NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) — A mother, dad and son were arrested after officers responded to a welfare check to find a juvenile who appeared to be "cut haphazardly" with lumps on his face.

According to an arrest warrant, the victim told police his family attacked him for recently becoming a Christian. The family are Muslims, the warrant adds.

The victim told officers his mother, brother and father repeatedly punched him and spat in his face. Arrest records show his mother then took a knife and scratched the back of his right hand with it.

His family demanded he take back his Christianity belief and say he was a Muslim during the attacks, the arrest record adds. The victim said the abuse continued until law enforcement arrived at the home.

When officers saw the victim, he was "trembling and wide eyed" with "disheveled" hair. The boy was transported to a local hospital for treatment, arrest records state.

Officers responded to the welfare check at the Nashville home on Dec. 11 after the boy's employer called police with concerns.

John Kadum and Nick Kadum were charged with domestic assault and bodily injury. Rawaa Khawaji was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

All three were taken into custody without incident.
