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.

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

And you are clearly one of the dumbasdes who talks about things they don't know about, nay says everything but proposes no solutions and is generally a waste of space and time. You add no value and you're not worth paying attention to. Go away.

And this 12 year old likely isn't the only one doing as has been pointed out. Either he's part of a ring or he has copy cats or he has this program set up to do it automatically. Which wouldn't be hard conclusions to draw if you had a shred of intelligence and imagination.

Instead of holding a 12 year old accountable, why don't we just make bomb threats a non issue. The mere threat of a bomb shouldn't close down a school. There should be more evidence of an actual bomb before the other students day is disrupted.

Bomb threat at Springbrook.

The answer is that mcps should use the same software on its students that law enforcement uses on criminals according to the pp. On your children. In your home.

I suspect the vast majority of people are not suggesting that a 12-year old should be incarcerated - but are frustrated by the apparent lack of any tools for accountability under Maryland law. There are lots of options short of locking them up. Community service? Restitution? Some kind of MCPD "scared straight" program? Charging the parents with negligent supervision of a minor? Or a combination of all of these.

This is the issue. Whether it is a kid making bomb threats, a kid bringing a gun to school, or a kid distributing fentanyl in a school bathroom.

When the kids are caught, our laws are such that there are very little consequences for a minor.

The kids get away with bad/criminal behavior and go on to do even worse.

We’ve got too many “oh this is a poor innocent child crying out for help” people who live in LaLa land advocating for no or very minimal punishment. This isn’t helping.

Do we know for sure that this is even a current MCPS student? There’s nothing in the press release to indicate that. Nor their gender, for that matter.

I seem to remember at least one past incident where a former student now living overseas posted a threat of violence against an MCPS school.

The more you explain it, the worse of an idea it sounds like
"Detect cannot be used to surveil specific social media accounts, access closed networks or private accounts, or monitor private conversations or emails."

Seriously? If there is a bomb our kids could be killed along with the teachers and other staff.

Children under 13 can't be charged with a crime unless it's a violent crime.
This explains absolutely everything

No it doesn’t. It doesn’t explain anything. And contains no additional info beyond the press release in the first post. How is making a bomb threat NOT a crime of violence?
