    If a student teacher sent something like that to me I would almost certainly turn them for the safety of all involved. “Jokes” about violence is often times a sign of poor mental health.

    Just to be clear I don’t support mass surveillance. However, I also can’t condone violence or threats of violence especially against children.

      It almost certainly was not a sincere threat of violence. No one is asking you to condone threats of violence against children. You can narc on your friends all you like, but that’s a separate discussion.
