It's been all over the news here for months, but maybe if you don't live in a part of the country where it's happening, it's not deemed newsworthy.Lois Winstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01866423986250423199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164137142811869136.post-65026669247070756722015-07-14T10:33:09.560-07:002015-07-14T10:33:09.560-07:00This is a great story idea, Lois.

And Rose, thanks for your best wishes! Swatting has been around for a few years but lately it's growing into a dangerous epidemic. This past spring several schools in NJ were swatted. It reminds me of the bomb threats that used to be phoned into schools back when I was a student. However, swatting could have far deadlier consequences. We never had police with semi-automatic weapons storming the building during those bomb threats.Lois Winstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01866423986250423199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164137142811869136.post-82415526299146600022015-07-13T05:34:49.972-07:002015-07-13T05:34:49.972-07:00That's fascinating.
