Family Sues School Alleging Special Needs Student Forced into Terrorist Confession

The family of a special education student is suing a Long Island, New York, school district for $25 million, alleging their 12-year-old son was forced to falsely confess to belonging to ISIS and to planning to blow up the school.

The federal lawsuit, filed Monday in U.S. District Court in New York's Eastern District, accuses East Islip Middle School administrators of violating Nashwan Uppal's constitutional rights when they allegedly coerced him into saying he was a terrorist and had bombs, searched through his belongings and locker, and for a period of time refused to let him contact his mother.
