They’re not going to get any satisfaction from the police, because the police are sympathetic to the point of view of those who forced Sagar Masih to convert and cut him off from his family so that there would be no chance that he would return to Christianity.
“Christian parents demand return of teenage son forcibly converted to Islam,” by Anugrah Kumar, Christian Post, September 17, 2026:
In Pakistan’s Punjab province, the Christian parents of 15-year-old Sagar Masih are appealing for his return, saying he was pressured into converting to Islam at a factory job. A rights group says the case is one of a growing number of similar reports involving underage Christian boys in that country.
Sagar’s parents believe factory co-workers pressured him to leave his Christian faith, adopt Muslim prayer practices and convert to Islam, sometimes offering him rewards. That’s according to a statement released by the United Kingdom-based Centre for Legal Aid, Assistance and Settlement (CLAAS-UK), a Christian advocacy group.
“We are deeply concerned for Sagar’s safety and welfare. He is only 15 years old and must first and foremost be treated as a child in need of protection,” said CLAAS-UK Director Nasir Saeed. “Freedom of religion is a fundamental right, but religious freedom must genuinely be free. There can be no place for coercion, threats, inducements or exploitation of a child’s poverty and vulnerability.”
The family said Sagar came from a low-income Christian household and had taken the factory job to help support it. The family alleges the factory recorded Sagar’s name as “Sagar Muhammad,” even though his legal name is Sagar Masih….
The family claims Sagar was required to pray in the Islamic style five times a day before converting, according to Worthy News.
Family members said they spent several days looking for Sagar before they found video footage of him with religious clerics and others. They then went to police, seeking his return and an explanation of the alleged conversion.
Police reportedly told the family Sagar had already become Muslim and that any recourse would go through the courts.
Sagar’s father said police gave the family contradictory details about the timing and process for his son’s return.
Family members allege Sagar told officers he wished to go back with them but was later pressured to stay away from relatives….

I have NO love for Muslims especially when they try to forcibly to convert their victims to a religion that promotes to killing infidels that doesn’t follow Islam.

The young boy can stay Christian in his heart, even when forced by others to bow down to satan.
Hopefully, he will know about Naaman, a commander in the army of Aram. He had a little Israeli girl as servant to his wife. He caught leprosy and went to Elisha for a cure. Afterward, he said to the Prophet,
“18 But may the Lord forgive your servant for this one thing: When my master enters the temple of Rimmon to bow down and he is leaning on my arm and I have to bow there also—when I bow down in the temple of Rimmon, may the Lord forgive your servant for this.”
19 “Go in peace,” Elisha said.’
this young Christian and others like him, have assurances from God that He will not abandon them.

Great that you reminded me of this Bible passage. The Lord is faithful indeed
