#ThinkBeforeYouPost #podcast /msG6u2EY0q- FBI May 25, 2018 Learn about an #FBI case that shows why fake threats can result in real consequences. Just last month, a Henderson County student received a punishment of five years in prison for a threat to “shoot up the school.” Many of the said threats followed the fatal shootings in Marshall County, Ky., and Parkland, Florida.
A hoax threat on social media led authorities to two arrests and to issue federal charges in Jessamine County. Two months ago, the police took 500 rounds and a gun from a Lexington student. There has been an alarming increase in hoax threats following a wave of gun-related school threats in Kentucky and nationally prompting the agency to launch said campaign.
