Police Investigate Ten Year Old Schoolboy Over Spelling Mistake
A spelling mistake has led to a 10-year-old Muslim schoolboy being interviewed by British police over suspected links to terrorism. The child, who cannot be named for legal reasons, mistakenly wrote that he lived in a “terrorist house” instead of a “terraced house” during an English lesson at his primary school in Accrington, Lancashire back in December. Counter terrorism legislation that was introduced last year demands teachers alert authorities if they suspect a pupil’s connection to any terrorist behaviour or radicalisation.
