What are your thoughts of kids being criminally changed for making false bomb threats?
About 2 weeks ago, Volusia County Sheriff’s office arrested an 11 year old boy for making a false bomb threat at a school bus on the way to school. As a former substitute teacher, it infuriates me to see kids that make false threats like this. I don’t have any kids but I personally feel that law enforcement should start handing out harsh punishments for actions like this. At this day and age, it should be common sense for kids to not make false threats after everything we all have gone through the past several years in terms of school shootings/ bomb threats. At some point, we have to stop giving grace and start handing out punishment in situations like this.
What are your thoughts on this issue ? Are there any alternatives solutions you might suggest to handle a situation like this ?
