EXCLUSIVE: Meet German Homeschool Family whose Daughter was Taken by Gov't

I met recently with the Busekros family in Erlangen, Germany. This Christian family had their 15-year old daughter Melissa taken from them in a SWAT style raid because the Youth Welfare office in the city of Erlangen thinks this home is a dangerous environment for children. Officials also think the father, Hubert, has too much influence over the thinking of his daughter.
Melissa, who was being homeschooled at the time, was taken from her parents and put in this mental hospital in neighboring Nuremberg for what officials said was “school-phobia.” She is now in a foster home at a secret location while a court battle continues. Some fear the Busekros could lose their other children, as well.
Homeschooling is usually not allowed in Germany and is widely considered to be harmful to children. I’ve interviewed German homeschooling parents who have been fined and thrown into jail.
Watch for my story on the 700 Club, Newswatch, Christian World News and here on CBNNews.com.
Melissa’s mother Gudrun asked us if we would share their thank you to everyone around the world who has written the Busekros family and prayed for them.
