THE MCCAULEY CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL

The school was quick to reassure parents

Horrified parent Shanie Varley took her 15-year-old daughter out of school because of the threat.

She said: “The post had been seen and then sent on through Snapchat and then Facebook so all the kids knew but the parents weren’t told.

“As soon as I got off the phone with her I contacted the school, who said that police were there and that it was ‘nothing to worry about’.

“But she’s my daughter and I didn’t feel safe so I got her dad to pick her up and bring her to work with me where she’s been doing revision.”

A police spokesman said: “We can confirm that police have received a report regarding potentially unauthorised and malicious posts made on a social media account.

“This information has now been passed to the North East Counter Terrorism Unit.”
