Addressing Threatening Social Media Content
Discovering social media content that contains potential threats to NCSD students, staff, or facilities--what to do?
- Gather Information - screenshots, identity of the original poster, time, date, and social media site
- Share Information - school principal, trusted adult, law enforcement, SafeOregon tipline, or NCSD supervisor
Please Refrain From:
- Alerting Media
- Sharing on Social Media
- Forwarding images to friends
These actions don't help NCSD and law enforcement investigate potential threats and respond appropriately to keep students safe. They often complicate matters by spreading misinformation, inducing panic, emboldening those making threats, and inspiring copycats. Thank you for your cooperation.
