Submitting false or intentionally misleading tips in FortifyFL or other reporting platforms is not only reckless, but it also impedes resources that are needed for actual emergencies and carries serious legal consequences. Students arrested for recent school threats have been charged with second-degree felonies in violation of section (s.) 836.10, Florida Statutes (F.S.).

There are consequences for making a threat or false report via FortifyFL involving school or school personnel's property, school transportation, or a school-sponsored activity. Understand that all threats will be taken seriously and will result in severe consequences up to and including arrest, restitution, and expulsion. Parents, please discuss this issue with your children. False threats, even if intended as a joke, can result in life-altering consequences.
