With social media easily accessed and a part of everyday life, students need to be made aware that there are no 'take-backs' once they hit SEND. The fact that in their mind a threatening post was 'just a joke' or 'I really didn't mean it, it wasn't supposed to get out of hand' will not protect them in today's world. False threats today lead to real life consequences of felony charges that could impact your future for a lifetime.
