Home Schooled Girl Can't Prove She's an American – or Even Exists

[dps]

And I suspect that she needs to get into the Federal courts, and not fool around with the Texas courts.

Why do you figure?

She's apparently at an impasse with the Texas legal system. so the next step is to try the Feds, and in Federal court I think she'd have a pretty good case that she's being denied her civil rights.

Don't the Feds need a birth certificate?

Just to file a suit?  I don't think so, but I could be wrong about that.

I wish that I had home-schooled girl.

It's like free range chicken, only not.

He would like to "teach" her.

Sounds like she exited or escaped from a cult, so should be given the appropriate government help.

This is another mainstream media attack on the home school movement. While things like this "might" happen (I have yet to see the proof), they forget to mention all the very well educated children in the home school movement. What really bothers the liberals is that these kids are free of the brainwashing happening in the all the public schools.

Let's face it, all education is a form of brainwashing. Liberals control the public educational system and want everybody to go through their programing. Parents have the right to choose what type of brainwashing to give their kids. I choose private jewish zionist sefardic school. Thanks good bye.

No it isn't.  It is an attack on breaking the law by not reporting a birth to the State so citizenship can be secured.

Not in Texas they don't so...you really have no relevant point here.

The problem in this case isn't the home schooling, it's the fact that her birth wasn't registered.

There's some dodgy things in the story, though.

Yes it seems to be saying something that seems pretty straightforward as being some grand tragedy or impossible conundrum.

To be honest, I find it difficult to believe that you can't go before a judge at all in Texas without documentation as to your identity.  Perhaps she should take the opportunity to go on a crime spree, since apparently she can't be tried. 

[Caliga]

Ha, good idea.  She can be a supervillian!

I think that she is saying that she cannot appear in front of a judge to apply for a delayed birth certificate without documentation.  That's the context, anyway.  I'd be astonished if people who had no ID on them couldn't appear in front of a judge no matter what.

I don't think the home schooling is an issue, especially if the parents were 'normal' in all other respects. But it together with the lack of birth registrations are signs of more asocial behaviour by the parents, perhaps they wanted to insulate her from the outside word or dominated her life and freedom.

After all the grand parents did appear to 'rescue' her from them, so something a bit odd is going on in the parents world-view.

Perhaps they were were just morons.
