Question: What are a child's rights when they knew about a bomb threat but did not participate in it?
Answer: Not reporting knowledge of a bomb threat could be a violation of school rules. If a student is accused of breaking a rule, his or her parents can ask for a hearing. If the person helped plan or encouraged the bomb threat in any way, he or she could be breaking a law. A person questioned about a bomb threat does have the right to refuse to talk or can ask to first talk privately with his or her parents, guardian, or lawyer. This is a potentially serious offense.

This is something that bothers me all the time. I live in India and the situation at school is not at all favourable for timid kids. Its very scary and difficult for the child to report something to the authorities when he or she is not guarateed protection.
