To clarify my comment (" If somebody called 911 and said the things that
were posted on the article, they would take it seriously, and we should
too.")...if somebody called the police and said they were going kill people
(like the user
did<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eltham_High_School&dif…)179366969>),
they would not be so quick to dismiss it, and that Im absolutely certain.

know in one of the emails on this thread there was a link to an article
where it had happened. I don't think we need to be playing detective. Lets
leave that to the detectives (or police in general). Specifically speaking
on the issue that I started this thread with (the posts at AN), at the *very
least*, the school should have been immediately contacted. If somebody
called 911 and said the things that were posted on the article, they would
take it seriously, and we should too.

brought to AN / ANI, some people take it upon themselves to declare
these as pranks, or jokes. Is that really appropriate?

If you take them seriously (and everyone follows up) you end up with
the FBI coming down on a 13 year old. If you don't there is a slight
chance a serious crime will occur which you might have prevented.
On the other hand, you end up with the FBI coming down on a 13 year
old.
In terms of preventing recidivism, this is fairly
powerful...
