S.W.A.T. Team Seizes Boy From Home
As reported on Crosstalk January 8, 2008, a WorldNetDaily story has alleged that nearly a dozen members of a Colorado Police Swat Team punched a hole in a family's front door and invaded their home with guns drawn.
They demanded that the family's 11 year old son, who had hurt his head in an accidental fall, accompany them to the hospital. This was on the order of the Garfield County Magistrate. The invasion was allegedly instigated by a paramedic who was upset with the family because they wanted to care for the boy themselves.

On the Crosstalk program on February 9, Chris Klicka, Senior Counsel with the Home School Legal Defense Association, detailed the following account of home school persecution in Germany:
Melissa Busekros is German girl who at age 15 was attending public school. She was doing well in most of her studies but having some trouble with two classes so her parents decided to home tutor her. The school didn't like the arrangement so they expelled Melissa. Her parents then made the decision to home school her on a full time basis.
At one point, Police officials and social workers took her forcibly away from her parents and transported her to a psychiatric ward where she was interrogated for four hours. She was then allowed to return home for a couple of days.
Then on February 1, , 15 police officers took custody of Melissa and checked her into the psychiatric ward again where she is being treated for "school phobia."
