In the US, a 15 year old student of the Lisle High School was arrested for posting inappropriate, and often times, threatening content on his Facebook page. In one statement, he says, “Lisle Senior High School needs to be the target of domestic terrorism.” In another he says, “almost killed the most random person today.”

This youth was charged with a Class B and C misdemeanor, but was released with a strict warning and an ankle bracelet. His movements are now being constantly monitored. If his parents had monitored his online activity, this story may not have come so far.

In the case of the second youth, the story did go a bit too far. A student of the Templeton Secondary School in Vancouver, this youth had posted a list of 117 people, who he intended to kill, along with the order in which he wanted to kill them.

He was reported to the local police by 6 students of the school. Apparently, many students knew about ‘the list’ and the teen spoke freely about it. “We’d been talking about the list and he said, on it, ‘You’re 25,’ and he would go up to someone and say, ‘You’re so and so,’” said Mr. Brown, one of the teen’s fellow students. “I asked him about it and he said, ‘This was the number I have. You’re on my list.’ Basically, that ‘I am going to kill you‘ and the order I’m going to kill you in.”

The police found a number of firearms and unauthorized weapons in the teens house, and the teen is now in police custody, charged with multiple charges.
