Not all regions use the same emergency number if they even have one at all.

What a shockingly level headed response to the whole event.

I wish we still had sanity like that in the US. I鈥檓 sure the kid would have been taken into custody here and the police would have rushed into the school with guns drawn, scaring all the staff and children, and later crowing about how they heroically thwarted a terrorist attack.

This kid thought he was gonna win show and tell, I can't blame him for showing a WW2 grenade and telling its story :D that's what show and tell is all about.
