PHILADELPHIA - The couple who made national news after naming their baby Adolf Hitler is back in the news, claiming the state of New Jersey took their newborn from a hospital.

Meet Baby Hitler’s Family Heath and Deborah Campbell from Phillipsburg, N.J.
told Easton Express-Times that New Jersey Division of Youth and Family Services (DYFS) took the couple’s newborn son, Hons, from his mother on Thursday when he was just 17 hours after he was born.
Pasquale Giannetta, a lawyer who reportedly represents the Campbells, told The Associated Press a hearing is scheduled for Monday to determine if the state will keep custody.
Deborah Campbell told the Expess-Times the hearing is 12:30 p.m. in Flemington, N.J.
This fall, the Campbells told a local Philadelphia TV station that they expected to regain custody of their other children and had been told by a judge they lost custody because they named their children after Nazis.
However, an online search of court dockets doesn’t show a New Jersey state Supreme Court ruling overturning a 2010 Appellate court ruling that placed the Campbells’ children in state custody.
Fox 29 has also obtained the full 2010 Appellate court ruling in the case, which doesn’t mention the childrens’ names. That ruling cited Heath Campbell’s domestic history with his previous wife as a cause for concern and admits other evidence discarded in a previous ruling.
Heath and Deborah Campbell's three small children were removed from their home in Philipsburg by the state in January 2009.
The family drew attention after ShopRite refused to decorate a birthday cake for their son, Adolf Hitler Campbell. Adolf and siblings JoyceLynn Aryan Nation and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie have been in foster care since then.
The state took possession of the children after neighbors alleged abuse in the home, shortly after the Shop Rite incident.
Fox 29 spoke with the Campbells then and they claimed the names were an issue.
"This is America, they say it's free, you have the right to name your child whatever you want to name your child, no matter what," Heath Campbell said.
"It's not like he's' growing up to be a killer or nothing like that," said mother Deborah Campbell.
