the state.

[tallydude]

I don't believe the story listed the reason the children were taken.

idk i kind of agree with this, first of let me say that i think its horrible to name your children after these people but unless they were taken away from their parents because they were in danger doesnt that just go against many of the ideas this nation was founded on?  :-/

Think about it.  A parent who would be so callous as to name their children after famous Nazis must have a lifestyle that would not be conducive to the healthy upbringing of a child. The publicity of the birthday cake probably turned the attention of the DHHS to the Campbells, and it's obvious the authorities didn't like what they found.

Long Mike i see what your saying and completely agree that the parents most likely did not take proper care of their children based on the names they gave them. however the article did not state why the authorities took custody of the kids which leaves the door open to the possibillity of it being based on there names alone, which i do not agree with as much as i dislike the names.

That's like somebody wearing a shirt that says "I smoke weed",given the suspicious behavior a tip off to narcotic officers.

It's your freedom to wear it,just don't complain when you get you butt thrown in jail because you actually had illegal substances on you. People are dumb nowadays and that gets them caught.  :

As much as I hate to, I have to agree with you Fish Man.  If the law allows the parents to practice their beliefs, then how can we remove the children of those parents just because of their names.

C'mon guys.  Do you SERIOUSLY believe DSHS would remove a child from its parents simply because they didn't like his name?

Think about it.

I can't think.  It's 56 degrees here and I'm wrapped in a bundle of blankets...But no, I can't imagine them being removed based on their names alone.  Although I don't have much faith in DCF.

I don't think for a second that the kids were taken JUST because of their names.  I think, as others have mentioned, that it was just what got the ball rolling for other things to be discovered.

Reading this story reminded me about a kid I grew up with.  His given name was Lucifer Scott _____ (I can't recall his last name right now, but it's not important anyway...).  His Mom was kind of odd, but he told me once that she liked the meaning of the name, which is "Bringer of Light".  By the time we were teens, he started going by Scott.  I always called him Luci. or Luc. (pronounced "loose") though.  

I always thought that would be a bad one to be saddled with, but this is even worse.

Fishman, in most states they are not allowed to give the reason to the press. At the very least it is improper to do so. Any reason behind takng them is at this point still a alleged offense. It is still an ongoing investigation and commenting on details of an invesitgation can compromise your ability to conduct the investigation and/or prosecute the accused. In addition, the rights and privacy of the children come ahead of the general publics need to know what happened.

I can tell you in 99% of cases, DSS does not take children away unless they see something that they feel represents a significant threat to their health and safety.

I cannot imagine they would or could just because of their names. it owuld be so quickly overturned and they would get in so much legal trouble for it, I would not believe they would be that dumb.

What is most likely, is these guys hitting the news, with thtier kids names, their affinity for Nazi memorobilia (he was wearing nazi boots in one of his interviews), and some of the other stuff on the new turned DSS onto him. There may have also been a complaint of some kind from a neighbor, teacher, etc which DSS is required to investigate. They saw something during tha investigation which they did not like and felt was an immediate threat to the children. It is rare DSS would take such a drastic move without something significant being wrong.

There's one in Denton, Texas with the last name "Finger" (no kidding, some of my wife's friends go to see him).

Just last night after looking at the business card of my physical therapy clinic, I noticed one of the two therapist's last names is "Sippi".

And, yes, she is married, making her "Mrs. Sippi".  My wife and I got a good laugh out of that.

There was one in Greenwoodlake NY : Doctor Vincent Dominic Savino

his plaque outside read: Dr. VD Savino,, come on he had to know

My wife's gynecologist back in Louisville was Dr. Hyman.  We also had a Dr. Needleman.

My former Optometrist was "Dr. Smiley" I'm sure he got razzed about not becoming a dentist...

C'mon guys. Do you SERIOUSLY believe DSHS would remove a child from its parents simply because they didn't like his name?

Think about it.

It was the Boots he wore, that's what got my attention. I'm thinking the whole time why would he have a pair of WWII German boots. He has probably got a lot of other stuff around also that the DSHS felt that it was not in the child's best interest to be raised around.

this will be my last post on this thread but if the DSHS took custody of the children for their parents possible Nazi beliefs its still wrong. im not trying to defend these peoples beliefs or actions because they are idolizing some horrible people but if they do in fact have the same beliefs as the Nazi's that is still not a valid reason to take away their kids. like it or not their beliefs are no better or worse than ours. the fact is our country was founded on freedom of speech and these people have the same rights as you and me and honestly is this really any different than these kids being raised in a really strong liberal or conservative family?

Unless these kids were actually in danger of being hurt, killed or abused i dont really see how the parents beliefs come into it other than maybe attracting attention. sorry if you dont agree with me just my 2 cents and im out  :-X

[Glenn]

I think the last part of you post was the reason they were taken.  Anything else = lawsuit.  Doubtful DSHS is that stupid.
