[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I almost posted about this last night, to ask if your local schools were also getting these threats.  I'm out of state on the west coast and we've had a week full of this craziness with lockdowns everyday, a list of schools one day, notes in the bathrooms another day, pictures and texts giving plans and showing the guns laying on a bed.

Interesting. So the list of schools/guns on a bed is a sick social media trend. [/quote]

Yes.  But of course there's the fear of, what if?  :(

Yesterday's posts here were screenshots of "the plan"... day 1 show the lists of schools, day 2 scare the school with pics/notes, day 3 pull the fire alarm then shoot 'em up as they come out of the schools.  (So yesterday's scare tactic for today was "if your child's school has a fire alarm today, tell them to run like hell and hide outside the school instead of lining up.")  It's sick what these kids (or adults) are doing, scaring parents, scaring students with their pranks - it's like screaming FIRE in a crowded room, but worse because social media is screaming it x100,000,000.[/quote]

This is truly sick. The SM platform needs to out these threat makers to the police[/quote]

I guess to be fair, the actual threats don't originate on social media.  The threats are usually in screenshots of notes or phone pics or texts, and I'm assuming are shared to students via some sort of social media.  It's the police scanner, parent, and neighborhood social media groups sharing and reposting the threats and lockdowns that's adding fuel to it all.[/quote]
