A teenager was warned after a post they allegedly made caused a school in Melbourne to go into lockdown.

A teenage boy has recently found himself in hot water after reportedly sharing a "threatening social media post" that caused a Melbourne school to go on lockdown. According to Victoria Police, the 17-year-old from Hampton was taken into custody yesterday for his alleged involvement in the incident. The post in question was said to have contained possible threats directed towards a teacher from a Bayside school.

The affected school, St Bede's, is a Catholic all-boys secondary school located in Mentone. As a result of the alarming post, the school was put on lockdown at 8:25am and remained in that state for about an hour. Thankfully, no harm was done and everyone on the premises was reported to be safe. In fact, Principal Deb Frizza revealed to 9News that they were able to stay calm and follow the instructions given by Victoria Police.

After being questioned, the teenage boy was eventually released from custody with a caution. It was later clarified by authorities that the threats mentioned in the post were non-specific and not aimed at any particular school or individual. This incident has once again brought attention to the potential dangers of social media and the importance of being responsible when using it.

In the wake of recent school shootings in the United States, the community is understandably on high alert. It's crucial for young people to understand the gravity of their actions and the impact they can have on others. Let's all strive to use social media in a positive and safe manner, and work together to create a peaceful and secure environment for everyone.
