Kiera Wilmot, a student at Bartow High School, is facing two felony charges including making or attempting to make a destructive device after she mixed toilet bowl cleaner and pieces of aluminum foil in a tiny water bottle.

A spokesperson for the Florida State Attorney’s office told Fox News that the case is under investigation and would not be offering further comment.

The 16-year-old was in a yard outside the school working on the experiment for an upcomikierawilmotng science project, according to the Bartow Police Dept. The project was not part of an official class assignment.

Wilmot told police she thought the concoction would result in a little smoke. Instead, according to the police report, the tiny bottle exploded.

Bartow High School Principal Ron Pritchard told television station WTSP that Wilmot had an exemplary record and she is known around campus as a good student.

“She’s is a good kid,” the principal said. “she has never been in trouble before. Ever.”

According to the police report, obtained by Fox News, Wilmot told police she was in no way trying to hurt anyone or create a disruption of school.

The principal agreed and said she simply made a bad decision.

“Honestly, I don’t think she meant to ever hurt anyone,” he told the television station. “She wanted to see what would happen when the chemicals mixed and was shocked by what it did. Her mother is shocked, too.”

The principal said the young lady was completely up front and honest about what happened.

“She didn’t run or try to hide the truth,” he said.

Nevertheless, the school district called the police, had her arrested and expelled her from school.

“There are consequences to actions,” read a statement from Polk County Schools. “Anytime a student makes a bad choice it is disappointing to us.”

The district told the television station that the incident “was a serious breach of conduct.”

“In order to maintain a safe and orderly learning environment, we simply must uphold our code of conduct rules,” the statement read. “We will not compromise the safety and security of our students and staff.”

The experiment was conducted in a school yard away from the building and away from students. No one was injured in the incident.

The Wilmot family declined to comment. The district said she will complete her education at an alternative school.

Actual reporting!

Googled "Toilet bowl cleaner mixed with foil" first video result titled "toilet bowl cleaner bomb...mix toilet bowl cleaner and aluminum foil in a plastic bottle. Put the cap on tight, and watch the explosion."

I watched the video. The girl knew what she was doing. She deserves to be expelled. I don't think it warrants jail time, but I'd say some legal ramifications are in order.

Am I missing something? Or do I have to click on the link to see that she was mixing toilet bowl cleaner and aluminum foil?

It wasn't in the hack article posted in the OP, but the follow-up from Fox listed the components and quoted the police report.

Well, there you go Saul Good.

My bad, I guess.

No worries. Everybody gets lucky once in a while.

You are cautioning others to not jump to conclusions about what happened, while you are still calling it an explosion, even though that particular word is never mentioned in the article.

Seems it's mentioned on the police report...

Right. As I mentioned, the piece was very clearly biased. They took a quote from a kid calling it a science project but didn't quote the police report. I don't see how everyone didn't recognize that critical details were being omitted.

still doesn't matter that much though. She wasn't even near anybody, according to this report and obviously had no intent to harm. But this police state isn't good and students shouldn't be going to school with nothing but fear on their minds. But that's america, fear = control, the more you are controlled the better it is for them.

What about the kid who got arrested for wearing a T shirt that said 'stand up for your rights'
