3 Children removed from NJ parents

[kandrathe]

And Frank Zappa's kids, as best I can tell, grew up just fine, and out of danger, although the one time I saw Moon Unit on celebrity rock and roll jeopardy, she was apparently clueless. The point here is that Frank Zappa named his kids to be unusual. He did not transform them into walking symbols representing one of the most hateful and hated groups in history, then drive them to school in the Nazimobile. I'm not saying there should be a naming register, but at a certain point, there might well be a case that the parents are endangering their kids with their antics.

I don't disagree that Zappa's intention were more playful, but what law was broken by naming your kid Adolf Hitler, or putting swastika's on your car? Or, for that matter, actually being devotees of Richard G. Butler?

Negligent behaviour is illegal, which is what I presume is what they are pursuing, if not something more serious. (Again, what do we know about this case? Next to nothing.) Perhaps it has to do with the relative threatening to "firebomb the house"?

If there is negligent behavior, then make the charge so that the accused can begin to defend themselves. Luckily I have no crazy relatives or enemies who want to fire bomb my house, but would I not be the victim to be defended by the state rather than the person acted against by the state.

It is worth noting that the mother is also either a lunatic or a liar:

Well, they are both on the lunatic fringe, certainly.

Sure. And little baby Joycelynn Aryan Nation was named after her great-grandfather, John Quincy Aryan Nation McDonald. The swastika is also a coincidence, one of those college things you do. The woman is clearly fruit loops, and while that's not necessarily reason to take her kids away, it certainly doesn't make the rest of her statements very believable.

You know, there are satanists who name their babies Lucifer, or worse, but you don't really hear about the state removing their kids much. Maybe they do, and it just doesn't make the national news. It really doesn't matter why they named their children as they did. Did they break any law? We don't know because the state refuses to state their case.
