Sorry to be honest here but.
Your whole story seems sketchy and poorly planned out before you started typing.
It is my opinion your just a drama queen, who has made up some cock a mamy story about some fictitious kid planning a school shooting.
You have no credibility in my eyes, do you know why? Here let me tell you why.
You have a kid getting threatened with death, you have some other kid planning a shooting at school, and what do you do?
YOU COME HERE FOR ADVICE.
YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT TO DO FOR THE FOLLOWING DAY?
In a real situation like that, thinking ATS first would not happen. Fantasy island, that is where your story has come from.
Please log off the internet for a few months, I think you may have taken all this to seriously.
Just saying.

Believe me I wanted to go yelling, shouting and throwing the accusing finger up their noses this morning!!! I would have LOVED to treat them like the children they are in my eyes by not taking the bull by the horns when my daughter first brought this to their attention and it is my opinion the child at whatever age once having admitted as much, should have been held, detained until his parents came for a meeting and to be sent home for these types of horrendous threats until he had time to think things through or seek professional help.
I have so much to say on this if it were just me, one crazy Mom who has had her children threatened, and those of the other beautiful lives at our local school.
How to cross that thin line without making waves turn into tsunamis that will only devastate everyone? How to make such a judgement against or in my eyes for a child who is either really sick or crying out for help without doing more damage?
I truly want to know.

A lot would depend on the age of the boy and if he actually has access to a firearm. If you are getting nowhere with the school I would take it directly to the boy's parents. We had an incident with something similar when my youngest was still in school and I took it straight to the kid's mother. After a few choice words my daughter never had a problem with this boy again, and from what my daughter and other kids from the school bus told me the boy couldn't sit right for about a week.

Are you freaking kidding me? It is completely inappropriate to be discussing this on ATS, even more so having your step daughter be a part of it. You need to call the police and keep your children home until the situation is resolved. I'm 95% sure this is just bluster from the kid, but I wouldn't be willing to bet a child's life on that.
If I were in your shoes here is what I would do. Ask a mod to close the thread, contact the police department. Make sure they have contacted the appropriate school admins (you should speak with the principal and whoever is in charge of your school district) in the morning and do not send your child to school. Retain legal counsel, seek a restraining order and then not talk about it with strangers on the internet until everything is finished. This is something that should only be discussed with VERY close personal friends and family, not broadcast to the entire world.
I am not a lawyer, and this is not legal advice, merely what I would personally do in your situation. I think it incredibly childish you posted this here. Your failing to contact the police before asking a conspiracy forum is reprehensible.

I think in some ways you are right, there should be a plan in place and certain steps to ascertain whether or not this is an innocent outburst or a proposed real threat. I would sheet my pants if something were to go down and noting had been done prior to intervene on behalf of not only the innocents but the child who is so destroyed that he would chose violence as a way to solve their problems.

Load of BS like I never heard here before, and when it comes to KIDS you piss me off.
Scared? good, you should be. I am not 100% sure spewing this malarkey is a crime, but I assure you the police WILL have something to talk about with you, as they now have this whole stew of crap you have spilled here.
Crickets.
MODS please lock this thread, it is 1000% BS. 17k drama classes.

I must be missing something here...but the only thing I'm seeing that seems inappropriate are the public calls to lock the thread. To some people on ATS, it's a community of friends. Some here even know each other beyond just what can be found in the open threads. (gasp)
Antar is someone I know to be well grounded, reasonable and credible from seeing posts over an extended period and some chat on a few things in the past. Logging into a blind IRC chat room or a place where you don't know people would be rather silly .... but that simply isn't the case for everyone here.edit on 2-2-2013 by Wrabbit2000 because: (no reason given)

There is so much still going on with this case, I feel like a failure as a parent for not pushing harder Friday, I should have gone straight to the top from the beginning.
They seem set against making issue of this.
With all the privacy issues I have not gotten the answers I need to know that my children and the rest of the children threatened will be safe, the boy is lying and trying to minimize his threats.
I feel almost frozen over this, and will take it up again on Monday. In the meantime I trying to find numbers of the other children who were directly threatened because I need some solid parental support to continue addressing this.
Be glad you are not in my place. I do not want to harm the boy more, I do not want him to go crazy on himself or others, I do want him to get help and everyone around him to be safe.edit on 2-2-2013 by antar because: (no reason given)
