I was on IRC and BB’s by 10.
Being on SC talking to friends and classmates isn’t crazy to me, arresting a kid and holding him for 10 days is tho.
What’s really crazy is a society that lets guns proliferate through it to the point school shootings are common.
no way to stop this says only country where ... yadda yadda you know the drill
IRC took some effort to set up, and some patience with the internet back then. These modern methods like snapchat are easy mode
In my day we had to walk uphill both ways to get to the Internet. Darn kids don’t know how good they have it.
He used his mom's phone..
Where are they learning this behavior, I wonder?
There's a contagion effect, where news of school shootings inspires others to attempt the same.
Does the news even cover these anymore?
SEND THEM TO THE CHILD MINES
Please don't, we have enough. No need to excavate more.
The children yearn for the mines
Turns out the President of the United States is going to be a role model for American children whether we like it or not.
In senior year, my school district had 30+ bomb threats in one year. Every time we'd hear the loudspeaker ring, we'd just start grabbing our shit. They stopped telling people about them after a while because evacuating the kids once a week was a shitshow. Every threat was linked to a handful of kids who wanted attention or wanted to get out of tests/homework. I was out sick on the day the feds showed up and started arresting kids.
We got 4 or 5 a year before big tests when I was in high school in the 90s.
The funny part was that there was a pay phone outside the school but right by the main walkway everyone used to get into the school. I guarantee you the bomb threats were always called anonymously from that pay phone, almost in view of the office.
Kids are so dumb.
Yeah, but as far as I know, they always got away with it. Just like the kids that pulled the fire alarm for the same reason.
The kids at my school didn't get away with it because social media and all that shit. This was also in 2014-2015, so tracking down whodunnit was exceptionally easy lol
5 or 6 here in Terre Haute, IN from both high schools and middle schools. We're not a small town, but we're not exactly a huge metropolis either. This is happening all over.
Some dumbass at my kid's high school recently wrote on a bathroom wall, "Gonna shoot up the school on [date, three days from now]."
They figured out who it was, he's been charged with four felonies.
Wow, small world. I'm in Terre Haute a couple times a year for business and will be out there again in a few weeks. I'm amazed it's a problem there too.
I'm sorry to hear that.
If "inducing panic" is a chargeable offence, I think I know an orange terrorist and his sidekick that need to spend a few nights in jail.
Kids will push the limits, school shootings are a thing, kids are going to joke/mull the concept of shootings like anything else.
I guess the plan is to increase school shootings and their prominence in people's minds, but also come down increasingly hard on anyone who happens to have it affect them the wrong way.
(The child must learn how to hide from shooters. It must wear bullet proof backpacks. It must hear about shootings all year, every year. It must never make light of this topic, or else.)
Alyse Ley, a child and adolescent psychiatrist at Michigan State University and the director of a program aimed at preventing adolescent targeted violence, said that “behavior is a way of communicating” — and that it is the job of adults to figure out what students are trying to say.
Lately, she added, it seems that “kids are screaming out for help.”
