Girl sent to psych ward for homeschooling, parents billed
The parents of Melissa Busekros, the German teen who was taken by police from her home and placed in a psychiatric ward because she was homeschooled, now are being billed by the government for the cost of her forced stay, according to attorneys who are working on her case.
WND originally reported more than a year ago when Busekros, then 15, was taken into custody from in front of her shocked family by police officers bearing the following court order:
"The relevant Youth Welfare Office is hereby instructed and authorized to bring the child, if necessary by force, to a hearing and may obtain police support for this purpose."
She eventually was detained for several months, until she turned 16 and was subject to different German laws, when she simply left the custodial foster family where she had been ordered to stay and returned to her parents, Hubert and Gudrun Busekros, and her five siblings.
Court officials later said they would not challenge her actions, but the underlying court case stemming from allegations from education and social service officials over the teen's welfare has remained unresolved.
Here is yet another reminder why socialist Europe is not everything its cut out to be. Last year, German officials sent a swat team to take a child from her parents
because she was homeschooled. This "it takes a village to raise a child" mentality destroys parental autonomy in the education and welfare of their children. While some parents abuse this autonomy in our setting, the majority are responsible, caring parents.Â
You might recall the recent ruling in California requiring parents to be accredited teachers before homeschooling. The California courts have issued a stay on that ruling but this school-police state is coming to the US.Â
The real danger here is mandated curriculum including homosexual agenda, scientific theories taught as fact, and prohibition of the Christian faith. Be on guard!
