Vindictive officials seize homeschool family's assets

 

 The Wunderlich family, with Michael Farris of the HSLDA.

More than a year ago, police in Germany obtained court permission to use “force” and arm themselves with a battering ram to take custody of four homeschooled children, only to see the parents resume homeschooling, and regain custody later.

But that ultimate defeat for the government apparently isn’t going to be the end, according to the father in the case, Dirk Wunderlich.

In an online interview from his German residence, he told WND that a local school board attorney since then has begun issuing “notices of enforcement” that come with penalties of 1,000 euros, or about $1,350. And warned that the enforcement “can be repeated basically any number of times up to … the maximum amount” of 50,000 euros, Wunderlich said.

Michael Donnelly, director of global outreach for the Home School Legal Defense Association, has been involved with the Wunderlich case from the outset, and told WND on Friday that the German government’s attitude apparently is that more prosecution, more force, more penalties is how to cause people to submit to the government’s will regarding the instruction of children.

  1. I don't know how Merkel was reelected - she is nothing but a communist.
    This family has been thru Hell. Lesson for all, don't leave your money in
    the banks. Once deposited, it becomes theirs. The Old Wise Ones used
    the walls and mattresses.
