If you make lists of people to kill or rape, yes, that should be actionable and have consequences. Counseling, maybe first time, but continues, something more serious. If nothing else, how about a restraining order? At least that gets it on legal record, then deny guns.

Schools, especially are in a tough spot. Staff in most states are mandated reporters. If abuse or neglect is suspected, they are required to report it. But there are also strict confidentiality rules in effect as well. If Timmy has your daughter’s name on his rape list, I legally can’t tell you. If you suspect and ask me, I can’t tell you. We can’t be violating Timmy’s right to privacy. And no, we can’t be looking at Timmy’s phone either. Timmy has rights.
We had a elementary kid who was caught fondling a kindergartener in a bathroom. He was suspended for a brief time, sent to counseling and returned to school. None of the staff were informed and those who knew of it were ordered to say nothing of it. A few years later the same kid, now in jr high did it again. Had we known we’d have never let him be in the elementary building unsupervised—hell, we’d’ve watched like a hawk. But we weren’t told. After the second incident he was expelled—but there shouldn’t have been a second time.
