Social Media Threat Leads to Juvenile Complaint

November 8, 2019 Social Media Threat Leads to Juvenile Complaint

On November 7th, detectives submitted and obtained a juvenile complaint for a Clarke County School District (CCSD) middle school student. The complaint stems from an October 30th school threat made via social media.

The incident began on October 30th when a concerned school district parent viewed the threat and contacted ACCPD. Our investigators contacted CCSD administration and began an investigation. ACCPD’s initial investigation indicated that there was not an immediate threat to the schools.

Further investigation led detectives to a 13-year-old female student who was responsible for the threat. ACCPD detectives obtained a juvenile complaint for her which consisted of three counts of Terroristic Threats and one count of Disruption of a School.

Working as partners, the Clarke County School District and the Athens-Clarke County Police Department take the security of school children and employees seriously. We encourage families to discuss the dangers of weapons and the use of threatening language in school and on social media. Please remind your children to report any weapons or threats to an adult immediately.
