Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood says his agency has spent nearly $21,000 investigating bogus school threats posted on social media in recent days. He's furious with the increase in hoax threats and vows to publicly shame parents who knew about their children’s actions.
Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood said his agency has spent nearly $21,000 in recent days investigating bogus school threats posted on social media .And he's fed up."This is absolutely out of control, and it ends now," he said during a press conference on Friday, alongside officials with Volusia County Public Schools.In less than 24 hours, some 54 threats were reported to Fortify Florida , an app where people can submit suspicious activity to law enforcement agencies.
"Parents, you don't want to raise your kids, I'm going to start raising them. Every time we make an arrest, your kid's photo is going to be put out there. And if I could do it, I'm going to perp walk your kid so that everybody can see what your kid's up to," said Sheriff Chitwood."The second point of this is, if I can in anyway find out that a parent knew what was going on and wasn't doing anything, your is getting perp-walked with them," he said.
