Ohio Teen Sentenced to Probation, Ordered to Write Book Report for Planning Synagogue Attack

The 13-year-old boy, who shared his attack plan on Discord, will also undergo counseling and is prohibited from unsupervised internet use.

A 13-year-old boy in Ohio who admitted to planning a mass shooting at a synagogue has been sentenced to a year of probation and ordered to write a book report on Carl Lutz, a Swiss diplomat who saved thousands of Jews during World War II.
The boy was arrested in September after he shared his detailed plan to attack Temple Israel in Canton, Ohio, on the social media platform Discord.
Discord alerted the FBI to the threats, leading to his arrest. The boy was part of multiple anti-Semitic and political groups on the platform.
The boy pleaded 'true', equivalent to guilty in family court, to misdemeanor charges of inducing panic and disorderly conduct.
As part of his probation, the boy is prohibited from having unsupervised use of the internet and must continue to undergo counseling.
