Illinois School Threats Attorney

Defend Your Rights with an Illinois School Threats Defense Lawyer

News stories of Illinois teens threatening students at their high schools are becoming more and more common, and authorities are taking a strong stance against such delinquent acts. When casual threats seen on the internet or social media sites are reported to a school, state and federal authorities may get involved, and criminal charges may be filed. In some cases, school threats can result in felony charges.

Sometimes, a student will say a casual threat was merely a dare, and they did not mean to cause harm. Bomb threats or threats to shoot students or teachers, even if they are casually made, are not taken lightly by the police.
