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

#Disability rights advocates said #kids like Ty should not be getting arrested under Tennessee’s #school threats law. And they tried to push for a broader exception for kids with other kinds of disabilities. It didn’t work.

Not the smartest choice of words, but come on, he's 13, don't expect him to choose his words carefully - autism or not.

And don't arrest people over a misunderstanding, "blow up" IS used in a figurative sense, so there was never a threat in the first place.
