So this kid at CHS posted on his facebook that he was going to go Columbine on the school on 4/20 and take out every one who ever was mean to him.

School is alerted. Kid takes the post off FB but has said he will do it tomorrow instead of 4/20.

Daughter has met this kid. She doesn't think he'll do it, that he's all bluster. She said he is always insulting people and "correcting" teachers, etc but if anyone says anything negative to him he blows it way out of proportion. To me that sounds like the exact type of kid who would go nuts.

So, SUPPOSEDLY, the school is on top of this BUT a lot of kids are not going on Friday just in case.

Would you send your kid to school? Personally I want to grab the little azzhat and put him out of his misery today so that my children's education is not compromised by his little snit.

Man - what a judgement call. I don't envy you that. On one hand you want your kid to go to school and not back down from some loser, but on the other hand, you just don't want to take that chance.

I say don't take that chance. Make a doctor's appointment or something.

Also, is there anyway to find out from the school exactly what they are doing to ensure safety at the school?

School was already closed when I learned of this. I'm waiting for them to actually answer the phones this morning.

What action has the school taken?

As a parent, make the decision that is best for you and your child. I wouldn't lose any sleep about your child's education being compromised on a Friday before Spring break. Chances are pretty good that they're not going to miss a whole lot on that day. And, the whole thing sounds like a wonderful excuse for kids to use to miss that day. :sarcasm: Reminds me of another escape mechanism that kids used to use to get out of tests and things in the early years when I was teaching high school. I'm not going to say what it was because they don't need any more ideas these days.

Do what you feel is best and never be afraid to err on the side of caution. It's better than the alternative.

wow....the school should really take it serious!

and I think she may be getting sick around that time :yay:... no school..

but the bad thing is... he could do it any day... when ever he cracks


:huggy:... good luck

He should be arrested and expelled.

Let us know what they say. I agree with ICit...the concern is not just tomorrow, but later down the road. Obviously the kid is disturbed on some level or he wouldn't be posting things like that on FB.

As somd covers several counties, which CHS are you referring to in your post?

Thank you. Many Calvert county parents are now breathing a sigh of relief that it isn't Calvert High.

I don't know what they do in St. Mary's but Calvert County Public Schools has a "rumor control" feature on their website that lets parents check out rumors that they've heard about the schools or school system. It is helpful.

All schools have procedures in place to deal with these kinds of incidents and rest assured that they take them very, very seriously and the kids know this. Kids sometimes say foolish things because they are kids and have no impulse control sometimes. Kids also, in most cases, send out "help me" signals. Perhaps this was one. Either way, it will be handled at the school as long as they know about it. The school will get out some kind of communication to parents just as soon as they can. They are probably still sorting through the situation and investigating it. Parents of this school need to remain calm, wait for info, do what you think is right for your child, and try to refrain from fanning any rumor flames. God knows we've got enough of that right now with the Martin/Zimmerman thing.

Hell, even an old-fashioned ass-paddling in the principal's office would take care of most problems.

My son is in class with the boy that posted this rant and said he has had "issues" before. The boy is always acting towards the teacher and other students. Apparently the only action taken has been seeing the school counselor for pschy eval.

In the spirit of some of the latest posts. Is the boy with the "issues" white, black, Latino or other?

He should be arrested and expelled.

I agree but can they expell or arrest? At this point, has he broken any school rules?

School was already closed when I learned of this. I'm waiting for them to actually answer the phones this morning.

If you can't get through to the school or get messages returned, try calling the SMCPS Dept of Safety and Security.

SMCPS - Safety and Security (http://www.smcps.org/dss/safety-security)




.

I agree but can they expell or arrest? At this point, has he broken any school rules?

I'd say posting threats online towards the school or its inhabitants is punishable on some level. Or should be. His parents must know about this by now so you would think they would keep him home or away from the school.

I agree but can they expell or arrest? At this point, has he broken any school rules?

Terrorist threats are against the law. Surely breaking the law is against school rules, although I'd have to see their handbook to be certain.

Kid should be expelled and arrested.

I am really surprised that parents havent been notified of the incident. I mean I get anywhere from 3-7 calls a week from SMCPS regarding PTA crap, late buses, after school activities :blahblah: Yet some whackado post he is going to pull a Columbine at my childs school and I dont even get a courtesy call saying "nothing is going on" "it was a rumor" "not a credible threat" whatever. Bull####! :bs:

If you're correct, we would be seeing something on local media about a juvenile having been arrested. Are we getting the whole story here?

I get that I remember the rumor mills from my HS days. I still think the school should make some type of call or send somethign home w/ students to set parents at ease. This isnt Bobby is going to fight John on friday during lunch kinda scenario.

Should be pretty easy to verify if he indeed posted threats. But you're right - some kid says he saw something on another kid's FB, and the rumor mill takes it from there.

Actually I have heard from 3 of my friends who also have kids at CHS about this situation.

Okay if that's the case, what did your friends say that the school told them when they called the school?

Actually I have heard from 3 of my friends who also have kids at CHS about this situation.

Still hearsay..... I am sure the authorities and schools don't take this lightly...

1. He did post the statement but then deleted it. Unfortunately no one "captured" the page at that time.

2. Child has admitted to making the statement but also stated that he was "blowing off steam" (not my words and probably not his either).

3. School and his parents are aware.

4. Child is in counselling, but is still searched daily when he gets off the bus. (This will not help if he has an unknown accomplice, but whatever).

5. For those who for some reason think race matters, child is caucasian.

6. Investigation quietly continuing to ensure no accomplices.

7. I have to be at the school later today on a different matter and will see what other information I can gather from the deputy assigned to the school.

Okay if that's the case, what did your friends say that the school told them when they called the school?

We all called. I personally was told it wasnt a credible threat.

I still think something should go out to parents. Like such and such happened it was deemed not a credible threat and the situation is being handled.

so he could just do it on the bus instead of the school?

I agree totally. A letter in the least should go out with what steps the school is taking to ensure the kids safety.
They had an incident at Spring Ridge Middle the other week where a dad noticed one of his guns were missing and called the school immediately thinking his son took it. Within minutes the cops were there and automated calls went out to the parents saying that the school and student had been searched and no gun was found. A letter was sent home the same day as well. An automated call came in that evening as well stating that the father had misplaced the gun and it has been found that it was never on school property. I think the school did great! Parents were notified asap and kept updated with every thing from start to finish. Chopticon should at least run some rumor control with a simple letter or automated call. Not saying anything only makes it worse.

He's not going to school tomorrow. Situation is contained.

I'm sure it is all being handled inhouse and the teachers are making sure the students at least know what they need to know for now. Once administration can the situation completely under control and everything accounted for, something will go out to parents and the public - just like it did at LHS a couple weeks ago.

I know for a fact that the situation is being handled - both within the school, at SMCPS, SMCSO and at home. And no, it is not my kid. I'd kick his a$$ if he did something like this.

That is what my girlfriends & I were discussing. We all had the same reaction. If it were one of our kids...ass would have been kicked and then they would have been checked into a hospital for evaluation.

Just got an automated call from the school about the incident. :yay:

Yup, either the school is lying or there are a ton of rumors being stated in this thread.:dingding:

not everyone can hear this, what did it say?

That they and the authorities looked into the situation, the child did not mean it as a threat, all appropriate actions have been taken, the safety of the children is not an issue. In other words, they've got this and breathe easy.

not everyone can hear this, what did it say?


It said: The little retard has been taken care of and his parents are gonna whip his azz. All school activities will continue as planned.

This type of situation has happened way too much down here. It is taken extremely seriously. The school is shut down. The police/school resource officer investigates.The "instigator" is usually arrested and taken to the police station. Their parents come down to claim him/her. The kid is suspended or transferred if a suitable "alternative school" is available.

Does every school up there have a school resource officer or two (a full-time Sheriff deputy or city cop assigned to that school)?

There sure is down here.

Yes. All high schools up here and I think all middle schools have at least one resource officer assigned to the school.

Where is "down here"? :confused:

The automated voice message was 2 minutes 17 seconds long. :lol: Brotha Garth has got the situation on lock. It's all good in the hood. :yay:

So why is the kid still allowed to go to school and not suspended. Threats lead to suspension I always figured?

This has serious issues. He needs to be arrested. He made a threat on people lives. The fact he is not already arrested disturbs me. His parents also need to step in and get him some help. They need to put him in a psychiatric center. If anything happens from this day on its the parents, kid, and schools fault. I would contact the school local police department and find out what's being done. If you your child even laughed at that kid when he got teased then they are a target. I hope the kids parents are reading this. Please get your child help NOW! Innocent lives are at stake. Even yours!

All that was said was "Columbine coming to a school near you" That was it. It was a stupid thing to say but but this entire thing just go blown out of proportion as usual. Rumors and BS has gotten everyone all stirred up.

You can't go around saying or typing things like that. Statements like that are not a joke and should be taken very serious.

Wow. I can't believe you would think that. I think threatening to kill people is a pretty serious thing to "joke about". Maybe the Columbine kid had made a few "jokes" too and no one took him serious.

My daughter came home Wednesday really worried about this rumor. It was going around that he was planning to do it during 7th period lunch and that is the lunch time she has.

I dont know if the kid is being suspended or not. According to my daughter he is not getting punished but of course that is also just a rumor thats going around. I was told he is a senior so if thats true let him finish the rest of the year being home schooled.

Did you get the call from the school? If so did you listen to what he said?

That is not what was said or happened. Rumors blew the thing out of proportion.

Granted I dont agree one bit about what he posted on Facebook. You would thing a senior in high school would have better sense than that.

I don't think you can blow something like this out of proportion. Columbine was a sleepy little rural town before the incident there. Kleebold and Harris weren't some inner city thugs or gang bangers. They were kids who felt slighted and took horrible action.

I don't think there is enough that can be done when something like this happens. I think if the authorities don't take action then when the bad happens, everyone will be pointing the blame finger.

"Columbine coming to a school near you" doesn't really mean that he's planning on shooting up the school. It was a stupid thing to say and it was investigated by the school and the police. People are saying that he was planning on going to school today and shooting the place up. That's the crap that has everyone all stirred up, the rumors, not the facts.

What the OP posted is NOT AT ALL what happened. It was a rumor their child heard.

The events that the principal lined out in his call actually happened LAST WEEK.

I agree w/ you Columbine was a horrible tragedy. After getting the call from the school it made me feel much better that they were right on top of the situation when it happened. Unfortunately rumors (like they always do) ran rampant in the school causing parents (myself included) to get upset & freak out.
