I think what she did wasn’t smart at all ,but the real problem is so many people including young kids are always on these damn social networks constantly texting there every though. after texting for so many years it becomes second nature to type or text what your thinking………weather it’s a good thought or a bad though. or a joke….also in philadelphia like a year ago parents found out that the school district was spying on the kids through the lap tops that are given to the students by the school….listen the school system is a mini prison system now thats why when she left the class the teacher checked the calculators…PLEASE EDUCATE YOURSELF AND YOUR KIDS ON TECHNOLOGY AND THE PRIVACY RIGHTS THAT YOU DO OR DON’T HAVE. HOPE THE COURTS SHOWS ON THIS YOUNG LADY MERCY

word, thank you matthew … This is my little cousin. Every1 this is a beautiful young lady who made a mistake and is being punish for it . AND @ JUSTME , yes 10 family member who did not want to asked ignorant question !!! we r a god fearing family…

I know her, ive done a tutoring program with her at a local youth center and weve always done community service with the Park Ave School to help with bully prevention. Shes a junior rocc member and Liberals Are Evil, are you kidding me where are you from that Long Island girls are stupid ? Id like to have a one on one talk with you because I bet every teen in the country wishes there school would be burned down, no one takes that seriously especially if they have a clean history. I WOULD INSTANTLY SPEAK ON HER BEHALF !

There were no explosives found. I think this child (and yes she is a child) should undergo a psych eval and maybe address her needs rather than punish her and ruin her future. I think a psych eval ndcommunity serviceis more fittingthan 7 years in jail.And wat a shamethis childs name is not kept confidental.

I think the girl made a mistake & it was meant to be a joke. . . If she doesn’t have a criminal record I think they should go easy on her .

What a stupid girl…but then again what does one expect from Long Island!

Looks like she didn’t want to take a test that day. Pre 2001 this would have been a big joke. Everyone walks outside for 15-20 minutes, it’s a false alarm, everyone goes back inside. Nice little break from class. Now . . . your arrested! Prosecuted and have a criminal record! When did life become so serious for a teenager.
