I gave ALOT of thought into this and I feel like I need to clear up some rumors I’ve been hearing about my son... On March 22nd my son was accused of saying he was going to “shoot up the school”...Now I will tell you what REALLY happened. My son was in class and the teacher gave the students a break to talk amongst themselves, so my son was talking to a “friend” about current world events and he was saying how stupid kids are these days, like the tide pod challenge and stupid things like that, then proceeded to say that kids are stupid when they get on YouTube and make a statement “if I get 5 more likes I can go shoot up a public school”. That is when it was all over for him because a student who was NOT involved in the conversation came to their own conclusion that my son said HE was going to shoot up the school. It has been a very trying time for my family and I didn’t want to post this but I feel like this is the only way I can get the TRUTH out there

I’ve known this family for many years and I can tell you if he had truly said this his parents would be the first to turn him in and and his grandparents would be the second. This Superintendent is way out of line and apparently trying to make a name for himself but not a good one!!

It's sad how a simple conversation can have things twisted so badly that an innocent teen now has to suffer. I understand that threats need to be taken seriously, but this was not a threat! It was an eavesdropper coming into a conversation at the wrong moment.

Our school does take things seriously in this manner but the way they go about it is wrong. If I wasn’t worried about the negative repercussions on my academics and athletics, I would be right there to support Jon in every way possible through this. I know exactly how it is to be blamed and unfairly punished for something this serious.

This is not ok, you are ruining a great kid’s future for a hearsay “crime” by not ruling or investigating fairly. These consequences are unjust. It’s just not acceptable.

I’ve known Jonathon since he was born. He is very caring and compassionate- and would not hurt anyone. I understand that these matters of school violence cannot be taken lightly but please focus your time and attention on someone who really needs it. Jonathon is not a threat and should be allowed to return to school.

School needs to pay attention to how they handle these situations we have a child that has never had any disciplinary actions should not be punished for a misunderstanding the facility does not feel threatened by this student please reconsider allowing him to return to school
