I'm fairly certain with this single statement you've negated every last piece of logical argument I was willing to assume you could make. You clearly misunderstand entirely what it means to "jump to conclusions". I said I'm willing to have an open mind and NOT make any assumption (though in not so many words). That means I'm NOT jumping to conclusions - I'm NOT automatically saying he was an evil man without knowing all the facts, and I'm NOT condemning him while only having a couple sentences-worth of vague description of the situation.

 

You know absolutely NOTHING about what's gone on here. There are INCREDIBLE amounts of information that we haven't been given, yet you're willing to close the book and be done with it, already having made your decision. That is arrogant, that is ignorant, and that is stupid.

In addition, how the hell do you even know they KNEW they were in Germany? As far as you know, they may have wandered in from Poland or the Czech Republic on accident while they were moving around in the forest. You don't know the situation behind what they went through. Stop being so closed-minded and arrogantly assuming you do.

I was just presenting a possible explanation (which is also the most likely if this story isn't fake).

Homeschooling is legal in the Czech Republic and Poland under restrictive conditions (i.e. the kids are supervised by a school, and need to take annual exams). I'm also not sure that there's any forest which stretches from the outskirts of Berlin to Poland or the Czech Republic. If there is one, please mention it. And thr schooling part isn't the only thing wrong with this situation.
