As School Threats Proliferate, More Than 700 Students Are Arrested
Earlier this month, a detective knocked on Shavon Harvey’s door, in suburban Ohio, to ask about her son. The son had sent a Snapchat message from her phone to his friends, saying there would be shootings at several schools nearby.
She rushed to the police station, where her son was already in custody, but the police did not release him. He was charged with inducing panic, a second-degree felony, and officials kept him in detention for 10 nights.
He is 10.

In senior year, my school district had 30+ bomb threats in one year. Every time we'd hear the loudspeaker ring, we'd just start grabbing our shit. They stopped telling people about them after a while because evacuating the kids once a week was a shitshow. Every threat was linked to a handful of kids who wanted attention or wanted to get out of tests/homework. I was out sick on the day the feds showed up and started arresting kids.
We got 4 or 5 a year before big tests when I was in high school in the 90s.
The funny part was that there was a pay phone outside the school but right by the main walkway everyone used to get into the school. I guarantee you the bomb threats were always called anonymously from that pay phone, almost in view of the office.
Kids are so dumb.
Yeah, but as far as I know, they always got away with it. Just like the kids that pulled the fire alarm for the same reason.
The kids at my school didn't get away with it because social media and all that shit. This was also in 2014-2015, so tracking down whodunnit was exceptionally easy lol
