Global Issue of School Threats Highlighted by Arrests

In Delhi, over 100 schools have received bomb threats via email in the past two weeks, all of which have been hoaxes. One of the senders was traced to a Class VII student attempting to avoid an exam, highlighting challenges in tracing threats sent via VPNs. In the US, similar incidents have occurred, such as the arrest of a middle school student in Bellingham for social media threats and a student in New Carlisle charged for a Snapchat threat. Additionally, a 15-year-old in Endwell, NY, was arrested for making a threat of mass harm on Snapchat. These incidents underscore the growing issue of school threats and the importance of swift law enforcement response, as demonstrated in the Broome County case. Authorities emphasize the need for serious treatment of such threats to ensure school safety.
