Parents of Child Named Adolf Hitler Lose Fourth Newborn
A family who has garnered snip-its in the national spotlight over the past few years for naming their first born son after the man responsible for the Holocaust have lost their most recent newborn boy, Hons, as well.
According to the Lehigh Valley’s Express-Times, child welfare agents took the newborn around 7 p.m. Thursday night after the doctor who delivered the baby called the New Jersey Division of Youth and Family Services.
Heath and Deborah Campbell’s family came into the national spotlight for the first time in 2008. The Campbell’s were trying to get a personalized birthday cake with their sons name on it. The only problem was that the staff at the ShopRite shopping center in their Greenwich Township neighborhood refused to write or decorate the cake because the child’s name was Adolf Hitler.

Baby Hons was born around 2 a.m. after doctors induced labor Wednesday evening. He is the fourth child for the Campbell’s.
Adolf Hitler, JoyceLynn Aryan Nation and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie were taken into custody by authorities in 2009.
The hospital had local police officers, as well as hospital security, standing guard to make certain that Deborah Campbell had no contact with the infant.
"There's no legal binding court order," said Heath Campbell said. "It's basically a kidnapping, but they use different terms.”
The authorities told the express-times that they were not allowed to comment on active cases. An appeals court last year ruled that parents would not regain custody because both suffered from unspecified physical and psychological disabilities that put the children at serious risk. This was the reason that the family lost custody of the children in the first place along with reports of domestic abuse.
A court hearing to decide the fate of the newest Campbell child will be held today.
