Teenager responsible for several social media threats targeting Maryland schools
BALTIMORE - Police say a 17-year-old girl is responsible for social media threats targeting multiple schools in Maryland.
The teen on Tuesday posted two threats to injure students at Aberdeen High School in Harford County and Eastern Technical High School in Baltimore County.
Officers searched the inside and outside of Eastern Technical School and didn't find anything.
Detectives in Baltimore County then found additional posts in which the same 17-year-old boasted about previous school threats she made and got away with.
She made threats to these schools:
- Kenwood High School
- Eastern Technical High School
- Chesapeake High School
- Stemmers Run Middle School
- Middle River Middle School
- Hawthorne Elementary
- Damascus High School (Montgomery County)
- Aberdeen High School (Harford County)
"It should be noted the above online threats caused a great deal of disruption for parents, students, and school staff members," police said.
Detention was requested, but the Department of Juvenile Services released the 17-year-old to her parent, according to police.
