Home Schooling in Germany

More from the Brussels Journal on the sad fate (so far) of a homeschooled German girl taken away from her parents by a state that has shown itself incredibly hostile to the idea that children do not belong to the state. They seem to be taking psychiatry lessons from the Soviets.

Melissa Busekros was examined by us. She has a childhood emotional disorder, severe school phobia and an oppositional denial-syndrome. Melissa lacks insight into her illness and the need for treatment, and considers herself healthy and her behaviour fully normal. M. needs urgent help in a closed setting if need be, and subsequent special education treatment to ensure schooling.

Imagine being afraid of being place in an institution run by German bureaucrats.
