Poor kids

The authorities removed the children from their parents’ care on Jan. 9., according to the local police. Kate Bernyk, a spokeswoman for the New Jersey Division of Youth and Family Services, said confidentiality rules prevented her from commenting on the case, but that the state would not remove a child based on a name.

While this is a long way from clearing up the question, it does address that it was not based on the name. Still...all the other parts of the article seem to point to there being no abuse. Now the hearing was cancelled and the parents have not spoken up. Wonder if this will just fade away?

Even just based on the description of his actions and his quotes in the times story, the father is dangerously disconnected from reality. I would think his erratic, and very public, behavior would be enough to merit removing the childern even ignoring the name issue.
