WTF is wrong with my town?

Last night, a bomb and gun threat was posted on a 12 year old girl's FB account (it was later revealed that someone else used her account to post it). It was vague enough but specific enough to close every school in my kids' district. That was a lovely phone call to get at 4:30am. 

And then, this afternoon, a note was found in a different school district's high school (same city) saying a bomb will go off at 2:50 (dismissal time for the high school). Both middle school and high school were dismissed early. 

People are posting all kinds of angry stuff along with misinformation, etc on two of the local news reporting sites. Some parents don't want to send their kids to school tomorrow because of the threat of shooting kids as they walked up to the school. 

All I can think is this crap is basically terrorism. The threats are made to scare people into closing the schools, giving them a free day off. If school is open tomorrow, I will send my kids because hell if I'm going to let some punk ass kid scare me and my kids away from their education. People who are planning on shooting up or blowing up a school rarely post a threat about it.
