Expert warns social media is fueling school violence threats

WASHINGTON (7News) — Threats of violence in schools are raising fresh concerns for parents and administrators across the DMV region.

In early February, a shooting inside Wootton High School in Rockville, Maryland, put school safety back in the spotlight. A Gaithersburg teen is now facing charges after allegedly making threats on Instagram against the same school.


In Fairfax County, Virginia, concerns mounted after a student accused of making violent threats against a middle school was readmitted following a suspension.

James Densley, co-founder of the Violence Prevention Project Research Center, says while school shootings are trending downward nationally, threats of violence are increasing.

It seems to me Mr. expert is putting the chicken before the egg here.  If we adults didn't provide young people with such glowing, beautiful examples of every kind of perverted, inhuman, corrupt, disrespectful behavior imaginable, they would have nothing to draw on.  I'll bet kids in the middle of the Amazon rain forest don't exhibit the same behaviors.

And as far as hate, if it weren't for adults, mostly in the MSM and politicians, mostly democrats, who routinely throw around the race card to keep anger over race alive and well instead of allowing it to heal,  bias and hatred drawing top attention in the media, Trump Derangement Syndrome running rampant, ADS (America Derangement Syndrome) everywhere you look, division being favored over unity, demeaning Christianity, once again, where would kids find the anger they display?  As usual though, the "experts" only look at the surface and ignore the underlying causes - like treating skin cancer with bandaids -  they make a living by selling hatred, selling bandaids to Oncologists..
