PEARLAND, Texas (FOX 26) - Mohammad was born with Down Syndrome chromosome 21, said his father Maher Suleiman.
The 6-year-old boy also has intellectual difficulties and doesnt speak.
He needs care all the time, said Maher.
Mohammad attends C. J. Harris Elementary School in Pearland. Maher said his sons regular teacher left and a substitute teacher called Pearland police about his son. He also said the school told the officer that Mohammad could talk.
Its not true, he doesnt speak at all, said Maher. He also said the substitute teacher told police the boy would reportedly say "Allah" and "boom."
She claimed he was a terrorist, said Maher. This is so stupid, its discrimination. Actually, its not implied discrimination, its actual discrimination.
The teachers reported accusation against the special needs child prompted a police investigation and one by Child Protective Services as well.
