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.
