A Chester County 7th grader is facing criminal charges after police say she admitted to school officials to writing bomb threats on a bathroom wall twice in less than two weeks.
The 12-year-old girl told administrators at Kennett Middle School on Sept. 30 and Oct. 10 that she found threatening words on the interior wall of a bathroom stall, according to police.
The September incident prompted police to search the school property with bomb-sniffing dogs, authorities said.
But school officials questioned the girl when she came to them on Oct. 10 to report an eerily similar incident -- and then the student confessed to writing the bomb threats both times, investigators said.
The 12-year-old girl is facing multiple charges including threats to use weapons of mass destruction and terorristic threats.
Authorities have not released her name due to her age. The girl remains in the custody of her parents and is not permitted to be on the Kennett Middle School grounds.
