Multiple Minors Arrested for School Threats Nationwide

A string of recent arrests across the United States highlights the growing concern over school threats made by minors on social media. In Manassas, Virginia, a 12-year-old girl was detained for threats against Unity Braxton Middle School, although the threats were deemed not credible. Similarly, a 12-year-old boy in San Antonio was arrested for posting threats involving firearms and school names on Instagram, with authorities finding the threats not credible. In Jeffersonville, Indiana, a 12-year-old was charged with felony intimidation after threats against two middle schools, which were also found non-credible. Other incidents include a 14-year-old in Richmond, Indiana, arrested for Snapchat threats, and a 15-year-old in Hilo, Hawaii, arrested for potential gang-related threats. These cases underscore the serious nature of school threats and the legal consequences for the minors involved.
