Mom sends daughter to school with swastika drawn on arm

Posted July 11th, 2008 by minortopics | via www.foxnews.com

A “white nationalist” woman in Canada has lost custody of her two children, after she drew a swastika on her 7-year-old daughter’s arm and sent her off to school. Lest you think that might be a bit harsh action to take, remember this is the same court system that overturned a dad’s grounding of his daughter.

The Winnipeg mother told the CBC she regrets redrawing the Nazi symbol after a teacher scrubbed it off. She is fighting the child welfare system to regain custody of her daughter, 7, and son, 2, who were removed from her home four months ago.

“It was one of the stupidest things I’ve done in my life but it’s no reason to take my kids,” the unidentified woman told CBC News. She is currently allowed to see her kids for two hours a week.

Child and Family Services workers were alerted after the second swastika incident at school, the CBC reported. When they arrived at the family home they found neo-Nazi symbols and flags, and proceeded to seize the kids.

Alleged neo-Nazi mom gets children back

Posted June 11th, 2008 by minortopics | via www.nationalpost.com

A Canadian woman who is allegedly a neo-Nazi received a decision in her favor when Manitoba Family and Children Services returned her two children to her and dropped their pursuit to permanently remove them from her home.

The deal would involve having the seven-year-old girl and two-year-old boy slowly integrated back into the home, first on weekends and eventually back to full-time care.

The development came after the mother — who cannot be named to protect the identity of the children — recently separated from her husband, an admitted white supremacist who has made a series of disturbing online posts in recent months.

“He’s a bigot. And I have no tolerance for bigotry or ignorance,” the woman told the Free Press in an interview yesterday.

Calling herself a “white nationalist … but not a neo-Nazi skinhead,” the woman said she would abide by whatever conditions CFS wishes in order to regain custody of her children.

Parents board plane without toddler

Posted May 14th, 2008 by minortopics | via www.canada.com

It’s Home Alone Part 6. Talk about “mommy brain” — a mom and dad hopped on a flight to Winnepeg, Canada, and oops! They forgot their toddler in Vancouver.

“We had 10 minutes before boarding,” [father, Jun Parreno] said. “We were running for the gate.”

Parreno thought his son, J.M., was with his wife and the boy’s grandparents, who were running ahead of him. Meanwhile, they thought he had the 23-month-old.

The family members were sitting in separate sections of the plane, and had no idea their son was wandering around Vancouver airport alone between the security checkpoint and the gates.
