A 13-Year-Old With #Autism Got Arrested After His Backpack Sparked Fear. Only His Stuffed Bunny Was Inside.

@[email protected] That's a rather a misleading headline. He told a teacher "the whole school will blow up" if anyone looked in his backpack. His words sparked fear, not his bag.

The charges against him were dismissed and he ended up with a few days of suspension.
