I'm not saying he shouldn't have taken it seriously, I'm saying he should have reported the little bastards to the police, but in terms of whether or not it was an actual viable threat ... it's much more likely that a bunch of 10 year olds just think they're being "edgy". Acceptable no and should be taken seriously, but enough to prompt a grown man to go vigilante with threats on children?

Even if you argue he was "pushed" it's not really much of a point ... no one is saying he should be charged or go to jail, just that he shouldn't work with children, if they can "push his buttons" in a way that leads to him being openly threatening. It would apply either way.

It's not like primary school teaching is a high-paid career that will significantly ruin his home life if he can't do it. He should give up on working with kids and move on.

I’m not defending him, I was merely looking into why someone goes to far

The right decision was made but years ago him or his parents would of given the kids a clip round the ear and that would of been the end of it.
