For real, I remember people calling in bomb threats a few times per school year back in the 2000s, and that was way before social media was around to give kids stupid ideas.

I'd be depressed too if I had to work with a pile of domestic terrorist trash everyday.

Yep. Can confirm that I was given a DUI solely because I had THC in my system from weeks prior. Passed the roadside olympics & breathalyzer with flying colors. Statey was deeeeetermined to get me with something. I have a medical card too so the whole thing makes no sense 🙃🙃

Yeah they’re possibly still clearing the school. As far as I can tell it’s the same call being broadcasted. Active shooter with 6 students shot.

Yeah, TBH with IDEA and ACA I'm wondering exactly when that minor/adult line lies. Mine's 19 and has the comprehensive autism waiver so it's basically filling out forms and returns and hoping that the people on his case aren't quitting/retiring anytime soon.

Bellefonte, Altoona and Holidaysburg had calls from what my wife who works in a school nearby said. They have basically all the surrounding area schools on alert with state police presence now.

They are still evacuating at Central Catholic in Oakland, as far as I can tell

In all honesty, I don't come in contact with a lot of other autism parents and my son has been in inpatient/group home/residential care for the past few years. There are LONG wait lists with lots of staff turnover and some of the options we were presented with were either around Philly or out of state. We're in Allegheny county though so there are also a lot of options here as well.

FWIW I did go to CBT therapy before and during COVID (remotely) and it helped - but not as much as keeping myself busy.

There were several schools targeted in Blair and Cambria Counties.

They have been confirmed. They've cleared the building and are letting kids back into the classroom.

Has anyone heard if Hopewell High School is just a threat as well or is there an Active shooter there? my office has people hearing reports of an active shooter situation there

Edit: Just updated it was a hoax like a lot of other schools around here in Western PA

We've been growing up in fear since Columbine and 9/11.

Same thing happening right now at at least 2 western PA high schools. Central Catholic (Pittsburgh), Hopewell High school (Hopewell Twnshp).

They have not been confirmed to be false in Pittsburgh. It's irresponsible to declare as such. I live less than a mile from the Pittsburgh call and I hear helicopters and sirens, and have received multiple EMS alerts.

For people downvoting: I was reporting what I knew to be true at the time of the comment I was replying to. At that time, nothing had been confirmed either way, and I was simply providing feedback as someone who's received multiple EMS alerts, as did my co-workers, and I'm literally still listening to helicopters in the air, even though yes, it's NOW since been confirmed to be a hoax. Good lord, people.

My oh my, it sounds like there’s a pretty high demand for services. Good luck, hang in there❤️

The need is desperate. Even more so for MH workers who take medical assistance, I know there a ton of extra hoops to jump through but so important. Best of luck

Hoping it’s not a bunch of fakes and one real mixed in

These poor kids. No one should grow up with this fear. 😢

Imagine getting your lol's by swatting schools. Absolutely disgusting.

Ok, hopefully you get in soon!

Ok thanks!
