Superintendent and Sheriff ask Parents for Help on Reporting of Social Media Threats
The Superintendent and Sheriff ask parents to monitor your child’s social media accounts closely, help control the spread of false threats and misinformation, and ensure effective reporting occurs. Having your child follow the See Something, Say Something protocols by reporting potential threats directly to the school or law enforcement will maximize the effective use of both school and law enforcement resources and ultimately create a safer environment for all students.
Superintendente y Sheriff piden ayuda a los padres para informar sobre amenazas en redes sociales
El Superintendente y el Sheriff piden a los padres que supervisen de cerca las cuentas de redes sociales de sus hijos, ayuden a controlar la difusión de amenazas falsas y desinformación, y se aseguren que se realicen los informes efectivos. Hacer que su hijo siga los protocolos de “Ves Algo, Di Algo” reportando amenazas potenciales directamente a la escuela o a las autoridades policiales maximizará el uso efectivo de los recursos escolares y de las autoridades policiales, y, en última instancia, creará un entorno más seguro para todos los estudiantes.
