Police Called Over 11-Year-Old's Science Project

garg0yle writes "Police in San Diego were called to investigate an 11-year-old's science project, consisting of 'a motion detector made out of an empty Gatorade bottle and some electronics,' after the vice-principal came to the conclusion that it was a bomb. Charges aren't being laid against the youth, but it's being recommended that he and his family 'get counseling.' Apparently, the student violated school policies — I'm assuming these are policies against having any kind of independent thought?"

They are being recommended counseling because of all the emotional and psychological damage the SCHOOL caused on the child. Kinda like a child rapist recommending to the child that he gets counseling for being raped.
