An 18-year-old female student from Huntington High School was charged with making an online threat of mass harm, prompting urgent response from local police. The threat was reported by a tipster on Snapchat, leading to immediate action by Suffolk County officers. While the nature of the threat was not specified, school district officials assured that it was deemed non-credible. Superintendent Beth McCoy emphasized the impact such incidents can have on students and encouraged parental support, reinforcing the school's commitment to safety in collaboration with local police.
We understand that situations like this can affect students in various ways. If your child feels the need to talk to someone about this or any other concerns they may have, please reach out to the mental health staff in your child's building for support.
Such actions may have serious consequences and can impact our entire school community. Rest assured, the Huntington Union Free School District is committed to working closely with our School Resource Officers and local police to ensure a safe and secure environment for all students and staff.
