@stumpknocker the little girl they threatened my sister has been known to has discipline issues. She treated to go to my sister house to end her life. My sister is scared to go to school now because she has to be in several classes with the girl and the girl has had her friends retaliate against my sister.Yet they didnt so much as suppend her for the day. All im saying is if you make a threat to kill someone literally saying “im going to hunt you down and kill you” you should face some sort of repercussion.

@ Ardian: Regardless of what was going on in this kid’s life, what he said was inappropriate and he is paying the consequences for his choice. What happens next will be up to him in regard to how he handles himself when he is interviewed and when the “other” authorities get involved.

Personally, if I were employed at his school, or even a student there, I’d want him to be punished for making such a threat and not be allowed to return. It’s not OK to threaten innocent people with harm just because you may have something going on in your life. Bullied? He needs to report it, not threaten others. You get the picture. His choices have him exactly where he is today, just as my choices have me exactly where I am today.

well opened minded, he allegedly made statements of wishing to bring in a weapon and hurting people, guess we will find out when they pop open his computer or cell phone. but same thing happened in parkland, And people spoke out about it, yet nothing was done. So glad some one did, you see this is how it works. As I said in another post! Better to be pro-active, than stand a round later going, How did this happen? Will accept the back lash , from those because I thought it was posted! my bad, no excuse for it. But we are in the real world, and a threat must be treated as a real threat. no matter what age.

well he made a threat to take a weapon in to a school and hurt people, play time is over, law enforcement has ever right to do what they did, This is how you stop it, you make and example out of it, Oh some will say he is just a child! Really, never had ideas like that when I was 12, So yes, let the younger generation find out that they cannot make stupid idiot post, about this, We are now in real world, real time. And may be parents will be paying more attention to what they are doing on cell phones( which kill texting and driving) and their computers. better to be pro-active than stand around later going, How did this happen? Want to stop school shootings? treat ever threat as a real threat!

These kids making the calls or social media postings that are threatening to schools or other kids or whomever / whatever, can we get a count of how many have Violent video games at home on computers or on their cell phones and mobile devices?

Thinking many of these kids are seeking attention in a terrible manner.
What sort of attention do they get at home? Kids and parents need to fish together more.

Violence in video games has changed the way kids view their world.

@Dee
Sure. Cause the death penalty is such a deterrent to murderers. I’m sure your right, making an example out this kid will almost certainly make any other rational clear headed thinking child most definitely think twice about making foolish comments they have no ability of carrying out. I bet you believe the government actually cares about you and your family’s well being also right ?
Why make any laws, murder is already illegal so nobody ought to be killing anyone, correct ? Oh, that’s right, criminals don’t follow the law anyway so we’ll keep punishing good folks. I think it’s time we get some clippers and fleece all you sheep.

@Dee, Logic , BD and Chris… I wholeheartedly agree with what you think. Sad it’s come down to this but who’s to say the 12 year old was just spouting off. Better to protect others AND show it’s not a game these days to say such things. The investigators should also look into what is causing his anger issues. Is he being bullied? Using drugs? I hope they dig deeper into the why’s.

My child was slapped in the face causing her nose to bleed n her lip was busted where her teeth hit her lip during the slap and my child was given Saturday detention and the one that hit her was given In school suspension. I really don’t understand how they decide to discipline these kids at Bellview Middle School. That other student just got a slap on the wrist last time I checked that’s battery

Avis and Nod, the only problem with your rationalization is that 40 years ago we didn’t have constant school shootings. Our country has changed and we have to evolve with it. So if a kid goes to jail for making threats about shooting up the school, even if it was just a youngster lashing out with no real intent, so be it. Let it be a lesson to the other kids that these kind of threats aren’t taken lightly. After all, it’s our children’s lives we’re talking about.
