Naperville, IL – Authorities in Naperville and Aurora are urging parents to address the growing issue of school threats. Police from both cities, along with local school district leaders and state attorneys, have issued a public letter stressing the importance of reporting these threats instead of sharing them online.
According to the letter, schools in the region, including Naperville District 203 and Indian Prairie District 204, have faced numerous threats in recent weeks. These incidents disrupt learning and create anxiety among students and staff. Police ask parents to talk with their children about the serious impact of such threats.
The letter emphasizes the need for an open dialogue between parents and children about the consequences of threatening violence. Authorities warn that threats could lead to legal action, including expulsion or prosecution.
Parents are encouraged to report any potential threats to school administrators or law enforcement immediately. Reposting or sharing threats on social media only spreads fear and confusion. The goal is to ensure safe learning environments for all students.
