I don’t think anyone cares what happened to the sick kid that made the threat. If they went through his house with a tank, it’s ok
Speak for yourself, because I care.
It was a pretty awful and frightening comment to make and the authorities did the correct thing by addressing it in a serious manner. That said, he's a kid, and a relatively young one at that. Kids have forever said and done incredibly stupid things, sometimes seemingly evil and malicious things. In today's world anything posted on social media is in the 'ether' permanently, can't angrily mutter a threat under one's own breath, or go off on several people in an irrational fit of rage only to have it pass in a few days, as I'm sure has happened countless times before the rise of social media (and probably still does occur today, but the person is fortunate enough to not share their sentiments on a social media platform).
I hope the issue is fully and completely addressed, and perhaps this guy does have some antisocial personality traits that will prevent him from functioning in society but by no means should that be assumed. I hope he gets a second chance and takes full advantage of that opportunity to learn, grow, and become a better person. The guy is 14, he's far from a lost cause.
