Four children, ages 7 to 14, have been forcibly taken from their home by police armed with a battering ram, and their parents have been told they won’t see them again soon, all over the issue of homeschooling, according to a stunning new report from the Home School Legal Defense Association.
HSLDA, the world’s premiere advocate for homeschoolers, said the family of Dirk and Petra Wunderlich has battled for several years Germany’s World War II-era requirement that all children submit to the indoctrination programs in the nation’s public schools.
The shocking raid was made solely because the parents were providing their children’s education. HSLDA discovered the paperwork that authorized police officers and social workers to use force on the children contained no claims of mistreatment.
“The children were taken to unknown locations,” HSLDA said. “Officials ominously promised the parents that they would not be seeing their children anytime soon.”
The raid, which took place Thursday at 8 a.m. as the children were beginning their day’s classes, has been described by observers as “brutal and vicious.”
A team of 20 social workers, police and special agents stormed the family’s Darmstadt, Germany, home. HSLDA reported a Judge Koenig, who is assigned to the Darmstadt family court, signed an order authorizing the immediate seizure of the children by force.
“Citing the parents’ failure to cooperate ‘with the authorities to send the children to school,’ the judge also authorized the use of force ‘against the children’ … reasoning that such force might be required because the children had ‘adopted the parents’ opinions’ regarding homeschooling and that ‘no cooperation could be expected’ from either the parents or the children,” HSLDA said.

Coming to a home school in America.
The leftwing statists need to be smacked down hard & soon.
S crew em.
Nazi’s
No exaggeration in your statement one bit.
If the sodomites get their way with the state (and they will), any parent who opposes homosexuality, either actively or passively, will be deemed an abuse threat and have their children forcibly removed from them. The Demonic-rats are already hinting at this ardent wish of theirs; soon, they will be abundantly open about it.
And our despots in D. Cl have just revoked the right of a German Christian family to live in TN, where the had fled when the German government threatened to take their children away because they were homeschooling them on religious grounds.
Mexicans can flood this country, citing the fear of persecution by drug cartels and the government grants them asylum, but these German Christians get no sympathy from our godless government.
Father God,
I pray for this family so cruelly treated by their government. Father, may kindness and mercy be present wherever the children are being held. Comfort the parents and give them strength, fortitude for the fight ahead, helpful publicity, legal assistance and funding. May they all resort to prayer in every uncertain moment, and rest assured of Your everpresent help in time of need.
Please, Father of All, in the absence of any kind of abuse by parents in Your judgment, help Christians and other homeschoolers in Germany, the United States and elsewhere to uphold their parental rights to instruct their children. Convict the hearts of Angela Merkel, Eric Holder and all other officials who wish to substitute the cold strictures of government for the loving arms of parents and the community of Christians in the lives of children.
We lift up to you especially this family the Wunderlichs, and also the German family the Romeikes who have sought asylum in the United States in their appeals case for religious freedom for themselves and their children.
In Jesus’ Holy Name,
Amen.
How?
How does one actually get up at 6AM, dress for war, batter the door of a home down (probably yelling, "GO ..GO ..GO .."), surrounding a petrified family and just TAKING the kids ?
Someone explain to me how a group of human beings can be so numb to crying children, pleading parents, ...take a look around you ... does this look like a torture chamber or sexually perverted castle?
I'll NEVER get government sycophants
Time for Germans to start killing.
Christians - time to wake up and get working. Think. Connect. Motivate. Say a prayer and then get going.
Only some states. My state of Tennessee has taken a hard U-turn against liberalism in the past ten years.
Unless in lock down my kids would be home by noon or an alternate agreed location.
Well, we'll see if they're serious enough about your marriage amendment to put a smack-down on the town of Collegedale, which just began recognizing out of state same-sex "marriages" for city employees. I'm hoping they will, but don't expect much of an offense to be mounted.
Meanwhile the kids will be given to the care of Muslim child molesters or something
Yup, demoncrats just like the German government believe that our children belong to the State and will brook no interference with a child’s indoctrination.
Mexicans bring with them a drug culture, a crime culture, a culture unwilling to adapt to it's new country. Germans like the ones pictured above are highly intelligent and adaptable to new situations.
Can't have that around here!

Like anything else in life - they do it one step at a time, year after year, decade after decade, working on themselves, pushing and pushing away from the light.
A snarky comment here, a mocking smile there, a betrayal over here, a backstabbing over there, a bootlicking over here, a calculation over there...
Then "before you know it," one day they're trying to figure out whether shooting the dog in front of the child, or breaking the father's jaw with a baton or tazing the mother while ripping the baby out of their hands, will be better to get the promotion to detective.
Conservatives need to form a mercenary army.
Callous, badge adoring, power seekers...
