Can't swallow their own lies

The German media choose to ignore Melissa's case, dismissing it as "personal matter" which is of "no importance to the society". But blogging, e-mails and even the word of the mouth was enough to make the "Jugendamt" ("youth welfare office") unhappy with the attention they were getting.

Few days ago an officer representing the organization that seized Melissa from her parents appeared in a TV interview. The viewers were assured that Melissa Busekros is happy in state custody, even though the facts proved the contrary. It must have been known to the "youth welfare office" that in her letter to the International Human Rights Groups, Melissa begged for help to return to her parents. Yet the officer said on television that Melissa Busekros never asked to go home, preferring state custody to her family.

Lying in the mass media is not something new for an organization created in 1939 to supervise and control families politically after the nazis banned homeschooling in 1938. What they didn't think of was that in the age of camera phones and YouTube such lies don't last long. The interview was recorded and Melissa got a chance to see it during the only hour a week her parents are allowed to visit her.

As Melissa was watching the video, a social worker came over, slammed the laptop shut and called the police to escort Melissa's father from the property. Yet it was too late for the "youth welfare office". Melissa already knows that the "Jugendamt" officers are lying about her. And that they can't swallow their own lies.

The "youth welfare office" has no intention to give up. But the fact it had to resort to lying on television shows that German public becomes more aware of what happened to Melissa - despite the media boycott. 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. It would be great if that actually happens but up until then, it's not yet the time to stop the fight.

Please contact German officials if you haven't done it before. Take part in boycotting German goods and make sure to raise awareness of what happened to poor Melissa. Seizing children just because their parents did better job than a public school is unacceptable and no government should be allowed to get away with it.
