“Clock Kid’s” Family Demand Apology, $15 Million In Damages

[WestVirginiaRebel]

CBS DFW:

(CBSDFW.COM) – Attorneys representing Ahmed Mohamed and his family want an apology and $15 million in damages after his arrest in September.

 

The former MacArthur High School freshman was accused of bringing an item that looked like a bomb to school. It turned out to be a clock.

 

The attorneys have sent letters to both the City of Irving and Irving ISD (read below), demanding $10 million and $5 million respectively, for the way the incident was handled earlier this year. They claim 14-year-old Ahmed has suffered severe damages as a result of his interrogation and arrest at the school. They also point the finger at Irving’s Police Chief and Mayor for the way they portrayed Ahmed to the media once the story gained international interest.

 

The attorneys claim that both the school district and the police department violated Ahmed’s rights, which led to a chain of events that ultimately forced the family to move out of the country to Doha, Qatar. The family wants to return to Irving, Texas, when they feel safe again, according to the letters.
