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.
5 or 6 here in Terre Haute, IN from both high schools and middle schools. We’re not a small town, but we’re not exactly a huge metropolis either. This is happening all over.
Some dumbass at my kid’s high school recently wrote on a bathroom wall, “Gonna shoot up the school on [date, three days from now].”
They figured out who it was, he’s been charged with four felonies.
Wow, small world. I’m in Terre Haute a couple times a year for business and will be out there again in a few weeks. I’m amazed it’s a problem there too.
I’m sorry to hear that.
