10-Year-Old Boy Arrested for Sending ‘Threatening Messages,’ Cops Say

[@RaleighLink]

Sometimes scaring a kid straight is the best teaching method. They need to understand the consequences for their actions, joking about killing other kids isn't normal especially for a 10 year old. Edit: If you're going to defend this kid, understand that the vast majority of school shootings were reported to the police prior to the kid shooting the school (dating back to columbine). Threats need to be taken seriously even if it's a 10 year old, otherwise people would be asking why the sheriff didn't act when the other parent reported before this kid shot up a school.

[@GeorgeNadaYT]

That kid doesn't look scared at all.

[@bighands69]

You have no idea of the context on this story. I find it disgusting that people would think it is ok to handcuff a child and lead him out for the world's media to use it for political gains. The very fact that media cameras were theirs to capture the arrest is extremely worrying. The media has already shown that they will lie when it comes to children.

He's 10... This doesn't seem this crazy to me. If he was in Europe he wouldn't be able to get his hands on guns, so there would literally be nothing to be worried about, do we really have to incarcerate all kids who send threats? When I was 11 I told my "friends" I was gonna stab them with a knife after they broke into my parents house and stole $6000. I was just trying to scare them, I didn't plan on actually killing them, that's crazy. I gotta tell you though, if the cops had taken it seriously like they do in the US, I would have gone to a psych ward or juvenile prison for a long time and I would have turned into a monster. I would have dedicated my life to destroying the society that destroyed me. Other inmates would have taught me how to become a real criminal and how to fight. But instead of that my parents sent me to California (from France) to start a new life in a better environment, surrounded by people who aren't criminals, and that approach saved me. Compassion saved my life. Mass incarceration is NOT the answer.

I didn't joke about guns but I did joke about hurting other kids. Mostly the kids that bullied me. I think if it wasn't for shows like Dragon Ball and video games, I wouldn't have grown up wanting to be like the hero of those stories I loved. As an adult, I'm normally the one who tries the hardest to help people. If I didn't have that goal of wanting to be like the hero, I know I would have grown up to be a very violent and destructive person. Kids who joke and fantasize about death don't have a positive goals like I did. They need better role models.

Parents need to have that conversation with their kids about joking this way. It is not a joke and the consequences could cause them to be arrested! EVERY single threat needs to be taken seriously no matter the age of the person! I have two teenage sons who I’m pretty sure would never joke like this but I’m about to have that conversation with them anyways just so they know! The cop wasn’t in the wrong to do what he did by arresting this 10 yr old IMO.

I remember that officer saying that he was disappointed in me, but also proud to admit what I did was wrong, and gave me a small lecture on how serious this stuff can be.

Several years ago, my son got arrested for making a similar threat. I wasn’t even mad at the parent that ratted out my son. He stayed in juvy, had a court date, I got to hug him and he cried and I told him to learn from it, stay near officers at juvy and suck it up. After that, he had to go to a school for juvy kids and then he had probation, and we had to meet with his probation officer once a month. It is what it is. If we want to live in a society with law and order, then kids have to learn. My son never got in trouble before this and he hasn’t gotten in trouble after it.

My bro made a joke about school shooting and my house got raided with cops. Took my bro away. There was no doubt he was going to jail that day. He's clean but he knows not to joke around like that. People can take it seriously, especially nowadays.

It doesn't matter if this kid is 10 or younger. If he has thoughts about shooting others in school he sure can act on it as well. The sheriff is right. Better to has his picture on TV than 20 dead kids pictures on TV later on if it's not prevented. Parents need to do a better job on talking to their kids now a day!

[@kalidevi26]

this was actually very stupid. they need to make actions based on information. obviously the boy didn't buy those guns so they had no right to arrest him. boys always play war.. police cannot arrest me for possession of drugs without finding actual drugs just based on photo that was clearly found on google images. sorry but this is a stupid action. and traumatizing to the boy. he doesn't deserve being a sacrificial lamb for THEIR mishandling of situations and the illogical gun laws in this country.

[@patch3938]

The arrest was right to do. Kids need to be talked to/taught by their parents and caregivers of rights and wrongs. This child should definitely be closely watched for a long while. Better safe then sorry especially in this time of much tragedies.

[@EricK-tb2dn]

I agree with arresting him, I don't think it was acceptable to show his face, he probably has enough problems with social media he will only be ostracized more. He needs therapy, not isolation. Think of how dumb you/we were at 10, in 1998 I thought I could throw a firework in the electrical room too explode the campus and run out while it exploded like an action movie.

Did he have a history of violence? What’s his academic record like? Any signs of mental illness? Any guns in the household? Get a warrant.

I completely agree with the cop here. Yeah the kid is only ten, young as hell. But at the same time, texts like these shouldn’t be taken lightly. This could potentially teach this kid that in this world, actions have consequences. Enough is enough with crying at news headlines about kids and teachers getting slain in what is supposed to be a safe haven for children. I said this once and I’ll say it again, “if it is federal law for children to go to school up until they either graduate or decide to drop out, then it should be a federal OBLIGATION to protect these teachers and students.” Point, blank, PERIOD
