“Clown” threats now come in short pants say Peel cops

Peel police have given an 11-year-old boy a good talking to about threats to his classmates and others. A Mississauga public school received a threat of a clown-themed nature by way of social media. As a result of their investigation, the boy was identified as being responsible for the threats. A reasonable warning was issued: “Parents are reminded to be proactive and speak with children regarding the effects of pranks and to continue to contact police if a threat to a student’s safety is made.”
