"We have charged 20 youth in the last few days with crimes relating to school threats. Much has been written about these types of cases lately yet still these serious events continue to happen," said Prosecutor Worthy. "Since 2018 this office has attempted to reach and educate every parent with our "School Threat Letters". The letter is translated into five languages. I have personally

visited almost every jurisdiction in Wayne County. Quelling school threats is going to take the work of all of us. It is also going to take facing head on the access our children have for guns and their fascination with them."
