The couple who sent their seven-year-old daughter to school with white supremacist slogans drawn on her skin once set up a pro-skinhead website that was the subject of a criminal complaint.
Now deleted, the website aimed to attract skinheads interested in “looking out for each other and helping to cleanse the area we live in,” according to a statement on the homepage.
The girl’s mother says the website “was a joke” and has repeatedly denied allegations that she preached hate to her daughter and two-year-old son. The province of Manitoba seized both children last year shortly after the daughter was sent to school with a swastika and white supremacist slogans on her ski and is seeking permanent custody in a Winnipeg court.
No one involved in the case can be identified under Manitoba law.

The heirs of slain U.S. civil rights leader Martin Luther King say there’s not much they can do about a white supremacist group’s use of “martinlutherking.org.”The Web site, which is among the highest-ranked results for Google search engine queries on King’s name, is operated by the white supremacist group Stormfront, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Monday.
The group devotes the Web site’s pages to rehashing allegations of plagiarism and adultery and accuses King of fraud, claiming he was not a “legitimate reverend” or “bona fide Ph.D.” The newspaper says the site also urges visitors to learn about civil rights by reading the work of former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke.
Isaac Newton Farris Jr., King’s nephew and head of the non-profit King Center in Atlanta, told the newspaper that free speech guarantees allow Stormfront to use say what it pleases about King, as long as it doesn’t use his name in Web site address, which it avoids by not using “Jr.”
“You can’t stop people from having opinions,” Farris said. “If people think my uncle was adulterous and didn’t have a Ph.D., we can’t do anything about that.”
