Quote:There was that whole 60's thing with kids named Peace, Love, Freedom, etc. Then you just have people naming their children with wacky names, like Moon Unit Zappa, or Pilot Inspektor Lee? How about those Rodriguez boys Rebel, Rocket, Racer and Rogue? What about the child named Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116?
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.
Quote:And, yes, unfortunately for societies control freaks, parents have still pretty much have unlimited rights. As far as I know the rules for children are 1) no abuse (which is what CPS must be inferring), and 2) must go to school.
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"?
Quote:Hitlerâs Mom Speaks Out, Defies Court Order Or, in other words, the state takes away your children without giving you a reason, orders you to remain silent on the case, and then stalls on the hearings until they can find some legal case against you. Sounds like the tactics of a totalitarian state to me.
(EDIT: Fair enough, the judge did issue a gag order, which she broke.)
It is worth noting that the mother is also either a lunatic or a liar:
Quote:Deborah insists they are not part of the Aryan Nation or fans of what Hitler is famous for and said the swastika tattoo her husband displays on his arm is simply art.
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.
