PEMBROKE PINES, Fla. (AP) - Police say a 12-year-old girl who posted threatening messages on Snapchat has been charged.
Citing police, news outlets report the Pembroke Pines Charter Central student’s Snapchat posts stated “if I get this one more time I will shoot someone,” and “no one go to school tmrrw.”
A Pembroke Pines police statement says a person anonymously contacted the department Monday and advised of threatening posts. The child was taken into custody and her mother was notified. According to police, the child says she doesn’t have access to firearms and that she wrote the posts because she was bullied.
The girl was charged with a second-degree felony of making a false report concerning the use of a firearm in a violent manner.
Police did not identify the girl.
