A look into the psychological impact of school threats

(CBS DETROIT) - A 14-year-old Clinton Township girl remains in a juvenile center in connection with a threatening email sent to L'Anse Creuse High School.

The teen is charged with making a threat of terrorism, according to the Macomb County Prosecutor's Office. She was arraigned and was denied bond and ordered to complete a mental health evaluation.

"I want to make it clear that we have a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to school threats. This senseless act not only disrupts the lives of students, staff, and the community, but it can have serious, lasting consequences. A single decision made in haste can affect the rest of your life, legally and personally," Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido said in a statement.

A pretrial hearing is scheduled for Oct. 3.
