“‘Mom, I’m scared,’” she said of his text. “I can’t even tell you what it’s like to get a text message like that when your kid’s at school.”
She added, “He’s been a mess ever since. I just feel like there had to be multiple failures along the way for this to happen.”
Another mother said she had previously reported the student, who could face charges over the incident, to school counselors because the 13-year-old had threatened her daughter.

“If it were taken serious, by multiple complaints, that little girl would’ve been in school today.” She added that her daughter is “traumatized.”
School officials sent a note to parents on Wednesday night, saying that resources would be available to students who witnessed the incident and that the principal planned to meet with the students Thursday to discuss the incident.
