Fed up with school shooting threats in his community, Chitwood pledged to publicly identify students accused of making such threats.
Because these 11 year olds are clearly the problem…
[…] amid the ongoing national debate over what it would take to stem the gun violence plaguing the nation.
They aren’t kidding about a wave of threats from kids. 5 or 6 in my town, both high schools and middle schools. Friends are reporting it in their towns too.
I’m guessing some sort of stupid TikTok challenge.
This sheriff is not helping.
Springfield copycats I bet.
Maybe. But here, there were a bunch of them in a very short time span and kids on social media were the culprits in all of them. That screams something along the lines of a TikTok challenge to me.
I could see children deciding that this is how they get gun control laws.
If this was a recent wave, I bet it was just the end of the summer and some kids just desperately not wanting to go back to school for whatever reasons
Definitely not in the case of this town. School has been in session for over a month.
Edit: There was just no pattern to it- https://www.mywabashvalley.com/news/local-news/terre-haute-authorities-hold-school-safety-news-conference-after-threats-arrests/
Good on news outlets not posting the perps. Gotta wonder if this is legal (mugshot and posting perpwalk)as they are minors.
I would be furious it was my kid.
If my kid was threatening to shoot up a school I’d be furious at them, too.
And if my kid was accused of threatening to shoot up a school and this was normal…
Since the school year started a few weeks ago in Volusia County, Chitwood said, his office has reported more than 280 school threats compared to 352 in all of last year.
“Something has to be done,” Chitwood said. “Where are the parents?”
Working to support the kids you want to force them to have.
