THREATENING TIK TOK REEL CIRCULATING IN NEIGHBORING
PARISHES

NAPOLEONVILLE– Assumption Parish Sheriff Leland Falcon is utilizing this message proactively to inform all parents and students of a threatening Tik Tok reel circulating in our neighboring parishes. This reel is the “Cat in the Hat,” using Dr. Seuss style verbiage to threaten violence upon schools and individuals.

The sheriff’s office is prepared to aggressively respond to any such activity that may occur in Assumption Parish.

It is important that our students of all ages understand that creating, sharing, or circulating messages relating to violence is a violation of the law and contrary to polices of our public education system.

Whomever creates such images and utilizes them on Tik Tok or any other social media sites and anyone who shares such images can face severe consequences from Law-Enforcement as well as the education system.

Safety is our top priority, and any such threats will be taken seriously. This type of activity will not be treated as a hoax or a joke.

If any student, parent, or member of the community should observe or receive any such material via Tik Tok or any other social media site, we ask that you immediately contact the sheriff’s office at 985-369-2912, your school resource officers and / or school administrators.

An image of what the reel could look like is attached to this article.

Sheriff Falcon thanks all students, parents, and community members for their cooperation in this matter.
