KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Five juveniles have been charged in Jackson County Juvenile Court for making alleged threats at Kansas City area schools.

Two in Kansas City, Missouri, one in Lee’s Summit and one in Independence are all charged with making a terroristic threat in the second-degree.

Also, a juvenile in Blue Springs was charged with the status offense of behavior injurious to welfare.

The hearings for these cases are closed under Missouri law.

Last week, Kansas City Public Schools issued a statement in response to a wave of online threats hit by dozens of metro schools.

According to KCPS, “We take matters like these extremely seriously, and are working with local law enforcement and several other area school districts to identify the perpetrators.”

The threats included shootings, bombs and other direct threats to students and administration.

good thing for them they are not in Florida. that one sherif...can't remember hos name made an announcement last week when he arrested that 10 yr old boy for guns. he said well parents since u don't want to raise ur kids tight I guess.we will have to. if they commit a crime like this we will arrest them ..put their name and picture everywhere and I will pay any restitution for all the officers and swat that have to get called out to the school. he's playing no more games. enough is enough. he took that 10 yr old handcuffed and threw him in the cell. and the biggest thing I noticed was the 10 yr old boy wasn't even crying. when I was 10 if that happened to me I would of been histerical. these kids act numb to things that should scare them

They need to have consequences for their actions, something they're not getting at home.
