I can’t wait to see what Adolf has to say about this on You Tube:
New Jersey parents have lost custody of a son they named Adolf Hitler, as well as daughters Jocelynn Aryan Nation and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie. The Appeals court ruling overturned a family court decision, and found that the parents suffer from unspecified physical and psychological disabilities. Heath and Deborah Campbell were victims of childhood abuse and neither “have received adequate treatment for their serious psychological conditions,” the ruling stated. The parents “recklessly created a risk of serious injury to their children by failing to protect them from harm and failing to treat their disabilities,” the judges ruled.
They cited a typo-riddled note written by Adolf Hitler’s mom and slipped to a neighbor warning that her husband had threatened to kill her, reports AP.
Custody battles can be devastating to a child. This means 3-year-old Adolf might not be able to play in the playground anymore with his friend Benito Mussolini, although if he has to move he he’ll be spared being frustrated in the future by that kid Joe Stalin, and particularly by the boy in the wheelchair named Franklin Roosevelt. Little Adolf was pitchforked into the headlines last year when a supermarket refused to decorate a birthday cake with Adolf’s name on it.
FOOTNOTE: I don’t know why but somehow I get the feeling given the name of Adolf and his siblings that they won’t be bar mitzvahed.
