I am kind of blowing a gasket listening to Moose. The parents are not the "proper" people to inform of threats? I understand maybe he's trying to avoid setting the sniper off by repeating the threat in the media...yet at the same time it's bothering me they would inform the districts and trust them to make decisions, and feel the parents are not on a "need to know" basis. If I were a parent on the East Coast I would be bothered not to have the facts on which to base my decisions.

I'm trying to think of a time in which the entire public was put on alert like that... IMHO I can think of 9/11/02. I know when a predator/attempted abduction occurs...flyers are sent home with parents. Amber alerts....

But this...don't know what the benefit is to NOT confirm the threat to parents.

Provided there hasn't been threats tied specifically to telling them or evacuating. Something else is on the playing field. Something potentially even nastier than what we've been playing with to date.

I've got a bad feeling about this...
