    printer friendly version

    Question: CAN YOU TELL A TEACHER THAT YOU WANT TO BURN DOWN THE SCHOOL AND IF IT HAPPENS DO YOU GET CONVICTED OF THE CRIME?

    Answer: You definitely do not want to make statements about burning down your school to a teacher or to anyone else. Arizona law (A.R.S. § 13-2911), makes it a class 6 felony to threaten to damage a school, whether you actually do it or not. Not only will you be charged with a crime but you will face suspension, expulsion or other disciplinary actions. If the school actually burns down after you have made such a threat, you would most likely be investigated for arson. All of these are very serious offenses so if you made such a statement to a teacher, you should speak with him/her and try to explain that you didn't mean it!!

     For more information on school threats, visit the LawForKids.org Youth Laws section.

    I think that if you say something like that, you should definately be convicted of the crime because you endangered the lives of many children.
