Professionals should always take any potential threats seriously and prioritize the safety of all individuals involved. While it may be tempting to handle the situation internally or simply expel the client from treatment, these options do not address the potential danger that a threat poses to the school community.

It is important to disclose the threat and relevant communication to appropriate authorities who can take necessary action to ensure everyone's safety.
