What should a person do if they see a potential school threat on social media?

If someone sees a potential school threat on social media, they should take it seriously and immediately report it to the authorities. This can include contacting the local police department, school administration, or the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3). Providing as much information as possible, such as the post, user account, and any other relevant details, can help the authorities assess the situation and take appropriate action to ensure the safety of the school and its students.

How can the public report a potential school threat in NC?

In North Carolina, the public can report a potential school threat in several ways:

  1. Contact local law enforcement: Call 911 or your local police department to report a potential school threat.
  2. Report it to the school: If you have information about a potential school threat, you can contact the school directly and let them know. The school will likely have protocols in place to respond to these types of reports.
  3. Use the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation’s tip line: North Carolina has a tip line specifically for reporting school safety threats, which can be reached at 1-866-SAFENCS (1-866-723-3627).

It’s important to keep in mind that providing accurate and specific information, such as the name of the person making the threat, their social media account, and the nature of the threat, can greatly assist the authorities in their investigation and response.
