A threat to schools nationwide circulating on TikTok has caused confusion and panic among parents and school administrators across the country.
The FBI issued a statement regarding threats nationwide and in the Los Angeles area: “The FBI takes all potential threats seriously. We regularly work with our law enforcement partners to determine the credibility of any threats. As always, we would like to remind members of the public that if they observe anything suspicious to report it to law enforcement immediately.
"It's not just somebody in a classroom of 15 people hearing someone make a threat," she explains."It's 15,000 people on social media, because it gets passed around and it becomes larger and larger and larger."Marci Peru, a mom of two daughters, kept her 16-year-old home from school due to safety concerns due to similar threats spreading on social media last week.
Lauren Melissa Reynolds, a mom with three children all attending Oldham County school district in Kentucky, says she's concerned about the nationwide threat, and says that schools should be a safe place for children. "Whatever you can do to limit their exposure to these images and sensationalized news stories is going to be for the better," she explains."And checking yourself to also make sure that you're not playing into it. If we model it for them, they absolutely pick up on our reactions and our fears."
