FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) – After a recent string of safety threats made towards area schools, law enforcement is encouraging parents to have candid conversations with their kids. Just this week alone, Huntington Community School District received two safety threats, a gun was brought into Fort Wayne Community Schools Amp Lab, a kid snuck into Snider High School to start a fight and Police in Lagrange County investigated a safety threat aimed at one of their local high schools. Many of those incidents originated on social media. These digital platforms make it easier now more than ever to spread fear and misinformation. Most of the above safety threats were proven to be illegitimate but law enforcement officials say just because a kid may not know the ramifications of making such threats online, doesn't mean there couldn't be serious consequences to face. The Lagrange prosecutor's office says that there is no way of proving whether a threat on social media is real or not, so they have to treat everyone they get with a certain level of significance and urgency. "We have that system in place so that all the aspects of law enforcement and school administration are working together to assess each threat as it comes in, and to make sure that we act accordingly and that we need to eliminate all the safety concerns that are present with that," said Travis Glick, Lagrange County Prosecutor. Officials encourage parents to talk with their kids about the consequences of making threats online and spreading false information. Anthony Juliano, social media expert and Vice President of the Asher Agency who details what exactly parents should be looking for on their kid's social media pages. "...this situation provides an opportunity for parents to start a dialog about social media use, about some of the consequences that their peers and they may face if they do something like this, and also to talk about social media use and to encourage them to use these tools in a responsible way," said Juliano. He details some things parents could be doing to aid in these situations. "Most of the time when kids are irresponsible with social media, it's because their parents are absent so parents being present or anyone who has influence with kids start a dialog, talk to them about it, make sure they know the consequences and be a resource to them if they have questions." Juliano encourages parents to monitor their children's social media often and even says it would be helpful to know the passwords to their accounts.
