Earlier this month, a detective knocked on Shavon Harvey’s door, in suburban Ohio, to ask about her son. The son had sent a Snapchat message from her phone to his friends, saying there would be shootings at several schools nearby.
She rushed to the police station, where her son was already in custody, but the police did not release him. He was charged with inducing panic, a second-degree felony, and officials kept him in detention for 10 nights.
He is 10.
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.)
