Protecting Adolf Hitler Campbell

Were Nazi names enough reason for New Jersey to remove kids from their home?

What happened

New Jersey child protection officials removed 3-year-old Adolf Hitler Campbell and his two baby sisters from their home. The children and their parents made news last month when employees at a supermarket refused to put the boy’s name on a cake for his third birthday. A spokeswoman for the state's child welfare office said the agency gets involved only in cases of alleged abuse or neglect. “We would never remove a child simply based on their name,” she said.
