Area school districts report national threat shared on TikTok
Some area school districts are warning parents and taking extra security precautions before classes on Friday after learning of a viral threat on social media, officials said.
School districts across the state have become aware of a TikTok post shared widely this week that refers to a threat to safety “for every school in the USA” on Friday, according to messages from school officials in Stoughton and Tyngsborough.
Officials in both communities said the post did not originate locally and that they do not believe it constitutes a credible threat. Still, school administrators have contacted local police and officials in both towns said there could be an increased police presence at schools on Friday.
