Florida teens arrested for MySpace threat
Violent Threats On MySpace Lead To Teens’ Arrests:
Here we have two teens that thought it was a good idea to threaten a school with murder and rape over MySpace.
Two teenagers were in juvenile detention Thursday, accused of using MySpace to threaten two students at an Orange County school. Maitland police said they believe the teens intended to follow through with those threats.
Austin Dunlap and Zach Adair were arrested and brought to the juvenile assessment center after allegedly making threats of beating, blood and even rape. One teen was taken into custody Wednesday and the other Thursday.
Thursday, behind locked doors and under newly-hired security, Orangewood Christian School began classes for the year, but also under a threat of violence. Those threats came by phone and text message, but mostly on the popular Web site, MySpace.com.
According to a police report, the two teens threatened violence against two students that would occur at the school on Friday, August 17.
The messages read, “You will die. You got 10 days to write your will” and “An amazing day of blood. Orangewood’s gonna die.” Another read, “I’m going to rape your sisters.” They were threats detectives believed the teens were serious about.
Neither Dunlap nor Adair is a student at Orangewood, but one of them went there two years ago. Police said the teens’ parents were unaware of the threats and were shocked by them.
Nice kids.
See what happens when there’s parental non-supervision.

I could care less about what now happens to these 2 boys. I am more concerned about the sister of Austin Dunlap, who also happens to be the girlfriend of Zach Adair. Imagine what she is going through having both her brother and boyfriend arrested and put in jail.
