My heart aches for this family. A wonderful family. Parents who love their children and have been treated so harshly because they are educating their children at home. Treated like criminals for home-educating! Millions of Americans do this every day! The children must be scared to death! Please pray and call some of these numbers through the link.

This from Mike Farris from the Homeschool Legal Defense Association:
Dear HSLDA Members and Friends:
I am deeply troubled to report on the homeschooling nightmare of a family I know personally. I met the Wunderlich family and their four beautiful children last November at the first ever global homeschooling conference in Berlin. Since that time, every homeschooler’s worst fear has been realized in their home.
Just after the family had started their homeschool day, police invaded their home in a SWAT-style raid, threatening to batter in the door and swarming into their home after Mr. Wunderlich attempted to speak with them. The police seized all four children and transported them to unknown locations, threatening that the parents would “not see them soon.”
The Wunderlich family would have left Germany before this, but authorities had taken the children’s passports, essentially robbing them of their right to move and making them hostages in Germany. The Wunderlichs are now separated from their children, and they need our support.
Please, please read this article and call the German Embassy today at (202) 298-4000. The time has come for us to take sustained and vigorous action. HSLDA is working diligently on the next step in this fight for freedom, and we are counting on you to join with us in the battle!
Please keep the Wunderlichs in your thoughts and prayers.
