17 hours after their fourth child was born.. state officials took their baby after the doctor reported them for the name chosen.

the campbell`s other children have spent the last two years in foster care due to the states disapproval of the names their parents chose to give them. the state denies this was the reason for taking the children into protective custody.. but the campbell`s have already been vindicated on charges of abuse and neglect.. so WHY are these children still in state care? and WHY have they taken yet another of their children right after his birth?
regardless of what you may feel about these peoples beliefs, this is sposed to be a FREE nation! this isnt the first family state officials have decided to seperate due to deeming what the children were named as "abusive". this recidulousness needs to stop.
any state workers that can explain this as legal and necessary, please do

That is horrible.
I admit it is a poor taste to give their children names like that. But that is their choice.
Assuming the state was right about abuse and neglect of the older two kids, that cannot be said about a newborn, can it?
I am still trying to read more about the family, but from what I've read so far, they don't seem to be doing anything wrong.

If they have already lost children due to abuse then they are going to be under scrutiny when any other children are born and they should be if there really was abuse. We all know people that we've said just should not be allowed to procreate! I agree that whatever a parent chooses to name their child is their choice. Parents have named their kids some pretty crazy names and not been questioned...Moon Zapper, Wolf Van Halen, etc etc. I think I would have to assume that there is more going on in this case then just the name choice. Adolph Hitler...what kind of personality would choose to name a child after someone so hated? I really think this goes deeper then the name itself.

After reading more on different websites, it seems that there was enough evidence to show that the parents are abusive. The state seems to be right on this one.
However, not knowing the full story - with the gag order on the case, I don't know. May be the state is going a little extreme because of the names, but it seems it is not just the names.

Thinking somewhat abstract here, maybe even naming the kid Adolf Hitler can be constituted as a form of abuse. Imagine, as he grows up and going into school, the things he'll have to endure from not only classmates, but teachers too. With a name like that, he'll be facing a lot of prejudice in life.

I'm glad, what a joke. How an idiot would like to call their kids as a nazi, as one of the most evil man of all times? They are just showing their support and how racist they are.
It discusts me someone still supports nazism, they should go to jail.

Well, first of all, I don't think that it is a good thing at all that so many people refer to these parents as Adolf Hitler's parents. That in and of itself is terrible, yes, that is the name that they decided to give their son and yes there are a lot of people that don't agree with giving that name to their child. However, I think that there are deeper issues as to why their children have been taken away from them beyond just the names that their children have. These issues are probably something that will never be publicly known.

I do not think that their choice of names is good for their children, especially since it is the children that will have to face the controversy regarding their names. However, I do not think this is abuse, either ... more like a very poor choice. I suspect that the fact the other three children have been taken from them and not yet returned to them is the reason that the newborn was also taken. If they are still being investigated or have been found to be abusive, then I believe that the state will take further children out of their care - that just makes sense.

The Campbells don't stike me as overburdened with intelligence. Quite frankly I think they are a couple of morons, not for naming their kids that way (whatever) but to then draw attention to themselves with the cake incident and expect anything other than villification.
They probably aren't the worst parents to their kids directly but they are unthinking and selfish - but if that was a reason to take kids away from their parents we'd be removing probably 50% of them. Most of the problem is that they are unthinking and selfish in a way that is obvious rather than the more socially acceptable or hidden ways that damage kids.

Hi Tessah,
I would hope they wouldn't remove a child from the parents based on the name alone. I have to think that there is more to this story that can not be released due to privacy issues. I am thinking that the names they gave their children are probably just a byproduct of something much more serious?? There isn't enough info to really say for sure. I do have wonder why any parent would give their child a name like Adolph Hitler. I would be very curious to hear the reasoning, As for taking the baby 17 hours after birth....again, not enough info. I do know that doctors and nurses watch how parents interact and how they are with newborns. I guess we'll have to wait for the court hearing. Are they even trying to ge back the kids they lost? Did they change Adolph's name? If not then I suspect there was more to the story then just the name.
