Re: Threats from students
Tricky question and hard to answer without more information. It depends on whether a reasonable person would have taken the statement as a treat, which would have to be considered in conjunction with all other statements and any related action. I know that doesn't help answer your question very much, but its the best I can do without knowing more. Was the person arrested it? And if so, what was the charge? You can call or email.
