Concerned parents met with police and Westmont Hilltop School District officials Monday, after a 12-year-old was charged with making death threats against students on social media.

Police said the threat was made on Wednesday, Dec. 13th in a direct Twitter message.

“It just simply stated: ‘I will kill all your students’,” said Upper Yoder Township Police Chief Donald Hess.

The threat was reported to authorities on Thursday, Dec. 14th, a snow day. School was canceled on Friday, Dec. 15th while investigators looked into the threat.

Parents who attended the meetings on Monday said they were happy with how the district handled the threat. However, one parent, Ryan Pastorek, said he was concerned because his wife works in the district and was inside the building the day the threat was reported.

“I’m in a unique situation. I have a wife that works in the buildings, as well. It wasn’t just kids, it was my whole family was involved,” Pastorek said. “I was a worried husband and father that day.”

Investigators found the suspect after filing a court order for Twitter to release his account information. Police said the 12-year-old is a former Westmont student who now attends cyber school.

He reportedly told police that he got the idea to make the threat after the school district canceled class on Monday, Dec. 11th after a separate threat was made on social media. Police said a different individual was responsible for that threat, which they’re calling not credible.

Police said the 12-year-old admitted to making the threat and they believe he did not plan to carry it out.

“He never intended to do harm and didn’t have a plan or the means of any weapons,” Chief Hess said.

The suspect is facing a felony charge for making terroristic threats. Police said there is no further danger to students and staff.

Pastorek said there is still room for improvement to make sure everyone in the district is safe.

“For the staff, I think we had some conversations in there and they know maybe next time they’ll handle it a little differently,” Pastorek said.

Westmont Hilltop students will have to make up the two days they missed because of the threats.

School officials said they discussed current safety protocols during the parent meetings, including active shooter training. They also said they will look into hiring a school resource officer.
