TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — A Florida sheriff fed up with a spate of false school shooting threats is taking a new tactic to try get through to students and their parents: he's posting the mugshot of any offender on social media.

Law enforcement officials in Florida and across the country have seen a wave of school shooting hoaxes recently, including in the wake of the deadly attack at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, that killed two students and two teachers.

Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood on Florida's Atlantic Coast said he's tired of the hoaxes targeting students, disrupting schools and sapping law enforcement resources. In social media posts Monday, Chitwood warned parents that if their kids are arrested for making these threats, he'll make sure the public knows.

“Since parents, you don’t want to raise your kids, I’m going to start raising them," Chitwood said. "Every time we make an arrest, your kid’s photo is going to be put out there. And if I can do it, I’m going to perp walk your kid so that everybody can see what your kid’s up to.”

Chitwood made the announcement in a video highlighting the arrest of an 11-year-boy who was taken into custody for allegedly threatening to carry out a school shooting at Creekside or Silver Sands Middle School in Volusia County. Chitwood posted the boy's full name and mugshot to his Facebook page.

In the video, which had more than 270,000 views on Facebook as of Monday afternoon, the camera pans across a conference table covered in airsoft guns, pistols, fake ammunition, knives and swords that law enforcement officers claim the boy was “showing off" to other students.

Later, the video cuts to officers letting the boy out of a squad car and leading him handcuffed into a secure facility, dressed in a blue flannel button-down shirt, black sweatpants and slip-on sandals. The boy's face is fully visible at multiples points in the video.

“Right this way, young man,” an officer tells the boy, his hands shackled behind his back.

The boy is led into an empty cell, with metal cuffs around his wrists and ankles, before an officer closes the door and locks him inside.

“Do you have any questions?” the officer asks as he bolts the door.

“No sir,” the boy replies.

The video prompted a stream of reactions on social media, with many residents praising Chitwood, calling on him to publicly identify the parents as well — or press charges against them.

Others questioned the sheriff’s decision, saying the 11-year-old is just a child, and that the weight of the responsibility should fall on his parents.

Under Florida law, juvenile court records are generally exempt from public release — but not if the child is charged with a felony, as in this case.

Law enforcement officials across Florida have been tracking a stream of threats in the weeks since the 2024-2025 school year began. In Broward County, home to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, officials said last week they had already arrested nine students, ages 11 to 15, for making threats since August.

"For my parents, to the kids who are getting ready for school, I'm going to say this again," Broward Sheriff Gregory Tony said at a press conference, “nothing about this is a laughing or joking matter.”

“Parents, students, it's not a game,” he added.

Join me in the forest

I decided to wear mori kei for my latest meetup with my local lolita fashion community. I'm kind of the rogue mori girl within our squad. Though I often mix and match both styles too!

I had major period cramps and back pain the day prior and wanted something loose and comfortable to wear to the meetup. Mori is the style for that!

The temperature also climbed up from 21°C in the morning to 28°C - which meant I did minimal layers to be prepared for that. I wore a pale yellow blouse with a flower embroidery on it, my signature mori girl dress with it's layers and pointy circle skirts and a light green gilet with a beautiful grape print on it. The dress and gilet are handmade!

I had so much fun with my friends and delicious food at the restaurant. We usually leave in "shifts" from the meetup, because some of us want to stay longer and some leave earlier. I walked to the tram with two of my lovely friend and there's an open free bookshelf for trading books. I had to take a picture with this book as it's called "Die Leute aus dem Walde" which translates to "the people of the forest" and matches perfectly with mori kei!!!

Image 1: A collage of a picture showing Amy (me) and some trees, divided by a white border. The picture to the left showing me: pictured is Amy, a young, fat, white woman with glasses and long brown hair worn in two braids. She's wearing a lace headband and origami-paper-leaves as earrings. Her necklace features a big brown moth. A mint-green gilet vest with a grape print and ornamental decorations is worn over a cream lacey dress with pointy circle skirts, as well as a pale yellow cropped blouse worn under said dress with wide flowey sleeves. Lightly tan sandals with straps and lace cutouts finish the outfits off.

The picture is taking among shrubbery and bushes, evoking the entrance to the woods you surely can find mori people in! In the picture Amy (me) is facing the viewer and enticingly beckoning with her hand, inviting you to join in her endeavors!

Image 2: A close-up picture of Amy (me), smiling at the camera. Amy is a a young, fat, white woman with glasses and long brown hair worn in two braids. Her gilet vest is crumpled in this close-up picture, but that doesn't matter as the main focus is the book she's posing with: It shows a illustrated mountain-and-forest landscape and bears the German title "Die Leute aus dem Walde" (which translates to "the people of the forest"), which of course perfectly fits Mori Kei.

Image 3: Is a repeat of image 1. Due to the way tumblr displays pictures it's a bit zoomed in. I added this picture because it makes the layout look nicer and more interesting in my opinion. [/image description]

I agree but I think he might lose his job for doing this. Though it is needed around the country, probably around the world.
