France Police Questions Eight Year Old Boy after he said “I am not Charlie. I am with the terrorists."

France still in shock after eight-year-old boy  declared in school: “I am not Charlie. I am with the terrorists. The Muslims were quite right. The journalists deserved to die.” The school immediately report Ahmed to the police. The child was questioned for 30 minutes by police. He was then allowed to play with toys while his father answered police questions

 Under questioning, Ahmed said that he did not know the meaning of the word “terrorist”. His father condemned what the boy was reported to have said but made a formal complaint about the decision to interrogate his son. “It’s crazy. This was out of all proportion,” said the family’s lawyer, Sefen Guez Guez. “They took seriously the words of an eight-year-old child, who doesn’t understand what he is saying.” A moderate Islamic association said that the interrogation of Ahmed and his father was proof of a “collective hysteria” since 17 people died in terrorist attacks in Paris three weeks ago.

The education minister Najat Vallaud-Belkacem said the boy’s school had reacted “entirely correctly” by drawing his behaviour to the attention of education authorities and the police. She said that there was no question of legal action against the child but that a complaint had been made against his father for an allegedly “brutal” attitude towards school staff.

Arguments for and against the questioning of Ahmed became the hottest subject on French social media for most of the day.  Is it wrong to have had the child question?
