MOUNT CLEMENS - A 12-year-old girl accused of messaging friends about a plan to bomb her suburban middle school pleaded no contest to terror threat charges.

A large number of students skipped the school in the state Michigan on December 12, two days after some received instant messages on their home computers that read: „I am going to bomb Wyandot Middle School” and warned them to stay home that week. Clinton Township police and computer experts traced the messages to the girl’s computer, and she confessed to sending them, authorities said.
In court last Wednesday, the girl answered questions about school, her family and her understanding of the law before entering the plea. She was charged as a juvenile.
The no-contest plea is not an admission of guilt but is treated as such for sentencing purposes. The girl already had been suspended from school.
The same school district, Chippewa Valley in the Detroit suburbs, also recently dealt with a teenage boy convicted in July of plotting a massacre at his high school. He was sentenced to 4 1/2 to 22 years in prison for threatening terrorism and amassing an arsenal in his home. Authorities learned of the boy’s plot after an Idaho girl reported he had told her of his massacre plans in Internet messages. (World)
