Dangerous Baby Names

I'd forgotten about this case until it came up in the news yesterday:

http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/314791

I feel like I'm missing something. Since when is it okay to take a child away from its parents for having an undesirable name? I realize the parents are a tad racist:rolleyes:, but was there any evidence of child abuse or neglect? The reports seem to be rather vague on this point.

It's a tough call for me. I feel very sorry for the children of this family being exposed to such hate, but I'm not sure there's any real due cause to take the kids away. What do you think?
