A news story out of Texas is making the rounds today. A substitute teacher at CJ Harris Elementary School in Pearland, TX, called the police on one of her students last month. The student in question is a boy named Mohammad Suleiman.
Mohammad was accused to making terroristic threats in the classroom. According to his father, Mohammad reportedly said stuff like "Allah" and "boom."
Keep in mind that Mohammad is 6-years-old. He's also diagnosed with Down Syndrome and experiences pretty significant intellectual challenges. For example, he's non-verbal.
Of course, the school officials told both the police and the child's father that Mohammad speaks full sentences. Which he doesn't.
The police had to interview Mohammad and his family. They eventually realized that there was no need to continue investigating the child. Child protective services also got involved with the family. The CPS investigating is still ongoing as of last week.
