Iirc there were two different tweens (12 and 13?) arrested for online threats in Ohio this past week, too. What on earth is going on?

Maybe the recent case in Georgia has caused LE to take these threats more seriously? All I can hope is that they don't go back to taking school threats less seriously after the case has faded from the headlines.
