Judge upholds decision to seize children of alleged white supremacists

[BURNING MAN]

An infamous case began in March 2008, when a Winnipeg couple's eldest daughter - just seven at the time - showed up at school with a swastika and racist slogans written on her body in ink - including references to Adolf Hitler and the slogan "we must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children."

WINNIPEG — A bid by a white supremacist to get custody of his young son and older stepdaughter fell apart Thursday after a judge ruled the man has a long way to go to be a responsible parent.

The decision ends a case that saw the girl used as a "personal billboard" for white supremacist slogans, and a claim the children's apprehension by child welfare authorities violated their parents right to freedom of expression.

The kids will continue to live with their foster parents as permanent wards of Child and Family Services, Court of Queen's Bench judge Marianne Rivoalen said.

The judge said the case has nothing to do with racism or free speech, but is about protecting two innocent kids from bad parents.
