Rocque posted a message to his alleged attacker
saying they are 'done'.
Police say such messages can escalate quickly.
"If a young person is on the Internet and they are
making comments that are threatening in nature,
they need to realize we could be looking at
criminal charges, unwarranted retaliation because
of their comments as well as hampering an
ongoing police investigation," said Sgt. Kelly
Rosnau, school resource officer.
What to do?
