Four children, ages 7 to 14, have been forcibly taken from their
Darmstadt, Germany 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 advocates of 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 said. The organization noted that
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 am as the children were
beginning their day’s classes, has been described as “brutal and vicious.”
A team of 20 social workers, police and special agents stormed
the family’s 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 parent’s 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.
Dirk Wunderlich told the homeschool group: “The police shoved me
into a chair and wouldn’t let me even make a phone call at first. It was
chaotic as they told me they had an order to take the children. At my slightest
movement the agents would grab me, as if I were a terrorist. You would never
expect anything like this to happen in our calm, peaceful village. It was like
a scene out of a science fiction movie. Our neighbors and children have been
traumatized by this invasion.
Human Rights Violations
Michael Farris, HSLDA founder, said in a report the actions
violated a number of established European precedents, including provisions of
the European Convention of Human Rights.
Michael Ferris continues,
“The right to homeschool is a human right,” he said, “and so is
the right to freely move and to leave a country. Germany has grossly violated
these rights of this family.”
“This latest act of seizing these four beautiful innocent
children is an outrageous act of a rogue nation.”
Ferris said the US Constitution is “not alone in upholding the
right of parents to decide how to educate their children.”
“Germany is a party to numerous human rights treaties that
recognize the right of parents to provide an education distinct from the public
schools so that the children can be educated according to the parents’
religious convictions," he said.
“Germany has simply not met its obligations under these treaties,
or as a liberal democracy. HSLDA and I will do whatever we can to help this
family regain custody of their children and ensure that they are safe from this
persecution. This case demonstrates conclusively why the Romeike asylum case is
so important. Families in Germany need a safe place where they can educate their
children in peace.”
As WND reported, the Romeike case has been submitted to the US
Supreme Court. In 2010, an immigration judge granted asylum in the US to the
family, which fled Germany because their children were forced to go to public
schools.
The Obama administration, unhappy with the outcome, appealed and
obtained an order from a higher court that the family must return to Germany.
The Obama administration has argued in court that parents essentially have no
right to determine how and what their children are taught, leaving the
authority with the government.
Commentary:
Without a miracle, these children are fatally wounded and severely
traumatized in their spirit. Do you suppose the devils who are holding
them care that they are grieving for their parents and they will never
be the same, until they are returned home safely? They appear to be as
evil and dastardly as Hitler in his day. Apparently, the German
government hasn't changed.
Isn’t it interesting that if these parents were
abusing their children, beating them, or possibly even giving them drugs and/or
alcohol, only a few police would have gone to their home, seriously; but these
are two Christian parents who love their children and want to raise them in
the admonition of the Lord, and not allow them to be indoctrinated into a
Socialist, immoral and unGodly mindset, so 20 social workers, police and special
agents show up with a battering ram, no less, to break down the door!
Barack Obama and his Socialist cohorts, along with our now
mostly Socialist Congress, also intend to take away the rights of the American
people. They are as wicked as the German government and the same devil is working in all of them.
A Socialist global government is in the making, friends. These people are cold and ruthless and
they intend harm. We need to understand that it takes a certain type of demonic
influence in leaders and government officials to intentionally go after a family like the Wunderlichs and Romeikes,
knowing full well that if the Romeikes return to Germany, their children will be taken
away from them too.
America needs to wake up! This is tyranny, folks, and it
not only affects the Christian families in Germany, but the implications are
the very same for American citizens.
The Word of God tells us that Christians will be hated by all
nations in the last days, and a global dictator (antichrist) will rule the
world,
“You shall be hated of all men for My name’s sake, but he who
endures to the end shall be saved” Matthew 10:22.
“He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and
bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads, that no man
might buy or sell, save he who has the mark, the name of the beast
(antichrist), or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has
understanding count the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man and
his number is six hundred, sixty-six” Revelation 13:16-18.
A global government is in preparation now
and we are rapidly moving toward a world dictatorship, headed by the antichrist.
Jesus said,
“Then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the
beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be” Matthew 24:21.
The tribulation that is headed our way will make the holocaust
pale in comparison. The Lord will return for His people before this happens,
according to the scriptures (Isaiah
26:19-21; Nahum
1:2; Romans
1:18; Romans
5:9; 1
Thessalonians 1:10; 1
Thessalonians 4:16-18.
