3 Teens Arrested by Florida Sheriff Who Warned Against Fake Threats Against Schools

Despite a TikTok warning from Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno, three teens, ages 13, 14 and 15, in his Florida jurisdiction were arrested this week for allegedly making threats of violence against their schools or specific groups of people at school. Authorities praised the bravery of the students who reported the alleged threats and encouraged parents to talk to their children about the severe nature of making any kind of threat, even as a joke.
