CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - Parents of a young Muslim boy filed a lawsuit claiming a school district interrogated him, questioned him about his religion, and even strip searched him.
The lawsuit, filed last week, stems from an alleged incident that dates back to the previous school year.
(snip)
Abens says last November, a then 10-year-old boy at Lakeview Elementary was asked several questions by a student teacher in the middle of class, At first, it was simply why he appeared sad, and then turned to questions about his home life.
When he wouldnt really answer, the student teacher removed him from class asking more questions about home life. They wouldnt let him leave until he told them what he thought they wanted to hear which was that his parents were abusing him at home which wasnt the case. It puts him an incredibly difficult situation where they want him to say that is a parents are abusing him when he knows its not true, said Abens.
The lawsuit claims the questions then turned to religion. What is his religion? Does he believe in God? In heaven? Does he love America? Abens said, We believe that was due to the fact that he is a Pakistani and Muslim. Abens says it didnt stop there. The little boy was taken into a private, windowless room by the teacher and student teacher with the nurse also there.
According to the complaint, he was terrified and began to cry, and was held against his will for about a half hour. Then, its alleged the boy was strip searched, his pants pulled down to his ankles, and his shirt pulled above his chest.

Their names need to be known and the school and the individuals need to be sued personally (if possible - I'm not a lawyer). The boy needs to become rich to pay for the therapy he'll need.
