Battle Over Homeschooled Teen’s Welfare Moves to European Parliament
This WorldNetDaily report appears on ACLJ. It begins:
The parents of Melissa Busekros, the German teen who was taken by police from her home and placed in a psychiatric ward because she was homeschooled, now are being billed by the government for the cost of her forced stay, according to attorneys who are working on her case . . .
She eventually was detained for several months, until she turned 16 and was subject to different German laws, when she simply left the custodial foster family where she had been ordered to stay and returned to her parents, Hubert and Gudrun Busekros, and her five siblings.
Court officials later said they would not challenge her actions, but the underlying court case stemming from allegations from education and social service officials over the teen’s welfare has remained unresolved.
It now is being taken both to the European Court of Human Rights as well as the European Parliament by officials with the European Center for Law and Justice . . .
