current law regarding school threats to include threats of violence made from off-site, including by phone or social media.

<div>Can you show us that recent legislation has classified such threats as a misdemeanor. All the sources I have browsed state that such violators are given nothing more than a citation.</div>

activities as they delete posts/messages automatically. Other apps are designed to look harmless but enable pictures/screenshots to be hidden or locked from view without secretly entering a password. It is up to each parent how they raise their children, which
includes the use of social media. Please be aware of these apps and technologies specifically designed to be secret. The entire world can be accessed from a smartphone, tablet or computer, all of which have photo and video capabilities."</p>
