An 18-year-old female student from Huntington High School in Long Island was charged this week for threatening “mass harm” online, per the New York Post. After her troubling Snapchat post, Suffolk County officials were given a tip. They later arrived at the school on Tuesday morning. Her name has not been released, and she will be evaluated before being arraigned later.

The exact threat that was made is unclear; however, the Snapchat post was found to be “non-credible,” said the superintendent of Huntington’s school district, Beth McCoy. 

Despite the “non-credible” threat, the superintendent still released a statement regarding the situation, saying, “We understand that situations like this can affect students in various ways. If your child feels the need to talk to someone about this or any other concerns they may have, please reach out to the mental health staff in your child’s building for support.” 

“Such actions may have serious consequences and can impact our entire school community. Rest assured, the Huntington Union Free School District is committed to working closely with our School Resource Officers and local police to ensure a safe and secure environment for all students and staff,” the statement continued.
