Laurel High School Evacuated/Bus Accident In Berlin

There has been an alleged bomb threat at the Laurel High School. The kids have been evacuated for the past 45 minutes and we have yet to be able to confirm.

On that same note, there was an accident involving a vehicle and a School Bus in Berlin this morning. The accident happened on Rt 113 and Goody Road. The Bus was allegedly turning into a driveway, (only the driver in the Bus) in a construction zone and a vehicle collided with the Bus. Firefighters are currently cutting the person out of the vehicle.

More to come......

UPDATE! Now I'm told the Laurel Elementary School has evacuated for unsafe conditions. I called and confirmed with Laurel disctrict office. All schools in Laurel are being evacuated for unsafe conditions.

UPDATE #2: Seaford High School has also gone into Lock Down because of a shooting threat.

"All schools in Laurel are being evacuated for unsafe conditions."...Every school in town has been evacuated? What the heck do they do with all the kids?

...or maybe some student thinks he is exercising his 2nd amendment rights.

Thank you Joe. My daughter called me this morning and said they told the car riders to take their children home from Dunbar Elementary and that if they had kids in other laurel schools to go get them but they couldn't tell them why. Nobody was allowed in the building.

It's a bomb threat. The kids at North Laurel were not allowed off the buses this morning. They are turning everyone around and sending them home. I believe all the schools have been evacuated.

I called Delmar Elementary a few moments ago because a friend said they heard something on the news about Delmar Elementary. They are on Code Orange for precautionary measures.

This is the result of no kids left behind, catch em and turn them over to the parents and juvie system for correcting.Biggest waste of time/money.Start placing the blame on the parent [s].

I think someone got this bright idea from the texts that went out regarding the supposed threats of women being shot at Walmart. It's most likely a prank, but you just can't be too careful these days. Especially here, where our thug wannabes are probably stupid enough to try it.

I just hope they get to the bottom of this and stop all the disruption.

AS I HAVE ALWAYS SAID IT IS THE PARENTS FAULT THESE DAYS . THOSE OF THEM WHO CHOOSE TO NOT GIVE THEIR CHILDREN THE CARE, GUIDANCE,
AND DISIPLINE THAT THEY ALL NEED.
INSTEAD THEY LEAVE IT ALL UP TO THE POLICE TO KEEP DRAGING THEM OFF THE STREETS JUST SO THEY CAN DO IT AGAIN.IT IS PITIFUL BUT ALL SO TRUE.ALSO CAN SOMEONE PLESE TELL ME WHY IN GODS NAME CAN'T THERE JUST BE DETECTORS LIKE THE AIRPORTS HAVE IN EACH AND EVERY SCHOOL THAT KIDS HAVE TO GO THROUGH TO ENTER THE SCHOOL? THIS WOULD ALL END QUICK THEN NOW WOULDN'T IT. BUT INSTEAD OUR TAX DOLLERS ARE BEING WASTED IN EVERYTHING ELSE.SO IT LOOKS LIKE GOVERMENT DOEN'T CARE ABOUT OUR KIDS EITHER. DO YOURSELVES A FAVOR
FOLKS ,HUG YOUR CHILD TONIGHT OR MAYBE JUST TELL THEM THAT YOU LOVE THEM.MAYBE IF YOU DON'T TREAT THEM LIKE AN ANIMAL THEN THEY WOULDN'T ACT LIKE ONE. THE BLAME IS ON YOU MOM AND DAD.

To Miss or Mr. ALLCAPS,

I am a parent of 3, two of which are wonderful kids who chose not to go down this road. I am also a veteran of more than 16 trips to sicial services interviews after having to reprimand #3. I have been in handcuffs and held for a couple of hours over the same crap. For 4 years I tried, but found that Maryland law not only prevents parents from any form of strict discipline, and encourages kids to call 911 on their parents, but offers no constructive programs (Boot Camps) for such kids because a__holes like you think punishing bad behavior with anything more than a "timeout" is reprehensible. These kids are the fodder for recruitment for the Bloods and Crips. By the way, she moved out at 16, got pregnant, had a baby by the boyfriend who abuses her, and is sucking on every Government program you can pay taxes for. This last year has been a peaceful one for me, finally.

So, this is my fault?
