Sheriff Mike Chitwood expressed his frustration with the rise of school shooting hoaxes, stating, 'Since parents, you don't want to raise your kids, I'm going to start raising them.' He believes parents need to be accountable for their children's actions.
Chitwood's novel approach emphasizes public accountability, as he plans to post the mugshots of students arrested for making threats. He states, 'Every time we make an arrest, your kid's photo is going to be put out there.' He aims to deter future threats.
Addressing the serious issue of false threats, Chitwood highlighted a specific case involving an 11-year-old who allegedly threatened a school shooting, saying, 'This is not a game. These are serious crimes that disrupt our schools and divert police resources.'
The sheriff's announcement on social media led to significant public interest, as his video showcasing the young offender garnered over 270,000 views. This highlighted the community's concern about the increasing number of school threats.
