And the school administrators fell for the scam and made the kid rich and famous.
We know that the school officials knew it was not a bomb. They should have just sent the kid home and not called the police. Had they done that, we would have never heard of the Clock Kid.
Except for the fact that the Boston Marathon bombings happened, and young Muslims, even those born in America, are being radicalized by ISIS every day. I think they just didn’t know what to make of the whole thing and didn’t want to take any chances.
