German Officials Abduct Homeschooled Kids from Parents

Government authorities in Germany have abducted the
children of another home schooling family. Witnesses described the
abduction as "brutal and vicious."
A team of German police officers with a battering
ram stormed the residence of the Wunderlich family. The raid near
Darmstadt last week took all four of the family's children into state
custody.
The only legal grounds were that the parents, Dirk
and Petra Wunderlich, continued to home school their children. There
were no other allegations of abuse or neglect. A German family court
judge authorized the police to use force against the children if they
resisted.
Behind the raid was the notorious Jugendamt or Youth
Office. Many of the German parents who have run afoul of the Jugendamt
have had their lives shattered. They've been in and out of court and
have been fined thousands of euros. Some have been thrown in jail, and
some have lost their children.
Why is Germany obsessed with wiping out
home schooling? CBN News Sr. International Reporter Dale Hurd has
covered in-depth the plight of several homeschooling families in Europe.
He explains more of what's going on in this case, on Christian World
News, Sept. 6.
A few years ago the Wunderlichs fled Germany to avoid such a scenario. But the need for employment necessitated their return.
In an interview in Berlin last year, Dirk Wunderlich
said he was prepared to go to jail rather than send his children to
school. "But I'm not afraid of this," he said. "I'm only sad for my
family. I will go (to jail) laughing. You can do what you want, but my
children will not go to school."
The founder of the Home School Legal Defense
Association, Michael Farris, called the Wunderlich children's abduction
"an outrageous act of a rogue nation."
This is not an isolated incident.
The Romeike family also fled the German government's
persecution of homeschoolers and were granted asylum in America by an
immigration judge. But the Obama administration wants the Romeikes sent
back to Germany, where they could face the same fate as the
Wunderlich's.
Witnesses said when Petra Wunderlich tried to give
her daughter a kiss and hug goodbye, one of the officers pushed her away
and said, "It's too late for that."
The children were taken to unknown locations and
officials told the parents they would not be seeing their children
"anytime soon."

This
is scary... Really scary. I do pray the kids will be returned safe and
sound to their parents, but unfortunately we know what the chances of
this are with the German government...
Germany
is not a rogue country. In Germany children HAVE TO GO to school, it's
the LAW. So if you choose to live in Germany you have to abide by the
law. If you don't like the public schools, send them to a christian
school, but it has to be a school. That ensures that all children have
the same cha... View More..
Marie, a concise and well stated argument indeed. Well done!
Your
Message...There is a deeper reason for taking children from parents in
Germany than home schooling. It happened to me. The Jugendamt is famous
for that. In 2009 they took my grandchildren fom their mother
and already had a foster home that they were going to send them too. The
foster ... View More..
