Fear for children: Threat from a 13-year-old shocks Tyrolean parents!

A worrying incident at a new middle school in Tyrol is currently shocking parents and students. A 13-year-old student announced a shooting attack in a Snapchat video that went viral, shocking his classmates. “I will kill you all!” was the threat that caused many concerned parents to question the school. Despite the serious threat, the police finally took the case lightly. According to the investigation, the student was not suspended because he declared his comments as “fun.” krone.at reported.

The police investigation did not lead to any concrete evidence of violence in the student's apartment or on his cell phone, but fear among parents and students remains great. Police presence during classes increased unease among students, and many go to school with an uneasy feeling. An affected father was critical: "Is that really enough? The school hasn't excluded him, and we have enough examples from the past that show how quickly such situations can escalate." kosmo.at.

Fear and uncertainty

Meanwhile, the school management is trying to handle the situation internally. The student explained himself to the class and emphasized that it was just a joke. However, the discomfort remained. Many parents are now seeking psychological support, and their children go to school “with tears in their eyes,” reports krone.at. It is a situation that puts a lot of stress on both students and parents. The Education Directorate has intervened to work through the incident with school psychologists, as everyone involved urgently needs support.

Police plan to forward a report to the prosecutor's office. These serious steps are intended to underline the seriousness of the threat. While the school emphasizes that there is no immediate danger, the challenge remains of regaining parents' trust and creating a safe learning environment for students.
