Ahmed Mohamed Demands $15 Million From Texas School District
An attorney for the family of Muslim teen clockmaker Ahmed Mohamed is demanding $15 million from Texas school district, along with an apology for how Mohamed was treated when he brought his homemade clock to school according to TIME reports…
Quote
Mohamed is the 14-year-old Texas ninth-grader-turned-celebrity who was arrested at school after a homemade clock he brought in was mistaken for a bomb. He has since been honored everywhere from Google to the White House.
Mohamed’s attorney sent letters to the City of Irving and the Irving Independent School District adding new details and accusations to the story, with the family alleging that authorities “sought to cover its mistakes with a media campaign that further alienated the child at the center of this maelstrom,” the Dallas Morning News reports.
The Mohamed’s are asking for $15 million in damages, as well as apologies from key players—the school district, MayorVan Duyne and Police Chief Larry Boyd, alleging “They stoked the flames. They tried to push responsibility off on the victim—Ahmed.”
Lesley Weaver, spokeswoman for the Irving school district, said in a statement Monday that the school district’s attorneys “will review the information and respond as appropriate, as with any legal matter,” reports the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram.
Attorneys for the family said they would give the school district and the city 60 days to comply before filing a civil lawsuit.
Do you think Ahmed should get millions for his homemade clock??

The boy was humiliated and put through psychological trauma. I advise that they better pay him that money within the 60 days, cos if you allow them take the matter to court, na more money una go cough out oo. Settle out of court now that you have the chance.

I was wondering when the DEMAND for "compensation" would start. ! His parents did not waste anytime. Typical. Just leave quietly. I am sure the Qatar hosts will look after you well.

After dem go dey abuse Nigerian, please tell me what do a 14 year old boy need $15M he did not work for, for? If at 14 he already has the exploitative mindset of taking advantage of vulnurable circumstances as this, tell me how this guy wont have the guts to blow up something if he doesnt get his way? obviously, I have to point fingers or make allegations, but dude is not only having the thief mentality, hes also having terrorist tendencies! Please they should counter-sue him and arrest him again, $15M ka? Abeg they should arrest me too for 2 hours so I can get that $15M too or even $2M sef

@nametalkam haba, the story didn't say Ahmed demanded the said 15 million, his parents did and for a very good course. The school authorities could and should have handled the matter in a more sensible way. Handcuffing a minor for the whole world to see was way over the bar. If this was done in any other country, you'd hear the Americans screaming injustice against a minor who was just being creative. Though I agree 15 million is to much, but he must be paid damages.
