A Nashville teen has been a victim of family violence due to his conversion from Islam to Christianity. The incident has led to the arrest of three members of his family on charges related to domestic violence and assault with a deadly weapon.
The Nashville Metropolitan Police Department responded to a call for a welfare check at a residence on December 11, following concerns raised by the employer of the victim, Fox17 reported.
The young man, whose identity remains protected due to his minor status, had reportedly faced physical attacks from his immediate family upon revealing his change of religious faith.
Upon arrival, law enforcement officials found the juvenile with visible signs of abuse.
