Still, what would you do if you found it on a train? You'd think "that movie prop bomb is probably a prank but I should call the police anyway just in case". And the police would say "that's probably a prank but we should get the bomb squad anyway". And everybody would have their time wasted.
The kid needs to understand that fake bomb threats get taken seriously, so calling the police should have taught him that lesson.
But instead it taught him the lesson "cry victim in a way that the media narrative likes and you'll get loads of free stuff"

Personally, I'd fondly look back on my childhood of tearing apart my dad's electric tools and putting them back together crap-ily.
The only thing that kid understands is that most people are ignorant boobs.

Law of common sense, mate. If I saw it on the train if still think it's a movie prop. Pro tip, bombs are not what you see in movies.

Did he call in a fake bomb threat? Did he walk around the halls saying it was a bomb and he was going to blow people up? Those are threats.
