Every time bogus threats are called in to schools, students and parents are left on edge. Now, Sen. Chuck Schumer is trying to put an end to the disturbing trend known as swatting. CBS2's Doug Williams reports the senator is asking the FBI for help.
Schumer was in Nassau County, Long Island, on Thursday, asking federal law enforcement to find the culprits of these unfounded threats.
"You can't play around with stuff like that 'cause look at all the shootings that's going on," Long Island resident Doniesha Mays said. "I want parents to know that we are taking every single incident very seriously, we treat it as if it's real, but the reality is, this is meant to disrupt and cause chaos in our school system," Hochul said.
