I am a Junior at NWHS and I have spoken with many students over this ongoing problem. Very few parents are actually scared for their childrens' lives. Very few students are actually scared for their lives. Everyone knows it is a hoax. All of the students at Northwest want to beat up this/these kid(s). It is a waste of time and effort. It is costing the police and fire departments thousands to come and find nothing. They search every purse, bookbag, and inch of the school before they let us back inside. We have to stand outside for at least three hours every time there is a threat. Everyone is extremely irritated. Very few think it is funny. If I knew who it was, I would turn them in in a heartbeat and so would everyone else.
