Just in case in a new world order, the olypics now consist of prisoner fighters from all over the country. It's a fight to the death. And they want to bring honor to their nation. Prize isn't a medal, tis freedom!

We have the technology to implant such skills in our corrected criminals:
Girl is clearly dumb as hell, but arresting her seems a tad OTT. It's fairly obvious there is not actual threat here, just a typically adolescent lack of judgment.

They wouldn't be jokes if they happened, so no, none of the people who warned other people - like the Columbine idiots - made jokes about shooting up the school. They made threats.

Plus sometimes an example needs to be made. If she was let off the hook because it was just a joke, more people would make the same joke, and that could greatly hinder tryng to spot the real threats.

The warning signs for things like Columbine were different and a lot more significant than a ridiculous tweet claiming to be someone else from another country.

Hopefully the Dutch Police will give her a good talking to and her parents will cut back her computer access.
Further punishment seems excessive, though she may unfortunately end up on a No Fly list anyway.
I'm not saying they should completely ignore it, but they need to be careful that their response doesn't get out of hand. I more or less agree that a good talking to from the police would probably be enough, but much more than that would probably be more than is warranted.

Yeah, this was pretty stupid of her but she's 14. When it comes to doing stupid gak being 14 is probably as a good an excuse as their is, given your brain is physically hardwired for "Do stupid gak." Nothing wrong with giving the kid a good rattling, a scare can certainly be a valuable learning experience.
Still with all the attention it's getting and the way things stick around on the internet it seems like this has a chance of following her around way longer than it really should.

It might be old and outdated, but I do the same thing for my children. But son who is 9 I allow on facebook occasionally to play games with his school friends, but after his timer goes off, it's time to do something constructive. I agree completely with your stance on the matter.

Considering that stuff like this has a tendency to follow you around forever, and that background checks for jobs are more intrusive than ever (and if you ever have a job in that will involve lots of public exposure, a single social misstep posted online can ruin your career), I'd say that it's not at all unreasonable, either.

Thank god I was a stupid kid before the internet was a thing.
You probably would have gone through a similar ordeal if you yelled "bomb!" in an airport. If you ran when security showed up you would have made it worse.
We should remember nothing has really happened to this girl yet beyond a scare, so I don't see getting all up in a lather about it. If they press charges and she goes to court or is sentenced then it might be time to reevaluate, but as it is the only thing that has happened is being picked up and questioned, which is a good way to scare someone, but doesn't effect their life horribly.
Oh-so-much this, scare the crap out of her, but if it ends up costing taxpayers money to prosecute and convict a 14 year old dutch girl for a threat that is obviously not serious and entirely empty of action, then something went wrong somewhere.
That being said, whenever I read stories like this, it makes me want to quit my job, go back to university to get a PhD is physics and get a research grant so I can develop portal technology, just so I can stick the orange portal in front of my face, the blue one on the back of my head, and then facepalm myself through the front, out the back, then reach around over the top of my head and back through to create some sort of space-time-continuum-bending non-terminating facepalm loop for the rest of eternity...

What could happen to these kids is they get on an FBI watchlist and certain ones may have the inability to ever travel by plane or pepple watching them.
Arresting all would be stupid, but watching them is what could be a consequence because of a trivial threat.
While it's not the worst thing in the world for someone to do, I think she and her parents she be fined heavily for her stupidity as an example to teens, twitter users, and kittens that hate freedom EVERYWHERE!
