An attorney with the Home School Legal Defense Association says Germany's Hitler-era ban on home schooling has reached a troubling apex with the seizing of a teen home-schooler, who was interrogated by police then forced to go undergo psychiatric treatment for "school phobia."

Last week, German police and social workers removed 17-year-old home-school student, Melissa Busekros, from her home. Then the authorities proceeded to place the teen in a Nuremberg psychiatric hospital, where she was interrogated by a psychiatrist for more than four hours and finally released.

But as Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) senior counsel Chris Klicka point outs, that was not the end of the student’s troubles. "Fifteen police officers and some social workers came back, and they removed Melissa, took her into state custody, and put her in the psychiatric ward because the psychiatrist, believe it or not, had concluded she had 'school phobia.' It's just completely ridiculous," he says. "She's still in the hospital." the rest
