FLORENCE, Ky. - He said it was a prank gone wrong, but police are taking a 13-year-old student's alleged threats against the president very seriously. Authorities have charged the teen with terroristic threatening, a felony.
The Ockerman Middle School student is accused of making threats against the city of Florence and the president of the United States in e-mails he allegedly sent to city officials, police said.
Principal David Claggett told News 5 that the teen claimed the e-mails were just a joke.
"He said, 'Well, I was just messing around, just kidding around. I wasn't really serious about it,'" Claggett said.

"The day prayer was taken out of the public schools is the day the moral compass fell of its needle."
I dont understand how they think that letting children pray voluntarily is the government establishing religion.

Maybe the 'moody little boy' has a file. We won't get to see it but the people who decided to bring the charges would have.
yeah, Harris and Klebold were just moody little outcasts threatening to kill people, it's not like they ever put on trenchcoats and actually shot the kids they'd threatened to at Columbine...Hey wait a minute...
aaaaahhhh, see post 25 to the tenth power.
this kid is and always will be a butt plug.
By the time my son is in the seventh grade he will have a very thoroug understanding of the wworking of many types of weapons. In the seventh grade I could bench press 200 lbs., I was a sports star in my school. Seventh graders can do a lot of things.
Teach him a lesson.
Get some prespective on this people, Bush wasnt in any danger here its just a bunch of nonsense that really shouldnt even make the news much less warrent secret service attention. He wasnt targeting his classmates ala Columbine, he was talking about a guy he only knows from TV - Bush. Its fair to say the Bush is the best protected person on the planet, he doesnt have much to fear from somebody not even old enough to drive. What do you wanna do? Lock him up? Send him to Gitmo?
You can take "zero tolerance" too far and thats the real story here, a nation afraid of its kids.
