A 14-year-old boy in Athens was arrested after threatening a teacher over cell phone use in school and allegedly damaging school property. In California, a 12-year-old student in Tehachapi was arrested for making social media threats of school violence, claiming it was a joke, but faced serious legal consequences. Similarly, an 11-year-old in Tracy was taken into custody for sending violent threats against Williams Middle School via text messages, with charges forwarded to the District Attorney. These incidents reflect a broader concern regarding youth making threats in educational settings, leading authorities to emphasize the importance of communication about the consequences of such actions. Schools are increasingly implementing strict rules regarding cell phone usage and addressing threats to ensure safety. The police departments in these cases have reiterated their zero-tolerance stance on threats against schools.
