In September, Texas student Ahmed Mohamed was arrested after his teacher mistook his homemade clock for a bomb. While the 14 year old received tons of support from the internet, got invites from famous figures such as Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield, and received a number of offers from prestigious schools following the incident, he also received threatening emails which left him traumatized.
