Adolf Hitler taken into custody!

I had a post about what's in a name recently. Some people don't like their names, others are quite happy. I once remarked to my wife that nobody is called Napoleon, only to see a chap on Dutch TV called Napoleon Smit. Now it is reported that the authorities in New Jersey have taken exception to the name Adolf Hitler for a three year old boy. That's right, Adolf Hitler Campbell. They are afraid he might grow up to be some kind of Scottish-American Nazi! Heaven help us.

This all came to prominence because the parents went to a ShopRite supermarket in Greenwich, New Jersey and the cake decorators refused to inscribe Adolf Hitler Campbell's name on a cake for his third birthday.

The child protection unit say it's not about the name, but they won't say what is the real reason for seizing the child. I suppose they couldn't do it just on a name only. There are some pretty weird names out there and some people might be ringing up the welfare people every day.

So no cake for the little boy. The parents must be a bit barking, but if they have looked after the child for three years, why now? It surely wasn't the cake incident alone.
