In 2008, Heath and Deborah Campbell of Phillipsburg, New Jersey were denied a request by Shop-Rite to put their son's name on a birthday cake. The couple thought their son’s name, Adolf Hitler Campbell, was unique, and they liked the way it sounded.
A New Jersey appeals court disagrees.
Adolf Hitler Campbell, 5, Aryan Nation Campbell, 4, and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell, 3, had been taken from their homes and put into foster care in January 2009. The appeals court denied the Campbells custody of their three children.
According to Mail Online, in 2010, a New Jersey appeals court ruled that there was evidence of abuse or neglect in the Campbell’s home due to prior domestic violence. Court records stated that both of the children's parents had been victims of childhood abuse themselves and suffered from unspecified physical and psychological disabilities.
In January 2009, the Campbells said that little Adolf Hitler Campbell is just like other 3-year-old boys.
“It's not like he's growing up to be a killer or nothing like that," Deborah Campbell told myfoxphilly.com. But court records showed that Adolf has frequently threatened to kill people.
The New York Daily News reported that the Campbells picketed outside of the Division of Youth and Family Services office in Flemington on Tuesday, saying that their children were taken because of their names.
According to the International Business Times, the Campbell household is covered in swastikas, but the family says they are not neo Nazis, calling the swastika “art.” A court will decide in early December if the Campbells will regain custody of their children.
