Exasperated with a spate of false school shooting threats, a Florida sheriff promised last week to post the picture of any “kid” who threatened school violence – then he quickly followed through on his statement.
On Sept 16, the sheriff, Mike Chitwood of Volusia County, posted a picture and video of an 11-year-old boy who, he said, had made written threats online to commit a mass shooting at a middle school.
