Multiple school districts across the United States are grappling with a surge in non-credible and actual threats made via social media. In Colorado Springs, local police and school districts are on high alert, though most threats have been deemed non-credible and are believed to originate from outside the state. In Scottsboro, Alabama, a high school student was arrested for making a threat and faces significant disciplinary actions. Similarly, three students in Manatee County, Florida, were arrested for written threats to kill, highlighting the serious consequences of such actions. South Carolina has seen over 60 threats since a recent high-profile school shooting in Georgia, resulting in 21 youths being charged. Law enforcement across various states emphasize that all threats are taken seriously and encourage parents to educate their children on the severe repercussions of making school threats.
