I doubt it. First, it's not clear he committed the offense while on school grounds. Second, it's not violent. Usually you need to be involved with drugs or weapons to get expulsion.

But he'll get a heavy dose of restorative justice!

Honestly....the kid clearly needs intensive help if he's making email bomb threats for attention. So while I think RJ is cringeworthy and meek way to discipline with high-risk behavior, if they coupled it with suspension/expulsion, it could be something....

Thank you.
I am honestly shocked by the tone of most of the posts. The lack of empathy makes me feel pretty hopeless about our area.
The child is 12. He should not be expelled but probably needs another school where he can get more support. He is not a sicko. He needs help.

And it’s really the people like you that make ME hopeless. This kid doesn’t need “support.” He’s effed in the head. “Support” won’t fix that.
Face reality here folks. This is not a low level cry for help. This is a broken person who can’t be fixed. Show more empathy to the victims than the perp. Please.

You're advocating for throwing away a twelve-year-old.

No, I don't support that.

I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree. Let the police handle it.

He can't be charged so they had a strongly worded press conference. Is that handling it or are our legislators inept bafoons?

Who said throwing away? Expel him. Put him in a mental health facility for a long time. Keep him from terrorizing other people.

baboons?

We don't expel students. He may have to write sn apology note but his parents can opt out of RJ, as well.

+100

Sure, maybe he can't be fixed. But throwing him away without trying is inhuman.

It can also create a real monster who actually does act out with violence in the future

So because he can’t be charged he’s getting off scott free? Just gets to go home and pretend nothing happened? No consequences with MCPS?

Our legislators are inept buffoons regardless of this case.

I work in an inpatient mental health facility. We are full of broken people who can’t be fixed. Have these people been thrown away? They receive food, lodging, therapy, family visits. Is that the definition of “thrown away” to you?

MCPS also needs a better social media monitoring and management strategy than what they have. Since they created a position of chief medical officer, they probably need to deputize someone under IT with monitoring and managing the risk and threat of student activity on social media. Could be a joint effort with MCPD and an extension of the CEO program.

LoL please explain how that would work! Figure out and follow every student account? Only follow the obvious ones and give a false sense of security? Elaborate!

If you don't know how law enforcement uses enterprise-grade tools to monitor and investigate social media activity, you're probably not well-versed enough to engage in the conversation. So it's best to just stay out of it instead of assuming it's unfeasible.

Expelling him is not "throwing him away." He is not dead and he will still get an education. It will just be in an alternative school or online, which is a fair consequence for a child who continuously makes terroristic threats to his home school community. That's a natural and reasonable consequence for a pretty severe action.

I live in another state and there was a kid in my town who had set up a computer program to call threats in on a weekly basis. So even if this kid was in custody when a threat happened, it could still be him. It depends how he was doing it.

You must be one of the dumbasdes who makes recommendations for "enterprise grade" monitoring software. LoL. Btw there was just a bomb threat at Springbrook right after they identified the 12 ear old

At least they can have a restorative circle and discuss their feelings on this.
