Catching up with Clan Campbell

About a month ago, I wrote about a New Jersey couple with three children named Adolph Hitler Campbell, JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell, and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell. At the time, much to several people's consternation, I said: "I suppose it's too much for which to hope that Child Protective Services sees the story (along with the accompanying photo gallery of the Campbell's Nazified home) and removes those poor kids now while they only need a decade of intensive therapy."

Well, apparently it wasn't too much for which to hope after all:
Police say three New Jersey siblings whose names have Nazi connotations have been placed in the custody of the state.

Holland Township Police Sgt. John Harris says workers from the state Division of Youth and Family Services on Tuesday removed 3-year-old Adolf Hitler Campbell and his younger sisters, JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell from their home Tuesday.

Harris says family services did not tell police the reason the children were removed. Agency spokeswoman Kate Bernyk says it does not comment on specific cases.
Children can't be removed from homes just because their parents picked their names from the Big Book of Parenting Fuckery, and they can't be removed from homes just because their parents are racists, either. So it's very likely the Campbell children were removed for some other additional misfortune, like malnourishment or abuse. Poor kids.
