I am very upset about this situation with these boys. I have been around Muslim people for almost 30 years, and I do not believe the father did not know what kind of school this is. Personally, I think both the father and mother should be arrested for felony child endangerment and neglect. Why four years? It does not take that long to memorize the Koran. These parents abandoned their children to the Taliban and they should be punished for it.
