Islamophobia avoided: Texas migrant arrives at elementary school in tactical gear, gun, released from jail

What could possibly go wrong? You don’t want Texas authorities to do something “Islamophobic,” now, do you?

An Iraqi-born man who was arrested after entering a Texas elementary school clad in tactical gear and carrying a gun has been released back onto the streets, because nothing says "all is well in the neighborhood" like letting a guy who decided to cosplay as a one-man tactical response team inside a building full of kids walk free on bond.

Kyle Najm Chris, aka Muhi Mohanad Najm, showed up at Zwink Elementary School in Spring, Texas, last Tuesday and walked into the front office wearing a load-bearing vest, a taser, and a holstered firearm, according to court records. Chris, who became a naturalized United States citizen in 2022, was arrested Wednesday and charged with possession of a prohibited weapon, a third-degree felony.

The 39-year-old has since posted his $75,000 bond and was released from custody Sunday, according to court records.

Chris allegedly walked into the school’s front office in tactical gear with a holstered firearm after another visitor failed to close the door behind them. A school employee asked Chris how he got in, and he told her the door was unlatched. [Security much?]

Chris also asked if there was armed security on school property, according to court documents. He was asked to provide an ID, but didn’t give one, nor did he identify himself. Chris soon left the school and drove away. Perhaps this was a test-run, but for now, we don't know his true motive.

Chris had a private investigator license and a Texas concealed handgun license, but did not have any ties to the school, according to local news outlet KHOU.

Chris is required to be under 24-hour house arrest with a GPS monitor and is banned from going near any Klein ISD property, according to Fox 26. It's unknown if his firearm was left in his possession, but fearing Islamophobia, it's quite possible. 

Ah yes, house arrest with an ankle bracelet. Because the same system that thought it was a great idea to let this gentleman stroll around an elementary school looking like he was auditioning for a low-budget action flick is now confident that a little electronic jewelry and a stern "stay away" note will keep everyone safe. They forgot to wag their finger at him and admonish him with strong words.

What’s the worst that could happen? He decides to test the perimeter? Or maybe he just needed directions to the nearest tactical surplus store. Either way, the kids are definitely safer now that he's chilling at home plotting . . . whatever it is guys in full tactical gear at elementary schools plot when they're not being "Islamophobic"-ed by overzealous law enforcement. 

Sleep tight, Texas, the system's got this. And if you believe that, you might also believe that cows don't fart and snakes have hips.

Child Protective Services worker fired after allegedly telling child to become a prostitute

A Texas Child Protective Services (CPS) employee was fired from her job after she allegedly told a 14-year-old girl to become a prostitute.

The contact with CPS began when Keisha Basley, a Texas mother of nine, asked the agency for help with her teenage daughter as she had been running away and also causing problems at school.

"My daughter told me that the worker had been telling her she should do these things, so she said she decided to video her," Bazley said.

CPS is housing the girl at a hotel, like they do with dozens of other foster kids in Harris County.

The video allegedly shows an exchange between the 14-year-old and a CPS worker who reportedly told the child to become a prostitute.

"And giving her an incentive to do so, and almost a threat of not having her needs being met, if she didn't do what this woman very explicitly told her to do," family law attorney Mike Schneider told FOX 26 after watching the video.

"If me, the parent, was to do something like this to my child, I would be bashed," Ms. Bazley said. "I would be called a horrible parent. I would lose my kids."

Bazley filed an official complaint with CPS to which Jamie Masters, the CPS commissioner, traveled from Austin to Houston to apologize to Ms. Bazley and her daughter.

"This should not happen to girls in their care," she said. "It should not happen. It's unacceptable."

It's also rather disgusting to think that an agency specifically designed to protect children [read their name] would suggest something so horrific and dangerous to a young teen.

"I've never seen that happen before where the commissioner of CPS comes in from Austin, just to apologize about something horrible that's been done to a child involved with CPS," Schneider said. "It's bad enough if it's just one bad rogue worker. It concerns me that it may be bigger than that, and they need to make sure it's not just one person, and they've got to find a way to protect these kids."

Texas Department of Family and Protective Services spokeswoman Melissa Lanford, told FOX 26, "DFPS is aware of the video and has taken action. The person in the video – who was employed as CPS support staff - was dismissed from her position August 10. The safety and appropriateness with which children in care must be treated is our paramount concern. Nothing less will be tolerated."

What is the person's name who made the suggestion to the child? The public should have the right to know this so that this woman is never hired in any position involving children or counseling.
