No he is saying all parents are bad.. there are some good parents out there raising their kids. It is adults. All over schools it is not just all parents you can't blame all parents.. society itself is causing kids stress and confusion
Lazy parents, livin' on welfare, sleeping til' 4:00 in the afternoon! Probably overweight, funky smellin', could not care less about the kid. When one of my brothers, rather young, got picked up and jailed by the police, my dad was told "He'll go down to "county" (Cook County Jail) in the morning, my dad said "Keep 'im!" None of his kids turned out anything like these brats!
Except he not right. I get why all of you feel the way you do. Your responding based on your emotions the same as the sheriff. However there laws in this country and he can not exceed his authority which he is doing. 18 U.S. Code § 5038 prohibits the public release of a juvenile's name or picture in connection with a juvenile delinquency proceeding unless the juvenile is prosecuted as an adult. The juvenile justice system was established to divert youthful offenders from criminal court punishments and to protect their identities so they can be rehabilitated The sheriff has the right to investigate all threats and when he has sufficient evidence he can make an arrest. However its not up to him how some one will be charged and the extent of those charges. In this case because it's a minor he does not have the authority to decided whether the child should be charged as an adult or not. By parading the child around before the DA can decided he violating his authority and violating the rights of the minor. What if the child is innocent or the DA decides not to charge the child as an adult and that the minor can be rehabilitated. By parading the child around he destroyed any chance of that child ever going through life with out that hanging over his or her head. He exceed his authority. You say the Parents should be held accountable. This is very dangerous path. Just because a child commits a crime or makes threats does not mean the parents have a clue what is going on. The mother of one of the columbine shooters had no idea what her child was going through or planning she was completely blindsided by his actions. There was nothing she could have done to prevent it. There is difference between a parent who raising a child and is trying to teach them the best they can and unaware of what is going on in their kids like (especially a teenage.). How many parents can say they know ever single thing going on in their teenager life. How many parents see their kids take their own life and were complete blindside by it and found that their child was being bullied and harassed and they were completely unaware of it. It's one thing when you have parents who are reckless and go out and by their child a fire arm knowing they have behavior problems and make the fire arm easy to access. Vs a parent who trying to raise their child the right way and are completely oblivious to what is going on in their child's life. Do you think parents should be held accountable for something they have no idea is going. I'm sorry but the sheriff is dead wrong on this on so many levels and it's going to back fire on him. Just wait and see. because when parents get attorney and sue the city for violating their child's rights and the city looses it will cause that sheriff his badge.

That's the actual goal of the gunner crowd. They want schools to look like jails so kids won't want to learn anything. That way they'll grow up short-sighted and easy to manipulate. This is the whole reason Reagan convinced America to hate its teachers.
So, security theater, then? Because the TSA is absolutely useless. Everything is up to the discretion of the individual agent, and many of them are on a power trip.

Parents should be charged for anyone under 12. Your kid is depressed, unhinged, and angry and you continue to buy him an arsenal of knifes, swords, and BB guns. No 11 year old has any money, all these weapons are enabled by the parents. I mean come the F on!?. Who the F buys their kid 15+ medieval broad swords!, whats a kid at 11 need with all those swords?!.
Under 16; 18 if they don't have a job and they're getting their money from you. After 18, they're on their own unless they're still in hs and living with you. If you say under 12, these "parents" will consider their jobs done at 13 smh
Parents have lost touch with their kids, dumping them on their phones while they turn to theirs. It's out of control. I left public education because I was fed up with both the kids and parents-sometimes the parents are just as bad, if not worse. I experienced a full lockdown where SWAT went room to room with guns drawn, searching for those not involved. That's no joke in a school where you teach. So, Chitwood, thank you for finally stepping up. It's about time someone held people accountable. Another thing: cell phone providers offer parents the option to set up parental controls on their kids' phones, but the real issue is there's no accountability. There’s no discipline at home, so kids think they can do whatever they want-and worse, they leave a trail that leads right back to them. Parents need to step up and do their jobs. When I got a phone, it was for emergencies. Now, every kid has one, and it's ruining them, turning them into reckless rugrats roaming around without any consequences.
There used to be a time where parents and teachers worked hand in hand in making sure the kids turns out successful. Used to be if you got it bad at school “just wait until you get home.” Tough love and making sure your kids are on the straight and narrow.
@@MatthewHutchinson-iz7ku no one is thinking of ALL the children. That man is a nasty pig and a traitor. You need to grow up and acknowledge it is not his job to publicly shame. We haven't gone full dystopia yet but the FLA is close.

I believe Florida may just have some of the best sheriffs in the country. God bless our sheriffs and their departments who are upholding their oaths to protect and serve the people in their respective county.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Parents are supposed to guide and teach their kids. Not to be their friend. This is what happens when you don't have the spine to actually discipline your kid.
There has always been kids and parents that have not been held accountable and the world has supported them in this. We’ll see if they are fair in doing this because so often they do not treat everyone the same.
I'm from Colorado. I've seen a little chaos from uncontrollable children and from teenagers. I absolutely agree with the sheriff with his words. It has to be done now by the parents.

I know. The best we have is Soyboy Mena. Someone like Chitwood would be great in Orange; he is liked by both conservative and even some progressive organizations.
It is not just parents. It is society that does NOT allow any type of consequences for children. This attitude of coddling children and "gentle parenting" has got to stop. Why do you think kids keep doing this? Because there are NEVER any consequences.
*Removing privelages* like TV, video games, going somewhere, etc actually gives them the message *"might thinks right".* Is that the kind of example you want to set for your kids and their kids and their kids' kids?
I agree completely. Consequences are absent at home, so it takes law enforcement to get involved. I see nothing negative about this. The alternative is continuing letting kids get away with actual murder.
That’s true bro…I had great parents but I was still a jerk, not like this kid, but still a problem child until I went in the Navy after graduation…definitely made me a better person 🙂
I also blame the government for this problem too. Why? Because the government gave these kids power to call CPS against the good parents that disciplined their children. They labeled everything as abuse. And this gentle parent crap. Gentle parenting don't work for every kid.
This is absolutely false. I’m a former Texas police officer of two decades and now prosecutor for our DA’s office and the laws of parental child discipline have not been revoked. Parents are still more than legally able to slap their kids as much as physically needed as long as it is still within the scope of discipline. Abuse is when abrupt physical punishment comes due to no wrong committed by the child, or being his so hard significant bruising occurs where hospital admittance is needed. Just had a woman secretly record her husband slapping their son so hard and so many times he pissed his pants. He told the father to go “fck himself” and was slapped 37 times with a belt by the father. Nothing within the scope of this is child abuse nor is it anywhere close to meeting the elements of any child laws we have here or even assault. After CPS refused to do anything about it (they can’t because this is not abuse) she tried to come directly to my office as a prosecutor as if I’m going to do something. I finally was just tired of hearing her ranting about the situation and told her to leave or else I would have her arrested for trespassing. Parents these days are actually dumb enough to think that CPS will do anything the kids want. And when these parents who don’t do their jobs have their kids get older they come visit me and I send them straight to prison.
Yea I agree with yelling as it can scare the kid straight but just not on sp%nking as it feels innaproppriate to do on a child and on anybody, I dont get why parents get free pass to Literally Sp%nk their kids even tho IT IS LITERALLY INNAPROPRIATE, also I agree with sheriff chitwood that school shooting threats are getting outta hand in USA, im not from USA and if i will have kids and they misbehave my handcuffs are going to be put on them and idc if my kids ever call CPS, Kids out there need discipline, And If I get arrested for trying to discipline my kids in a different way I'll prob make a speech on why handcuffing is a good punishment on a kid same with yelling
This is America's Sheriff. This is the man all community law enforcement should follow. I hope he runs for congress. I'll move to his state and district just to vote and support him . Well done
Now this is what a real sheriff looks like! Kids these days are lacking manners and discipline, causing trouble everywhere, and parents? They could care less.
Parents can and should put apps on their kid's phones where information about every text, email and call made is sent to the parent's email. If a parent provides a cell phone to their child, they should be help responsible for what that child is doing with that phone. This could protect children from predators
I agree to some degree. If you raised your child right, and you know them then I don’t think they should be monitored 24/7, and you should be able to trust them. Kids deserve their own privacy until they lose it.
They just need to create child phones. A line to 911, and 5 contacts. They don't need the internet or apps. These young brats have instagrams posting this crap.
@@ftumusiclover1239 they’re own social media privacy can start when they are mature enough, around 13 or 14. Know what/who your kids are in contact with. Be A Parent, not a friend. Our times have changed for the worse in this country. Prevent problems before they start.
ABOUT TIME. Thank you sheriff. We need this to make national news. This ish is getting out of hand. HOLD THESE KIDS AND PARENTS ACCOUNTABLE. 1000% AGREED
I have a Junior in DCPS and I worry every single day bc of these stupid kids and parents. Thank you for doing an incredible job and most importantly THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!!
People are blaming parents now, but they made it illegal for us to discipline our kids. Remember they called it child abuse. Remember they said children have rights to make their own decisions.
At least someone is taking it serious. It obvious many parents haven’t and look at what has happened. Keeping the kids safe and teachers is the most important issue.
Great job to that Sheriff.. Now days there is NO JUST THING AS A JOKE OR HOAX WHEN IT COMES TO THREATS, PERIOD... We need to also hold the parents ACCOUNTABLE...
love this. they need to be held accountable. kids shouldnt have to worry about having bulletproof backpacks/binders. this country is disgusting, and we need change immediately.
This is what happens when a generation of kids are exposed to the internet. More often than not, they meet edgy teenagers or adults online who actually think these events are funny, and spread their sense of humor to the little ones. For my generation, Gen Z, it was 9/11 jokes and LiveLeak videos. I can only imagine what or who is influencing Gen Alpha to do this. Parents, stop letting random people from the internet raise your kids. Do it yourself. It's better for everyone that way, unless you lack any redeeming qualities that make a good parent. At that point, the kids are better off with someone else.
It makes me lose faith in humanity watching other Gen Z's have kids and stick them on an iPad. As if we don't know better than any generation before us how damaging the internet can be to a person's developing psyche. I had eating disorders through middle school not because of tv or magazines but because of what I exposed myself to online. If I were any younger I probably would have blamed my gender for all my problems instead of my weight and tried to "fix" that instead. The same problems are still around a decade later but under a different name. It's sickening that parents in the name of convenience will expose innocent children to content designed explicitly for adults or worse to lure and warp children (chat rooms have been around as long as Millenials have and are still kicking now under the name Discord.) Some time spent on a phone in a busy supermarket or long car ride is fine. Later in grade school, a home computer or tablet after school and homework are done is fine. Limited time on a shared device. Not 8 hours a day on tiktok looking at God knows what.
@@gingeralice3858Gen Zers aren’t exactly having kids yet, though I doubt most of them are giving their hypothetical kids iPads. You must be thinking of millennials instead, who are surprisingly ignorant to the dangers of the Internet and their kids having unrestricted access to electronics.
I think this is WONDERFUL, and this Sheriff is ABSOLUTELY correct with his actions against these children and the parents. It's about time that our laws make even children accountable for their words and actions.

@CameronJP my sheriff here sucks... Billy Woods doesn't do jack diddly squat for my community and you can't even get a sheriff's deputy out here in a timely manner unless you mention a certain phrase like shots fired
My daughter goes to one of the middle schools the boy threatened. Our county (Volusia County) doesn’t PLAY AROUND with this stuff! They were on top of it before WE even knew about the threat! Her school goes to great lengths to keep people who aren’t students from getting past the gate (the students each wear a school issued ID on a lanyard around their neck that has their name and picture on it) or else they don’t get in without specific permission or a parent can bring the ID up to the school. Either way, they make sure the student knows it’s unacceptable to leave it behind. I hate that this has become so common, these threats. But I am at least glad that our county takes them incredibly serious.
It’s about time someone has the b**ls to do something about this Yay Sheriff Chitwood. I blame every bit of it on the parents Period. If you don’t want to be involved with every aspect of your child’s education, know who their peer groups are, and know what’s going on in their social life outside school - don’t have children for goodness sakes!!

They need to charge the parents
They set the example, along with a former president who is a felon and is probably supported by these parents. This is how our country will be if trump wins, a fucking joke.
An invoice for eleven thousand dollars will get the parents attention.

Yes!! Have these parents pay the bills too.

Thank you Mike Chitwood ! Lets teach them to be accountable as well as their parents! This cannot be tolerated anymore! !
He rarely holds his deputies accountable
This is what happens when you give your kids tablets
... Couldnt it be the school as well...?
OMG ... This guy was a local police chief in Delaware County, PA decades ago ... He has never changed ... Him and Chris Christie graduated from the Frank Rizzo school of blunt and brutal
@@marialewis6432 that was in Portland Maine and that chief was his dad Chitwood himself was a cop in Philadelphia Pennsylvania from I believe 1987 to 2005 and then he was police chief of Shawnee Oklahoma from 2005 to 2006 and then he was Daytona Beach police chief from 2006 to 2016 and he has been sheriff since but a guy name James Powers is running against him for sheriff
Put the parents in jail too! This is ridiculous! We’ll have airport security at middle and high schools soon.
That's the actual goal of the gunner crowd. They want schools to look like jails so kids won't want to learn anything. That way they'll grow up short-sighted and easy to manipulate. This is the whole reason Reagan convinced America to hate its teachers.
So, security theater, then? Because the TSA is absolutely useless. Everything is up to the discretion of the individual agent, and many of them are on a power trip. That is not a good idea for schools. The equipment they use is also extremely finicky, and either brakes very easily, or does not work half the time for its intended use, giving false positives. Do you really want that kind of shit in your kids school? I don’t. Something does have to be done. Look at Australia and the UK. They stopped this very easily.
At this point schools are gonna become like the dang airports and we might require a TSA only this will be called SSA - School Security Administration 🤦🏻♀️ can’t believe this crap

Maybe now we can finally see the faces of these young criminals on the making true nature, raised by equally irresponsible parents, and understand why they deserve no sympathy out in public. Well done, Sheriff Chitwood.
Thank you for still taking the time to investigate this. Its ridiculous that this is the state of our schools now.

Parents should be charged for anyone under 12. Your kid is depressed, unhinged, and angry and you continue to buy him an arsenal of knifes, swords, and BB guns. No 11 year old has any money, all these weapons are enabled by the parents. I mean come the F on!?. Who the F buys their kid 15+ medieval broad swords!, whats a kid at 11 need with all those swords?!.
Thank you! Well said! I agree with everything you wrote.

💯 correct
Parents and kids need to be held accountable. No hiding of the kids' faces because they are "under age."
Under 16; 18 if they don't have a job and they're getting their money from you. After 18, they're on their own unless they're still in hs and living with you. If you say under 12, these "parents" will consider their jobs done at 13 smh
... Couldnt it be the school though...?
Every state in the US needs a sheriff like this 🫡
It is ridiculous, like you said make them pay the cost for investigating their kids.
Parents have lost touch with their kids, dumping them on their phones while they turn to theirs. It's out of control. I left public education because I was fed up with both the kids and parents-sometimes the parents are just as bad, if not worse. I experienced a full lockdown where SWAT went room to room with guns drawn, searching for those not involved. That's no joke in a school where you teach. So, Chitwood, thank you for finally stepping up. It's about time someone held people accountable.
Another thing: cell phone providers offer parents the option to set up parental controls on their kids' phones, but the real issue is there's no accountability. There’s no discipline at home, so kids think they can do whatever they want-and worse, they leave a trail that leads right back to them. Parents need to step up and do their jobs. When I got a phone, it was for emergencies. Now, every kid has one, and it's ruining them, turning them into reckless rugrats roaming around without any consequences.
There used to be a time where parents and teachers worked hand in hand in making sure the kids turns out successful. Used to be if you got it bad at school “just wait until you get home.” Tough love and making sure your kids are on the straight and narrow.
So frustrating this is crazy and absolutely shouldn't be happening. Love how he is looking at this hallelujah. Im glad he stood up like this!
This is appropriate .. The school needs to step up now and never allow this boy back in school .
That will keep him from becoming an isolated miscreant, good thinking.

It's about time, good on this Sheriff!!!!
At this point the kids are just doing it to fuck with you. And it's sad that we've come into a time that we going to have to deal with shit like that.
MAGA trolling
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Parents are supposed to guide and teach their kids. Not to be their friend. This is what happens when you don't have the spine to actually discipline your kid.
So many parents should not have children
I’m glad they’re taking this seriously and that they are making the parents reimburse the city.
There has always been kids and parents that have not been held accountable and the world has supported them in this. We’ll see if they are fair in doing this because so often they do not treat everyone the same.
Be involved with your kids and actually RAISE your kids!!! Kids don’t know integrity n this day and age.
I'm from Colorado. I've seen a little chaos from uncontrollable children and from teenagers. I absolutely agree with the sheriff with his words. It has to be done now by the parents.

THATS RIGHT put their pictures out there PUBLICLY….SHAME THEM …AND PARENTS SHOULD PAY FOR THE EXPENSE OF THE PROCESS INVOLVED
Yes!👍🏻
Children need to be shown and told the consequences of certain actions because they don’t realize
It is not just parents. It is society that does NOT allow any type of consequences for children. This attitude of coddling children and "gentle parenting" has got to stop. Why do you think kids keep doing this? Because there are NEVER any consequences.
*Removing privelages* like TV, video games, going somewhere, etc actually gives them the message *"might thinks right".* Is that the kind of example you want to set for your kids and their kids and their kids' kids?
Think of the children!
I agree completely. Consequences are absent at home, so it takes law enforcement to get involved. I see nothing negative about this. The alternative is continuing letting kids get away with actual murder.
Right on
ABSOLUTELY!!!!
Making parents responsible might mean one less AR-15 for Christmas. 🙄
Who the hell lets an 11 year old collect WEAPONS?
I feel bad for the parents who do try to do things right and still end up with a murderer on their hands.
That’s true bro…I had great parents but I was still a jerk, not like this kid, but still a problem child until I went in the Navy after graduation…definitely made me a better person 🙂
@@mikehirsh33 we live and we learn.
I also blame the government for this problem too. Why? Because the government gave these kids power to call CPS against the good parents that disciplined their children. They labeled everything as abuse. And this gentle parent crap. Gentle parenting don't work for every kid.
Yess, totally agree.
This is absolutely false. I’m a former Texas police officer of two decades and now prosecutor for our DA’s office and the laws of parental child discipline have not been revoked. Parents are still more than legally able to slap their kids as much as physically needed as long as it is still within the scope of discipline. Abuse is when abrupt physical punishment comes due to no wrong committed by the child, or being his so hard significant bruising occurs where hospital admittance is needed. Just had a woman secretly record her husband slapping their son so hard and so many times he pissed his pants. He told the father to go “fck himself” and was slapped 37 times with a belt by the father. Nothing within the scope of this is child abuse nor is it anywhere close to meeting the elements of any child laws we have here or even assault. After CPS refused to do anything about it (they can’t because this is not abuse) she tried to come directly to my office as a prosecutor as if I’m going to do something. I finally was just tired of hearing her ranting about the situation and told her to leave or else I would have her arrested for trespassing. Parents these days are actually dumb enough to think that CPS will do anything the kids want. And when these parents who don’t do their jobs have their kids get older they come visit me and I send them straight to prison.
Not illegal in America, also can you explain why this isn't an issue is Scandinavia? Cause it actually is illegal there
Yea I agree with yelling as it can scare the kid straight but just not on sp%nking as it feels innaproppriate to do on a child and on anybody, I dont get why parents get free pass to Literally Sp%nk their kids even tho IT IS LITERALLY INNAPROPRIATE, also I agree with sheriff chitwood that school shooting threats are getting outta hand in USA, im not from USA and if i will have kids and they misbehave my handcuffs are going to be put on them and idc if my kids ever call CPS, Kids out there need discipline, And If I get arrested for trying to discipline my kids in a different way I'll prob make a speech on why handcuffing is a good punishment on a kid same with yelling
I was a single mom and my kids are grown and they wouldn't even hint at a thought like this.
This is America's Sheriff. This is the man all community law enforcement should follow. I hope he runs for congress. I'll move to his state and district just to vote and support him .
Well done
Now this is what a real sheriff looks like! Kids these days are lacking manners and discipline, causing trouble everywhere, and parents? They could care less.
That's a real American right there. Stand up for sanity.
Parents can and should put apps on their kid's phones where information about every text, email and call made is sent to the parent's email.
If a parent provides a cell phone to their child, they should be help responsible for what that child is doing with that phone. This could protect children from predators
I agree to some degree. If you raised your child right, and you know them then I don’t think they should be monitored 24/7, and you should be able to trust them. Kids deserve their own privacy until they lose it.
They just need to create child phones. A line to 911, and 5 contacts. They don't need the internet or apps. These young brats have instagrams posting this crap.
@@ftumusiclover1239 they’re own social media privacy can start when they are mature enough, around 13 or 14. Know what/who your kids are in contact with. Be A Parent, not a friend. Our times have changed for the worse in this country. Prevent problems before they start.
Crank calls to the police suck. Swatting sucks. False alarms from kids who just want to skip school suck.
If you know something report it. If you’re reporting false things for fun then you should be charged for this. Parents start parenting
ABOUT TIME. Thank you sheriff. We need this to make national news. This ish is getting out of hand. HOLD THESE KIDS AND PARENTS ACCOUNTABLE. 1000% AGREED

People are blaming parents now, but they made it illegal for us to discipline our kids. Remember they called it child abuse.
Remember they said children have rights to make their own decisions.
At least someone is taking it serious. It obvious many parents haven’t and look at what has happened. Keeping the kids safe and teachers is the most important issue.
Great job to that Sheriff..
Now days there is NO JUST THING AS A JOKE OR HOAX WHEN IT COMES TO THREATS, PERIOD...
We need to also hold the parents ACCOUNTABLE...
Now we have to discipline parents to deal with their spoiled children.
love this.
they need to be held accountable. kids shouldnt have to worry about having bulletproof backpacks/binders.
this country is disgusting, and we need change immediately.
This is what happens when a generation of kids are exposed to the internet. More often than not, they meet edgy teenagers or adults online who actually think these events are funny, and spread their sense of humor to the little ones.
For my generation, Gen Z, it was 9/11 jokes and LiveLeak videos. I can only imagine what or who is influencing Gen Alpha to do this.
Parents, stop letting random people from the internet raise your kids. Do it yourself. It's better for everyone that way, unless you lack any redeeming qualities that make a good parent. At that point, the kids are better off with someone else.
It makes me lose faith in humanity watching other Gen Z's have kids and stick them on an iPad. As if we don't know better than any generation before us how damaging the internet can be to a person's developing psyche. I had eating disorders through middle school not because of tv or magazines but because of what I exposed myself to online. If I were any younger I probably would have blamed my gender for all my problems instead of my weight and tried to "fix" that instead. The same problems are still around a decade later but under a different name. It's sickening that parents in the name of convenience will expose innocent children to content designed explicitly for adults or worse to lure and warp children (chat rooms have been around as long as Millenials have and are still kicking now under the name Discord.) Some time spent on a phone in a busy supermarket or long car ride is fine. Later in grade school, a home computer or tablet after school and homework are done is fine. Limited time on a shared device. Not 8 hours a day on tiktok looking at God knows what.
@@gingeralice3858Gen Zers aren’t exactly having kids yet, though I doubt most of them are giving their hypothetical kids iPads. You must be thinking of millennials instead, who are surprisingly ignorant to the dangers of the Internet and their kids having unrestricted access to electronics.
Now watch the parents get more pissy about being called out than at their kids for acting like little shits.
Thank you sheriff!!!!
Good for you, sheriff. Great job.
I think this is WONDERFUL, and this Sheriff is ABSOLUTELY correct with his actions against these children and the parents. It's about time that our laws make even children accountable for their words and actions.
Every state needs to adapt this process and remind these parents it can cost them their jobs, their livelihoods etc !

My daughter goes to one of the middle schools the boy threatened.
Our county (Volusia County) doesn’t PLAY AROUND with this stuff! They were on top of it before WE even knew about the threat!
Her school goes to great lengths to keep people who aren’t students from getting past the gate (the students each wear a school issued ID on a lanyard around their neck that has their name and picture on it) or else they don’t get in without specific permission or a parent can bring the ID up to the school. Either way, they make sure the student knows it’s unacceptable to leave it behind.
I hate that this has become so common, these threats. But I am at least glad that our county takes them incredibly serious.
It’s about time someone has the b**ls to do something about this Yay Sheriff Chitwood. I blame every bit of it on the parents Period. If you don’t want to be involved with every aspect of your child’s education, know who their peer groups are, and know what’s going on in their social life outside school - don’t have children for goodness sakes!!
