Adolph Hitler, JoyceLynn Aryan Nation and Honszlynn Hinler Campbell Taken into State Custody

It was just last month the world was introduced to Adolph Hitler, JoyceLynn Aryan Nation, and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell after Adolph Hitler's parents raised a fuss about his birthday cake. The family was denied service by a New Jersey ShopRite store who refused to inscriAdolph Hitler Campbell and Sisters Removed from Home by Police

Not even a month later, Adolph Hitler Campbell, 3, JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell, almost 2, and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell, almost 1, have been removed from the care of parents Heath and Deborah Campbell. The Nazi-named children were taken into the custody of New Jersey's Division of Youth and Family Services (DYFS), according to MSNBC.com.

While the spokesperson for DYFS refused to comment on the specifics of the Adolph Hitler Campbell case, Kate Bernyk told FOXNews.com the state's "decision to remove a child is based on the safety and well being of the child and the risk to that child, and that decision is made in conjunction with the courts and the county family court judge."

Is naming your child 'Hitler' considered child abuse?

After the initial news story broke regarding the Adolph Hitler birthday cake, many people have weighed in on whether naming a child 'Hitler' is considered child abuse.

Adolph Hitler Campbell's father Heath defended his son's unusual moniker, claiming it was unique.

FOXNews.com consulted forensic psychologist N.G. Berrill, who said naming a child Hitler could be considered child abuse. DYFS spokesperson Kate Bernyk, according to FOXNews.com, said the Campbell children were not removed from their parents' home simply based on Adolph Hitler's name.

I'm all for unusual names as my children both bear names people don't hear everyday, but to name a child after Adolph Hitler and Heinrich Himmler, men who were responsible for the Holocaust, is reckless at the very least.

One German Citizen's Perspective

I was interested in how a German citizen would feel about the Campbells naming their children Adolph Hitler, JoyceLynn Aryan Nation and Honszlynn Hinler. I contacted my photographer friend, Carl Müller from Nuremberg, Germany, and asked him what he thought.Adolph Hitler Campbell and Sisters Removed from Home by Police

"I just feel sorry for the children. Giving them the names of the worst criminals in history will always be a burden for them. Whoever does that must be an idiot at best, probably insane," he said.

NJ dad who named kids after Nazis decries removal

NEWARK, N.J. - The father of three children who have names associated with Nazis is accusing the state Division of Youth and Family Services of taking his children under false pretenses and says one of the kids appeared neglected when he saw them last week.

Heath Campbell told The Associated Press on Saturday that he and his wife, Deborah, have been allowed to see their children once since state child welfare workers removed them from the family's home on Jan. 9.

Campbell said his 2-year-old daughter, JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell, appeared sick and had a runny nose and dirty diaper when he and his wife visited the children last week under the supervision of state social workers.

DYFS has not said why JoyceLynn and siblings Adolf Hitler Campbell, 3, and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell, who will be 1 in April, were removed. Kate Bernyk, a DYFS spokeswoman, said Saturday that confidentiality laws prevent the agency from commenting on specific cases.

Campbell said the agency told him the children were taken because they were in "imminent danger," but he believed the removal was spurred by publicity surrounding the children's names.

"In three years, they've never been involved with us," he said, referring to DYFS. "They said it's not about the newspaper articles, but they took them because of their names. I don't care what anybody says."

The family made headlines in December when a ShopRite supermarket in Greenwich, near the family's home in Holland Township, refused to decorate a birthday cake with their son's name.

A Wal-Mart in Pennsylvania wound up decorating the cake, but the resulting publicity put the family under media scrutiny. Heath Campbell said he and his wife are staying with relatives because neighbors and others are harassing them.

Police in Holland Township are investigating a mailed death threat that was received by a woman whose last name is Campbell but is not related the couple.

A hearing in Hunterdon County family court was postponed earlier this month because the Campbells were unable to retain a lawyer. Heath Campbell said Saturday they still have not done so.
