EASTON, Pa. — The father of 3-year-old Adolf Hitler Campbell, denied a birthday cake with the child's full name on it by one New Jersey supermarket, is asking for a little tolerance.
Heath Campbell and his wife, Deborah, are upset not only with the decision made by the nearby ShopRite, but also with an outpouring of angry Internet postings in response to a local newspaper article about the cake.
Heath Campbell, who is 35, said in an interview Tuesday that people should look forward, not back, and accept change.
"They need to accept a name. A name's a name. The kid isn't going to grow up and do what [Hitler] did," he said.
After ShopRite refused the request for the cake as inappropriate, the Campbells got a cake decorated at a Wal-Mart in Pennsylvania, Deborah Campbell said.
About 12 people attended the birthday party on Sunday, according to Heath Campbell.
The Campbells' other two children also have unusual names: JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell turns 2 in a few months and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell will be 1 in April.
Heath Campbell said he named his son after Adolf Hitler because he liked the name and because "no one else in the world would have that name."
Campbell said his ancestors are German and that he has lived all his life in Hunterdon County, New Jersey, which is across the Delaware River from Easton.
Kids are expected to grow up to be well-adjusted, accepting and free of prejudice adults. :rolleyes:
P.S. I hope little bastard got an extra helping of "special cream", courtesy of Walmart's Jewish bakers. Hey, you know who else was another famous Jew baker?

NJ kids with Nazi-inspired names removed from home
HOLLAND TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) -- Three New Jersey siblings whose names have Nazi connotations have been placed in state custody, police said. The children, ranging in age from 3 to under 1, were removed from their home Friday. They drew attention last month when a supermarket bakery refused to put the name of the oldest - Adolf Hitler Campbell - on a birthday cake.
State workers didn't tell police why the children were taken, police Sgt. John Harris said.
A New Jersey Department of Youth and Family Services spokeswoman says that the agency would not remove children from a home because of their names.
DYFS made the statement today after The Express-Times reported Tuesday that the state had taken Adolf Hitler Campbell, 3, and his younger sisters, JoyceLynn Aryan Nation and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie, from their parent's Holland Township, Hunterdon County home.
"Just to be clear, removal of a child from a family is only done when there's an imminent danger to a child and that wouldn't include the child's name alone," spokeswoman Kate Bernyk said. "We wouldn't remove a child based on their name."
lehighvalleylive.com visitors and others have speculated that the children were taken from their parents custody because of their names, which pay homage to Nazism.
mommyof2 wrote: I personally must say that removing these children from their home, family, and most of all stability just because of their names is ridiculous.
mykidsrcute: Ok, these young people picked the dumbest names for their children but for the children in youth to come in and take these children away is dumber yet.
The children's parents, Heath and Deborah Campbell, attracted national media attention last month when they complained after a supermarket bakery refused to put their son's full name on a birthday cake.
Bernyk again said DYFS would not discuss specific cases and did not confirm reports Heath and Deborah Campbell's children were taken.
