Two teenagers arrested for threatening to kill students at Tokyo school
TOKYO —
Police on Tuesday arrested two teenagers for threatening a junior high school in Hino City, by phoning in a threat saying they would kill students. The two male junior high school students, aged 14 and 15, allegedly called the school on a cell phone around 8:20 a.m. on Sept 5 and threatened to kill students from a school in the city, but didn’t specifiy which school. As a precaution, 25 primary and junior high schools were closed after the call, according to school officials.
The two were quoted by police as saying, “We thought we could go home earlier if we threatened the school because another school in Kunitachi City had sent its students home earlier for the same reason the day before.”

they should have used a public phone. if there are no cameras there's no tracing that!

Other kids should thank these two for getting them out of school early. The parents, on the other hand, should go to their houses and kick the unko out of them for their kids lost classroom time and perhaps having to come home early from work.

I'm sorry, but at this point in time these incidents are just laughable. The perpetrators of these crimes are marginally punished, which exhibits to any other prospective threat maker that there is almost nothing to lose if caught. What's equally entertaining is that these junior morons called it in from their own traceable cellphone.

Why close the schools? Just put security (and not the old 90 years olds we see) out front. A little exagerrated I think.

Give these little twits a couple of weeks detention in a western Sydney boys home and they'll never do anything as stupid as this again (if they survive, of course).

I think a little while behind the woodshed with these kids would teach them a lesson. This is Japan however, so probably just a 「携帯電話のマナーを守りましょう」lecture and nothing more.
That'll teach 'em

The school officals did the right thing. I do not want to see another knife attack on children.

These kids will definitely go to a special reform school in Tokyo.

Public canings TV would limit the amount of enthusiasm to commit crimes. Sorry, I mentioned this on another post, but it would hit the spot.
