TURNER, Maine — Maine State Police on Wednesday charged a 17-year-old male student at Leavitt Area High School with terrorizing.
The threats were made Tuesday morning and Monday night on the social media site Facebook toward staff and students at the school, police said. School officials contacted police who worked with school officials and the student’s parents on the investigation.
After the student was identified, he was interviewed and took full responsibility, police said. No other students are believed to be involved, police said.
The case will be turned over to the district attorney’s office and the juvenile court system.

Terrorizing? By internet? Give me a break.
And if nothing were done about it and the threats were carried out???
Then you would want to know WHY nothing was done about it and demand answers. Give ME a break.
It’s a new world, get used to it.
Threats are made against the U.S., via the internet, by radicals all over the world. Most of these groups have a record of killing large groups of people. Should these threats be ignored just because these people don’t walk up to the front door of the White House and make the threats in person?
A threat is a threat. It doesn’t matter if it’s made in person, in writting, over the internet, or in any other manner. You can’t possibly be that uninformed so I’m guessing you’re just attempting to work people up.
Terrorizing, maybe he needs some time spent in one of Maine’s prisons… There he can check out sexual assaults!
