Nia Whims, a 13-year-old from Florida, is speaking out after she was arrested and falsely accused of making threats of violence against her school in November 2021. Now, her family is filing a lawsuit against several parties they claim are at fault.
Nia Whims, 13, was wrongfully handcuffed and detained for 14 days before police found she’d apparently been framed for making a bomb threat over Instagram.
"And we know that, yes, there has been situations that have ended in tragedy where these type of threats need to be taken seriously," Porter added."But it cannot come at the expense of our children." "Nobody looked into what damage it did," she added."Emotionally, mentally, you know, and she's still growing. She's young and she's growing. So as adults, a lot of things in our past affect us and I think it's something that will affect her."
