Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood has unequivocally declared war against the rising tide of hoax school threats, asserting that parents need to step up their game or face the consequences of their children's actions.
During a recent press conference, Sheriff Chitwood articulated his frustration regarding the alarming increase in false threats that have prompted serious investigations, costing law enforcement tens of thousands of dollars.
"This is absolutely out of control, and it ends now," he stated, highlighting the strain that these hoaxes put on local authorities and schools.
In a bold move aimed at discouraging reckless behavior, Sheriff Chitwood announced that the department would begin publicly "perp-walking" children arrested for making such threats and releasing their mug shots.
"Every time we make an arrest, your kid's photo is gonna be put out there," he proclaimed, emphasizing the need for accountability among both children and their parents.
He further stressed that if parents are found to be complicit or negligent regarding their children's actions, they would also face public shaming alongside their children.
Chitwood's commitment to transparency was underscored when he stated that he would create posters featuring mug shots of juveniles arrested for making serious threats, making it clear that this behavior will not be tolerated.
In a recent case, a young boy was taken into custody after allegedly threatening a school shooting, prompting Chitwood to follow through on his promise to expose reckless behavior.
"He had a written list of names and targets," the sheriff noted, showcasing the severity of such actions.
The child's claim that it was "all a joke" fell flat in the face of the real-world dangers created by false threats, something Chitwood highlighted as unacceptable.
“What’s funny about traditional pranks has severe consequences,” he pointed out, reminding residents of the serious impact these threats have on the community.
With increasing pressure from a culture that often turns to humor in the face of danger, Sheriff Chitwood's tough stance serves as a reminder that there are real repercussions for actions that disrupt school safety.
"I can and will release the names and photos of juveniles who are committing these felonies," he declared, reinforcing his administration's commitment to keeping schools and communities safe.
By drawing a line in the sand and invoking the support of parents, Sheriff Chitwood is sending a clear message: It’s time to take responsibility for our children’s actions and ensure that school safety is prioritized.
