It wasn’t until a bomb exploded in our mailbox that the school took action. At that time they questioned the ones we caught. These students denied that we were targeted and stated they were just experimenting and that the incident was an unfortunate coincidence. That was good enough for the school. A campaign began (by her classmates) to punish her for her parents reporting the incident to the sheriff! We did not press charges. The county brought charges against them. However, we did testify. The parents of the accused bombers sent word to us through the county attorney that “Tina was a cry baby and you are over-reacting.” (Judy Kuczynski, 2007 )
