A central Texas teen was suspended from school after answering a phone call from his dad who is serving in Iraq.

Brandon Hill is a sophomore at Copperas Cove High School near Killeen.

His teacher said he violated the school's "No Cell Phone" policy when he answered that call from his dad.

His family says he should not have been suspended.

"My husband had an agreement with the assistant principal. He had spoken to him before he left, told him that both my sons, Brandon and Joshua, and if he called it was to accept the call, to let them have it," said Patricia Hill, Brandon's mom.

She said the principal e-mailed his teachers to let them know he has permission to take calls from his father.

I feel the child should of been allowed to get the call especially since both the father and the mother spoke to the principal and said the call would be allowed. He is in Iraq and you never know what can happen from one day to the next. The teacher was informed before hand and it is not like the child got excessive calls and they lasted for a long period of time.
