An 11-year-old boy was arrested Monday and accused of making a social media threat against local schools, police said.
Clark County School District police wrote in a statement Monday evening that the child was booked in the Juvenile Detention Center on charges of making terroristic threats after a social media threat last week that affected schools across the district.
“We want to remind families to talk to their children about the serious consequences of making threats to a school,” police wrote. “It is not a joke.”
The boy’s name was not released.
