Even in the case of threatening speech, I’m not sure the school is a role. That should be left up to local law enforcement.

- djrogers 5y agoYou want armed law enforcement officers to show up to a 14 year old's house because she posts "b*tch" on every IM from her nemesis? (and yes - that would be considered cyberbullying in many schools) That's a really bad idea.

I don't think that counts as "threatening speech" in terms that the parent comment was attempting to describe it. This feels more like cyberbullying, which I agree on with you, cops shouldn't be dealing with this kind of stuff. In this context, I think "threatening speech" refers more to stuff like an actual threat of imminent danger to people, like a bomb threat or other things of similar nature.
- bart_spoon 5y agoCyberbulling and threatening is not the same thing. And I think its clear from the OP, that "threatening" speech would be voicing intent to do violence. Yes, law enforcement should be the ones to handle those situations.
