Family says Lee County sixth-grader traumatized after spending night in jail
Quote:
No charges will be filed against a 12-year-old who attends Three Oaks Middle School after he was accused of making a school threat.
Attorney Malcam Godwin says the student isn’t the one who sent out the message in the first place. In an email sent to a teacher, it said, “I’m taking a gun to school on Friday; I’m going to kill ever one.” A comparison between the student’s normal emails and the one sent to the teacher likely changed the case. His family’s attorney says he doesn’t use spaces when typing.
The student wasn’t at school the day the message was reported, so the school resource officer went to his home and interviewed him without his mother there.
Lee County Sheriff’s Office has delayed the case against the student. It admits it has identified another suspect.
WTF
