Friends of Domenic Johansson

I read about this story briefly in the HSLDA magazine, and then I quickly forgot about it.   Shame on me for not remembering these people in constant prayer!    When I saw their FB page I joined and then noticed a blog link as well.  If you'd like to hear more about the story, you can find it here. 

"On June 25th of 2009, officials of Gotland, Sweden boarded a plane bound for India and removed Domenic Johansson from his parents’ custody without a warrant or reasonable cause to believe that he was being harmed. Their supposed crime? Choosing to home school Domenic and to delay or decline certain immunizations. Ironically, home schooling is legal in Sweden, and historically parents have always been given the option to legally delay or decline immunizations if they thought it in the best interest of their particular child or children..."

That was June 25th, and this little boy has still not been returned to his parents!  They have seem him once a month, for only an hour at a time!   Can you imagine having your child taken from you, and only seeing him for a hour once a month?   Please take a minute to read their story, and even sign the petition if you can.  Thanks!
