Communities nationwide are being battered by a wave of school shooting threats, with emergency notifications and group chat messages sparking parents’ fears their child’s school could be the next Parkland or Uvalde.
Fed up with school shooting threats in his community, Chitwood pledged to publicly identify students accused of making such threats.
What else could be the problem? The fact that school shootings must be taken seriously because it's a real possibility that an 11 year old kid could access a gun?
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.
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.
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
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.
