Have you been following the news of the German girl, Melissa Busekros who was removed from her family and placed in a psychiatric institution for "school phobia"? The HSLDA e-newsletter reports that calls, e-mails, and letters to the German embassy and the Bavarian Minister of Justice may help to free the young lady. You may read the whole story here: http://www.hslda.org/elink.asp?id=3731 If you wish to register a strong protest with the German ambassador or the Minister of Justice, here is the contact information, courtesy of HSLDA: Dr. Klaus Scharioth Ambassador German Embassy 4645 Reservoir Road NW Washington, DC, 20007-1998 (202) 298-4000 The embassy can be emailed from its website: http://www.hslda.org/elink.asp?id=3732 Minister of Justice in Bavaria: Beate Merk Prielmayerstr. 7 80335 Munchen Tel. +49 89 5597 1799 Fax +49 89 5597 3580 Email: beate.merk@stmj.bayern.de Germany has a history of hostility toward homeschoolers, but if many voices around the world are raised in protest of this dreadful event, they may be willing to reconsider. And finally, can there be anything more effective than prayer? Just think if she were your own dear daughter... |
