Good to see the authorities acting so quickly, since if it was a bomb their fast action may have prevented a disaster.

However since it wasn’t and was clearly a honest mistake on the teenagers part they shouldn’t have suspended him at all.

So they should arrest every kid with a box just in case??

 No but the teachers should inform the authorities if they find something that they think is suspicious and beyond their Capability’s to deal with then the authorities should take it from there. If they feel the need to bring them in and question them, then that’s their prerogative.

 If it turns out they are totally innocent as in this case it has, the suspect should be made clear of that and should get off with a warning and be allowed back to class.
