Schools across the United States are experiencing a surge in threats, often originating from social media. In Lehigh Valley, police have increased their presence at schools following unspecified threats. Dougherty County and Chesterfield County also reported threats, with the latter arresting a 13-year-old for online threats. In Columbus, three teenagers were charged over threats against local schools. Multiple districts nationwide, including Garland County and Marion County, have faced similar challenges, often tracing back to hoaxes or non-credible threats circulated online. The nationwide trend has heightened security measures and anxiety among students, parents, and educators.
