Pembroke Pines, Florida – Accused of making threats on social media against a charter school in Pembroke Pines, a 13-year-old girl was arrested Friday, police said.
According to the Pembroke Pines Police Department, the girl, who is a former student at Renaissance Charter School at Pines, faces a second-degree felony charge for making a written threat to do bodily harm or commit an act of terrorism.

We are proud of those who made us aware of the concern and encourage our students to always report any situation that causes them concern.”
