A Michigan mother is facing serious consequences after authorities say she crossed a dangerous line over a school play.
According to People, Crystal Royster, 42, was sentenced to 18 months of probation, with 14 days to be served in Macomb County Jail, after reportedly calling in two false bomb threats to her daughter’s school in St. Clair Shores, Michigan.
Prosecutors say the threats were made after Royster learned her daughter had been barred from participating in a school play. The calls forced the evacuation of more than 700 people and triggered a massive emergency response from police and first responders. Investigators later determined the threats were an act of retaliation after the child became ill during rehearsal and left early.
As part of her sentence, Royster must complete a Class A impulse control course, notify the school whenever she enters campus, and is prohibited from contacting any victims connected to the incident.
What should have been a moment for calm communication turned into a public safety scare with real consequences. This case is a reminder that emotions don’t excuse actions — and that false threats endanger lives, drain resources, and traumatize entire communities.
