PATERSON, New Jersey - Muslim community leaders Tuesday demanded an investigation of a caseworker for the state's Division of Youth and Family Services who they say insulted Muslims when he allegedly hurled racial and religious slurs at them at a local restaurant.

Sandra Damrah and Mohamed Metwaly Khalil of Woodland Park filed complaints with DYFS and Paterson Municipal Court against the caseworker, whom they identified as Ezeadi Kelechi, after a Nov. 23 incident at Uncle Lou's Restaurant in Paterson.

The caseworker saw Khalil and Damrah at a table and allegedly shouted, "Terrorist!" and asked, "Do you have your bomb belt?" and "Are you going to slit my throat?" recalled Khalil, an artist who works as assistant curator at the Paterson Museum. Khalil added that the man was accompanied by a DYFS colleague, who did nothing to halt the abuse.

Khalil identified Kelechi as a caseworker who had handled his attempt to regain custody of his son, who is in the DYFS foster care system and separated from his father for a year.

They sure don't have to think they are being treated any differently than anybody else. CPS agents universally treat everybody like dirt. CPS agents are some of the nastiest, most insane people on the planet.
