The trouble for him started Monday afternoon on the school bus ride home. According to Alexandria Police, the boy showed the toy gun, described as a replica silver handgun with a black handle and orange tip. Police say he neglected to mention the toy was a fake gun.

Could be the kid forgot it was in the backpack, and was talking to another kid about it, then showed it to him.
However, it is also likely, he was showing it off, which is wrong, I agree.

Did you read the story? He showed it to another kid on his way home. It was the next day that police approached him and found it in his backpack. It is likely the first kid reported it to his parents because the police knew to check him out the next day.

If you think it's wrong, why did you mention the school system "insanity"? The school was right on doing what they did. They checked out the kid. He was released, by the way.
