NEW YORK --

A New Jersey couple who gave their children Nazi-linked names says that their kids were taken away because of false claims of abuse. New Jersey's Division of Youth and Family Services removed little Adolf Hitler, JoyceLynn Aryan Nation and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell from their home on January 9.

The children, ranging in age from 3 to under 1, were removed from their home after a neighbor claimes they were being physical, menatlly, and emotionally abused. These claims are denied by parents Heath and Deborah Campbell.

The Campbell family broke a judge's gag order to speak with MyFoxNY and Fox 5 in New York.

"The never even put his hands on his children," says Deborah Campbell of her husband, Heath.

They drew attention in December when a supermarket bakery refused to put the name of the oldest (video: MyFoxNY) - Adolf Hitler Campbell - on a birthday cake.

The parents say they are not racists and just are exercising their rights to name thier children what they want.

The state Division of Youth and Family Services would not say why the children were removed citing confidentiality laws. The Campbells says it is because of the names.

I'm all for individual rights, but naming your children after icons of hate is abuse. It brands them as symbols of hate for the rest of their lives, or at least until a court-appointed guardian can successfully petition the court to have their names changed.
