The New York report has stated on Thursday that a Muslim mother of Pakistani origin has sued a New York school for $25 million claiming her disabled son was forced to sign a confession saying he was part of the Islamic State terror group, where Nubaisha Uppal, a resident of Long Island, has claimed senior staff at East Islip Middle School bullied her son, Nashawn, 12, into falsely confessing he was a terrorist.
According to the Daily Mail, Nashawn was bullied in the school cafeteria on January 6 by a group of older students, who repeatedly questioned his identity. After learning he was from Pakistan, it is alleged that the students began calling Nashawn a “terrorist” and asking him what he was planning to blow up next.
It is stated that the suit alleges that Nashawn was only repeating the word “terrorist” without knowing what it meant, and when questioned later said it referred to “someone who travels”, like a tourist and Nashawn’s family has said that the following day of the abuse the assistant school Principal Jason Stanton removed him from a gym class and took him to his office.
Meanwhile the Daily mail has reported that s part of the suit, Nashawn’s mental capacity by the district’s own staff is made clear that he is unable to understand the meaning of basic words, or follow logic in sentences, and the family is now suing for $25 million in compensatory and punitive damages, alleging that they have suffered nightmares, sleeplessness, fear, and stress as a result of the questioning.
