I am not going to send my daughter til this Threat has been cleared. Call it safe than sorry or just plain smart. I didn't take risks with my children's lives raising them, I expect the schools systems to not take liberties with my children as well. We need to be able to trust our schools again. Parkside did not take this serious enough til it gained attention. Between terrorism at its highest threat to us and mislead youths shooting up schools!! Y R our kids still being pushed into the firing range! And even bigger, if a bomb is going to detonate...they wouldn't call n warn us. I take this as a serious threat. You'd have to b real dumb and real hateful todo this. It is not a prank now. Something's up.
