Bomb threats breed more bomb threats

Over the past eight days, three bomb threats have sent students out of school in Floyd -- two at the high school and one at the elementary.

On Wednesday, police and school administrators moved students from Floyd Elementary School to the auditorium at the high school just up the hill after a bomb threat was found written on a bathroom wall.

This followed another written threat that emptied the high school the day before and one that sent students into the field at the front of the school last week.

In all three cases, written threats appeared at the schools. None were phoned in.

Besides the surge in bomb threats, graffiti and vandalism are on the increase in Floyd County.

What the hell is going on?
