More problems for Melissa Busekros and German home school families.
Here is the latest update about the German home school family whose 15-year-old daughter, Melissa Busekros, was removed by authorities because she was being tutored at home. Now it has been learned that a government spokesperson has lied about Melissa's desire to return to her family, as expressed in a letter she wrote recently.

Youth Welfare Officer Lies to German Television about Homeschooler Taken Away from Family
Second family worried police may storm their home and carry off their children as they did to the Busekros family
By Peter J. Smith
NUREMBURG, March 29, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - An officer of the German Youth Welfare Office (Jugendamt) yesterday told a German television station that homeschooler Melissa Busekros is happy in state custody away from her family, despite evidence to the contrary. A Jugendamt officer brusquely ended a meeting between Melissa and her family, after her father showed her the mendacious video on his laptop.
For over two months, 15 year-old homeschooled Melissa Busekros has been in the custody of Germany's Jugendamt, an organization created by National Socialist (Nazi) chancellor Adolf Hitler in 1939 to supervise and control families politically after he banned homeschooling in 1938 as subversive to indoctrinating German youth in the Nazi ideology. The Jugendamt ordered Melissa to undergo psychiatric treatment for "school phobia," and has placed her in a foster home and location unknown to her parents who are allowed to see their daughter only once a week.
According to the International Human Rights Group (IHRG), an organization working closely with the Busekros' and other oppressed homeschooling families in Germany, a Jugendamt officer said on television that Melissa Busekros had never asked to go home, preferring state custody to her family.
"The father was showing the videotape to the daughter when another worker within the room for the visit came over and slammed the computer shut, called the police, and had him escorted off the property," Joel Thornton, president of IHRG told LifeSiteNews.com. "They're only allowed 1 hour visit a week, and they ended this visit and made him leave."
"The father was trying to give Melissa some insight about what the world outside was saying because she doesn't have any access to any form of media where she's being kept," Thornton said. "He wanted her to see what was being said, but particularly what this youth officer was saying about her not wanting to go home, even though she basically requests to everyone she talks to that she wants to go home."
Thornton also referenced that Melissa had written the IHRG a letter March 12, petitioning their help to return to her family. (http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2007/mar/07031501.html ).
"I suspect the Youth Office is not happy with all the attention they're getting, and they're trying to put more pressure on the Busekros family."
The Busekros family has hired an attorney named Hildebrand from the Nuremburg area, and are filing a legal action on Monday against the government officials that raided their home.
"It's no monetary request, it's merely a request for the government to recognize it as illegal to go into their home to take the daughter," said Thornton, who said the family hopes this action will discourage the government from seizing their other children.
Although Hubert Busekros will be able to visit his daughter again, a representative of the Jugendamt will always supervise the family's visits at some facility other than the previous government clearinghouse.
Thornton told LifeSiteNews.com that he was going to meet with 4 other homeschooling families in the Dresden area this weekend, and also with the Brause family, which lost legal custody of their children to the Jugendamt, and faces the uncertainty of whether police may storm their home and carry off their children like they did to the Busekros family.

Sources revealed to LifeSiteNews.com that the Busekros case may be resolved with the return of Melissa to her family in the next few weeks.

Hotline: Stop DC Voting Rights Bill
This is "Crosstalk Hotline". Listed below is information regarding issues that are important to you, our listeners, families, churches, and members of the community at large.

Crosstalk has received the following information from Eagle Forum. It demands immediate action.
Earlier this year, Democrats attempted to pad their majority by giving certain congressional voting rights to delegates from 5 non-state territories the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands. AS Eagle Forum predicted, that was just the beginning. Now, they are taking the bold--and unconstitutional step of granting full voting rights to the DC delegate by voting on the District of Columbia House Voting Rights Act ( H.R. 1433).
Sponsored by Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) and Rep. Tom Davis (R-VA), this bill, scheduled for a vote this Friday, would establish full House of Representatives voting rights for the District of Columbia and add an additional seat to Utah, the next state in line to pick up a Congressional seat in reapportionment. This is an attempt to silence critics of DC voting rights, buying them off with a "sure Republican" seat because they know the DC seat will be a solid Democrat. This type of trade-off proves this is a partisan move by Democrats wanting to add a permanent Democrat vote to their tallies.
Most importantly, allowing non-state delegates to vote is clearly unconstitutional. The Constitution says the House shall be composed of "Members chosen ... by the People of the several States," not delegates representing non-state territories. The District of Columbia is a federal city, not a state, with final governing authority resting with Congress.
Even some conservative Republicans, such as Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN), are making the mistake of supporting this unconstitutional piece of legislation.
Congress will likely vote on the DC Voting Rights this Friday! So it is imperative that you let your Representative know about your concern over the DC Voting Rights (H.R. 1433)! If you agree with Eagle Forum that this is an unconstitutional attempt to expand the membership of the House of Representatives, please call today!

Hotline: School tells Students to Lie to Parents
Deerfield High School in Deerfield, Illinois is one of many schools across the nation that now requires their freshmen to attend a meeting designed to help them become "tolerant" and "accepting" of homosexuality. The Deerfield meeting features a "Straight Gay Alliance Network" panel led by "gay" and "lesbian" upperclassmen, which essentially promotes high-risk homosexual behaviors, with inappropriate language to describe those behaviors.
While this is enough to cause parents concern, the school has also taken steps to ensure that the parents do not know about this meeting at all. They required that the 14-year-old freshmen attending this meeting also sign a "confidentiality agreement" promising not to tell anyone--including their parents--about the discussion.
The goal is obviously to bring these high school students on board as accepting homosexual behavior as "normal", contrary to what most may have learned home.
After word got out about the confidentiality agreement, the school backed down and said they would not require it in the future, promising to be more "above board and honest" with parents. But the goal had already been reached, as another generation of young people had been indoctrinated. And, despite the school's promises, parents who requested to see the materials used, or to sit in on the indoctrination meeting, were refused.
