German State Abducts Home-Schooled Teen
The totalitarian impulse is still alive and well in politically correct Germany, where 15-year-old Melissa Busekros was abducted from her home in a SWAT-style police operation because her parents were home-schooling her.
Melissa was actually abducted twice. The first time, they took her to a psychiatrist, who diagnosed her with the dreaded disease "school phobia." The second time, she was actually put in a mental hospital for having the wrong attitude. Joseph Stalin would be pleased to see his techniques being emulated.
Melissa's devotion and obedience to her father were also considered evidence of a mental disorder. Oblivious to irony, Germany's despotic and fascist-like bureaucrats had this to say in an evaluation:
[Melissa Busekros is] a highly disturbed girl who obediently and faithfully obeys the idealistic statements of her father and who describes the State as being despotic and "fascist-like." […] Melissa demonstrates loyalty towards her father and unconditional solidarity with her family.
As the family's attorney Gabriela Eckermann told a judge:
For the Erlangen Youth Welfare Office, 15 year olds only seem to be "normal" if they live according to their own wishes … if they do not love their parents … but … rebel against them [and] cooperate with … the police, court, youth welfare office and experts … against their own parents.
This is all in keeping with the grand tradition of the German Youth Welfare Office (aka Jugendamt) during the Nazi era, when the almighty State used it to expropriate even people's children.
Melissa is now with a foster family at a secret location. Bureaucrats allow her family to see her one hour per week.
On a tip from White Cane.

Little boxes on the hillside, Little boxes made of tickytacky
Little boxes on the hillside, little boxes all the same
There's a green one and a pink one and a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same.
And the people in the houses all went to the university
Where they were put in boxes and they came out all the same,
And there's doctors and there's lawyers, and business executives
And they're all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same.
And they all play on the golf course and drink their martinis dry,
And they all have pretty children and the children go to school
And the children go to summer camp and then to the university
Where they are put in boxes and they come out all the same.
And the boys go into business and marry and raise a family
In boxes made of ticky tacky and they all look just the same.

I read this article yesterday, and what struck me was how the irony escapes Germans that Hitler was the one who instituted state-run schooling.

I guess Germany has taken Frau Clinton's words to heart, and now the children are the official property of 'The Village.'

It takes a village to raise an idiot...

"Melissa demonstrates loyalty towards her father and unconditional solidarity with her family."
Now theres a good excuse to take someone's daughter from them.

CAUTION America -
This totalitarianism is coming to America, brought to you by the progressive liberal agenda and the NEA.
Do your part to sway the tide. Go out and slap a liberal (hard), today. Inform them they are utter, complete, total, absolute, overt, obvious, plain as day, stoopid FREAKING idiots!

I would like to see the present Jugendamt do this to some Arab family in Hamburg or Berlin.

The progressive liberal agenda is not progressive or liberal. The are regressive totalitarians.

You can expect that to reach American shores before too long. To the Left and NEA, every kid not in a public school is money they're losing. Every kid not in public school is mind they can't corrupt with their socialist and anti-American beliefs. Every kid not in public school is one less potential moonbat to refill their ranks.
I wouldn't put it past the Left, the NEA, and the ACLU to begin working (if they aren't already) on getting home schooling declared illegal here in the States.

The abduction of Melissa by the State is wrong. In the UK parents have the right to chooswe as whether or not their children are to be home schooled. This kind of freedom is very valuable to all Uk citizens. The attitude of the German State smacks of fascism.

This kind of freedom is very valuable to all Uk citizens.
One would have thought the British would feel the same way about the right of self-defense, but they rather willingly gave that up when the state demanded it.

Hitler said, "...but my spirit will rise from the grave, and the world will know that I was right."
Regressive totalitarians are dressed as liberals or progressives or federalists or wahabbis or militant homosexuals or criminal illegals or misguided muslims around the world.
I think that only Almighty God can deliver us from these demonic hordes that want to consume us.
