Keeping Children Safe in Schools

Children as young as nine years old have made violent threats against schools following the deadly Oxford High School shooting. The number of copycats has alarmed Michigan Authorities and has caused tremendous disruption to several Detroit-area high schools. About 18 youth have been charged with school threats in Wayne County. How safe are children in schools, and how can we discourage students from making threatening calls? Journalist Khalil Hachem discussed the topic with Dr. Scott Poland, Dr. Glenn Maleyko and Ken Trump.
