The Riverside police reported that the 13-year-old girl targeted Chemawa Middle School with violent threats on social media, causing concern among parents and officials. The girl's posts listed classmates' names, prompting many parents to pick up their children early. Despite the panic, law enforcement stated that she did not have access to weapons and was arrested on suspicion of making criminal threats.
Law enforcement officials noted that since a tragic school shooting in Winder, Georgia, on September 4, there has been a nationwide wave of social media threats against schools. In recent weeks, authorities have witnessed multiple incidents, including the arrest of several minors across various school districts, which underscores the growing concern around safety in schools and the influence of social media on youth behavior.
