Problem Student on University Campus - Page 2

Absolutely, I would call everyone I could think of Starting with a Brief Courtesy Call to his Parents. I would tell them exactly what your plans are. No negotiating, no waiting for them to 'do something', or 'take care of this'.

Then I would call the city police, the State Bureau of Investigation, and The FBI. I would zip right on past the Campus Cops, because in my mind they have already dropped the ball, but do let the other authorities know that they have been notified.

I send you All Best Wishes for the Safety of your DS.

@beach-mom , is it possible to move your DS temporarily on campus for the short time that is left in the school year? That would be my first move. If the offender is banned from the school that may give your son a better feeling of more security.

Then I would be getting into it with school officials and police. Also consider contact political representatives in the area. I would complain loud and long and do so verbally and in writing. Keep the pressure on til school is over. Good luck. It is hard to have such concerns playing on your mind.

Also, if you feel it is a legitimate concern, investigate your DS finishing academic requirements remotely from your home or somewhere else you deem to be a safe location.

Do what makes you comfortable. I think it is so vaguely worded, he is being cagey. He might not have any violent acts in mind, just an attempt to scare people

I would contact the university president first.

Depending on what he said , the FBI might already be involved. It is a crime to make threats on social media..I am not sure if what he did is in the same category, but he needs to be watched

Even if he is banned it doesn't mean he won't enter the campus.

It might be one of those grey areas where the police have their hands tied, because he didn't actually threaten violence

Good luck

Call the police! A lot of shooters give these kind of clues ahead of time.

All schools now have procedures for reporting and handling these situations. Sounds like everyone involved has been reporting and this guy is likely being watched and investigated.

I would call the local FBI office asap. He sounds very dangerous. Better safe than sorry.

If I were in your shoes, I would contact the university President, local news outlets, state and congressional representatives, the FBI and even higher up.

This is a very scary situation.

I’m confused

You just said the police and university are very aware of the situation. And you’re asking if you should call the police and the university to notify them of the situation?
