The Georgia student who shared a photo of a crowded hallway at her high school says she has received threats. The school will temporarily switch to virtual learning after nine people tested positive for coronavirus.

North Paulding High School sophomore Hannah Watters,, told CNN's Boris Sanchez Sunday night that she has received threats over her release of the photo.

One message said"I know where this girl lives," Hannah said. Other threats, she said, included,"We're going to jump every girl named Hannah in the 10th grade," and"Hannah is going to have a rough day at school on Monday." She said that she understands that seniors are worried they may have their last year of high school taken away from them and that she doesn't want that. Hannah only released the photo to keep people safe, she said.

Oh no

Georgia is -well- segregated.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say.

As well it should! Students and faculty and staff comes first!

Why would you threaten a teenager for pointing out a safety issue? Look, 9 kids tested +. They brought it home to their families. If she didn't act, how many more? dothemarh 😔

Honestly let's us put on a teacher's hat. How can we teach in classroom while we can't breath safely?

Sad

What did those jackasses expect?

Who is responsible spreading COVID.

Well it was a bad idea to begin with

She saved lives

The only one that should be receiving threats and pictures up on Twitter, are the staff that run the school, the superintend, there the dumb asses !

People must want to die

SaveOurChildren

Don't blame her....she did what she should have done and maybe it will help save more from getting the virus. How stupid was this! The school administration was not prepared for the students to be back in school. Thank God this young lady stepped up to help say thank you!

Just gonna sit back and laugh at all the stupid dead people who caught the 'flu'

I’m glad you posted this picture...way to go!

Trump threats are from cowards

I highly suspect she did not voluntarily go to school but had an alternative motive.

They should charge the people making threats with terrorism. She may have saved lives.

That student should not be going through those threats.If i were her parent she wouldn't even be in school in the first place.Remember theres no death penalty for not sending your kids to school.But if you do who knows?If shes afraid to go to school dont send her.Screw the school

Is it so hard to wear facemasks?

Masks?

Just heard Surgeon_General say that we need to “make mask wearing more cool, so kids will do it.” REALLY? Since when do we ask kids permission for them to do the right thing? That’s what rules and laws are for. Feckless parenting!

Pure incompetence on full display here!

No surprise here 😔

If this pic is from CNN it’s probably not current . I can tell nobody is wearing a mask and I’m sure that mandatory.

It's the innate weakness of adolescents; their personal fable that they are invulnerable to illness, and invincible to death. They need a dose of reality; like yesterday.

You can tell who’s aTrump supporters

Threats for protecting people? People are assholes.

They did not close the schools because someone tested positive for the flu, they closed because there are thousands dying for THAT flu in the USA and around the world.

... Ruby Red Georgia County School admin thought they would be able to lie to public regarding following cedc directions kemp and trump are going to kill people with this strategy

😂😂😂your parents like don covid CAN U SPELLING LIVING WILL

The irony

These are the visuals who are responsible for the Department of Education in Georgia they all need to be terminated.They’re incompetent and derelict in their duties

How do you think herd immunity works. This is fine and should be the case. Continuing to isolate will just stretch this out for years. Oh wait, that's the plan

Threats. What a country this has become. Who is threatening her, the principal? Superintendent? They should close down for the semester. These cases will continue to increase.

Threatening a young girl for posting a picture about how crowded the halls were in her school shows you under Trump how ridiculous and dangerous this country has become.

People are mean, cruel and murderers, threatening this child. I wonder which race promoting this type of behavior?🤔😷😥

It’s almost as if we all saw this coming. All of us except the idiots who think this virus is no big deal, don’t want to wear a mask, or are Trump supporters. This is what happens when the truth is constantly ignored for favor of greed and pride and ego and ignorance.

Why does this article contain a picture of the student and her full name? 🤦🏻‍♀️ And, what the heck are the students in this photo doing? Doesn’t look like anyone is moving.

Kids aren't dying from this virus....let em get sick and build antibodies. Nbd

Comrade trumps poorly educated loyal clones believe that kids are immune to the virus because he has said so. But what his poorly educated clones don't seem to grasp is when these kids take it home to Thier parents and grandparents that's when the deaths start piling up.

Yes, in tRumpland, of course the appropriate response is to suspend and threaten her. How dare this young lady expose such a health threat to herself and every other person in the building? Let's not encourage her diligence, instead let's demonize and frighten her :(

What is shocking to me is there not even wearing a mask.

This is a crime

Over 40 shootings in Atlanta since July 4th and this is the stupid shit you report on!? WTH CNN!

She did the right thing sharing this photo, those parents put their children at risk .

It takes a child to expose the ignorance of Adults in rural Redneck Ga.

RonMFlores Idiot brigade making threats.

Who cares about Parties no one is doing anything to help the American people but talk the Republican or Democratic Parties are not stepping up to stop the unjust that is happening here in the USA. The Republicans are now the Reepers!

Very sad

Good thing their survival rate is 99.7%

Stupid

🤔😂😂 but all lives matter

The Right wing 'Jesus's' of this world won't be able to save America.

Cnn reported this story. I'm sure there are being allot of facts left out. I am one who is very skeptical about all the covid numbers, but it is August. Why put the kids back in school or even do viral learning. Delay it until the end of the year and just run it through summer

WHY IS THIS A SURPRISED? WTF WAS EXPECTED?

WOW!!!!! Hey BrianKempGA how's that working out listening to Trump? Sending people kids back to school while Barron's private school hasn't opened yet from the fear of COVID19. I guess Georgian kids aren't as important as Trump's kid.

if the school’s COVID policies weren’t dangerous, they’d never have disciplined her the school officials are clearly wrong or else they’d have no need to silence this evidence that clearly proves they are responsible for sickening their community’s children. Georgia

When will these people learn we need to wear a mask and distance ourselves?

Does CNN have any news agents in Portland Oregon Portland not part of the world we live in delusional media CNN this is why your ratings stink

Rwhats on

.

No wonder, They didn't wear any facemasks. They shared their breath in enclosed area.

انقذوا_ارواح_المعلمين_الاردنيين sos_jordanian_teachers

She should be applauded for doing this, it showed the dangers and how it was caused

THEY SHOULD HAVE PARADE FOR HER 👏 👏 👏 👏 ALL THE STUDENTS WOULD HAVE THIS AND THE TEACHERS AND THEN THE PARENTS WOULD HAVE IT EVEN PARENTS NEED TO TAKE TIME OFF TO CARE FOR QUARANTINED KID

If they're so confident without masks why threaten her

Georgia is such a beautiful state, some great minds live there. None of them happen to be in charge at the moment. It’s a shame that they keep electing imbeciles that don’t know how to lead through this health crisis, or anything else... 🤷‍♀️

What the hell kinda message does that send? Persecute the whistleblower? Really? Shame on those that threaten and bully. This student should be honoured for her courage and for doing the right thing. Shame on Government and school too!!

go online get a bachelors degree in 18 months skip the 70,000 student loan class clowns / bullies/ drug dealers / players / jocks .....

Fake photo. It’s hot in Georgia. These students are dressed for cooler weather. Fake news once again!

Wow, the one civilized country that couldn't control the spread of the virus doesn't know how to manage the reopening of schools during a pandemic, who would've thought.

For a moment, someone would think that happened in a dictatorial state somewhere in the middle east. Theresnt much difference nway

Threats should be taking seriously and the fbi should be notified!

'YA JUST CAN'T FIX STUPIE!'

Good on that Girl at least she had brains the others did not have any brains🙉

matt081698

Who threatens a kid...fucking covidiots!

Instead of tweeting about students who have the right to show case their concern, why dnt u post of how Cnn chooses to keep quiet on child trafficking and refuses to show case how some of ur directors are in co-hoots with gale and sodomising kids

The school will will temporarily close for two days to 'clean'. It's a an attempt to make it seem that they care.

Missing from the headline.. and deaths occurred were? Slight coughs where? No symptoms whatsoever where? Death rate 0.37% and guess the average age.

Really one of your other liberal stations said 150 kids. You say 9 they say 150...which one is it?

Hillbillies

Threats from adults, I think the adults are children and children are adults, what an ass backwards world we live in

She is a true hero!

The student should be considered a whistleblower. Therefore, protected by law.

What r these parents thinking its an easy decision

These kids catch the virus they might be ok. But what about the grandparents and others that they come in contact with that’s not as healthy as they are. You jus passed on a virus that can kill the next person.

We need more crowded hallways in schools. The science says children aren’t at risk.

And the students going home to infect their parents and grandparents. Cool planning huh America.

Virus is here to stay!😡

Apply little bit of common sense, is this called social distancing with no one wearing Mask either, are people so dump to ignore thee life if there grown kids by sending to the school with our having safety measures, serious administrative changes needs to be in government too

You could put the blame on the Ignorant Donald Trump

What a hero😂😂 fucking joke.

And her warnings were 100% valid!

She made good trouble

It was way more than that. 19x __ That’s why they are switching.

They should thank him instead. He probably saved many lives

Georgia Governor is an Idiot!

ShoppingDiva812 What a nightmare. VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare

Wow 😯 unbelievable

Their stupid and ignorant!!! Why threaten her the school should be threaten for allowing this to happen!!!!!

Lol. You think only one kid took a photo of the crowded school?

Thank you cnn and staff, for doing such amazing work in programming the youth to be such upstanding whistle blowers. Your contribution for having created a future, brainless and incapable of thinking civilization. Fortunately the afterlife has plans for you. Enjoy!!

So she saved a lot of people lives and they hate him or her for it

Imagine my surprise

🤦‍♀️

Is trump reading this?

Only in the United States!!!

mpa8pmm.7q.lnnn86 xm inn.cccxz zvvvvvvvo222Ddd5c zz🚶

Wow...

Clearly this Country is being ran by morons.

Stupidity have No cure. This is what happened when you don’t follow cdc guidelines.

Ibermensch Lo que debería ser delito es empezar clases en agosto

The Right (conservative & neo-conservative) have no problem threatening people that show how wrong the Right is on so many fronts. Intimidation is their way - its unleashed facism. Vote OUT all GOP everywhere to save the country.

Why are you so concerned about people being tested positive for “covid” The test do not isolate covid 19. It’s ALL coronaviruses if at all. I believe that includes the common cold and antibodies/Tcells months or years before the tests. Relax. It’s a political narrative.

More will test positive they all need to sign waivers that they will not head to the hospitals and I am not surprised anymore I am ashamed of what this country has become.

lies.

I applaud her. Those who are against her action are acting like Karen. bravery

its ok he said the virus is leaving.

Why do people still wanna pretend there's no Pandemic killing Americans everyday and by sending students back to school without it being safe to just spends the virus even more! Threatening to student who took this photo 📷 is just stupid and ignorant at it's worst in a Pandemic

People don't understand. Do not listen to the trump administration they don't care about anyone

Find the people who threatenedf the student beat there asses and then throw them in jail.

A lot of you clowns have keyboard courage. Threatening a child because of this.Please!!

She is a good person and deserves respect & admiration for getting herself into Good Trouble because she cared👩‍🎤💜🙏

How many of those 9 went to the hospital or had bad symptoms?

Parents are so desparate to get away from ther chosen responsibilities that they are now threatening other minors? Yikes! It’s weird how the majority of parents don’t think the possibilities of parenting before becoming one. Students: KEPP POSTING THE PICS! Do the right thing!

She is being threatened by trumps disgusting people

The younger generation is changing this country, they have more sense then most adults have today. Thank you for being brave, thoughtful and respectful of others as well as yourself.

They should be thanking her.

These students look to be old enough to know to keep space between them ... but then it doesn’t surprise me as kids are never held accountable for any of their behaviors these days . They only mimic what the adults around them do ( as well as peer pressure) .

Unbelievable

It's all about freedom, unless you show the fright-wing with their pants down - and then you get threats (AKA terrorism)

lawrencehurley Trump: 'All the Schools Must Open!' The Schools: 'Oooops' Not so fast....

Kids are more smarter than paid adults.

The parents or guardians of this girl need to sue the principal & school district for putting her life in public & exposing her to death threats. Federal government protects whistle blowers.

Here we go! Open, close.

In Humpty Trumpty logic taking the photo caused the students to test Positive Amazing STUPIDITY

Instead of Mt. Rushmore maybe we should name a morgue after Trump. What state should get the Trump Covid Morgue? TrumpKillsAmericans

Reward her with whistle blower status

The principal or whomever suspended her should be getting the death threats.

Making america great again

The school itself wasn't in compliance with COVID rules if this is true. This should never been allowed to happen if this is true. I don't believe this to be true, but fakenews! Why do people attending anything except protests and riots get infected with the virus? 🥱

Anyone making threats against a MINOR should be charged ASAP

Mandate masks. It’s not that hard.

Backlash for being responsible for others

I hope 🤞 whoever is threatening this student gets bad covid and sufferings . Then they will understand the severity of this situation.

Students in this age range are literally more likely to die in a car accident on the way to school than die of covid....

The superintendent of that school should be fired. The student did the right thing. She had concern for her fellow students.

Pero mira todos lo que no llevan mascarilla y para colmo todos pegados🙄🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

When confronted with truth and facts...threatened them.

The school administration needs to take those threats seriously especially if it is from another student. It is considered bullying- THAT warrants a suspension.

🌷🙂🌷🙂🌷🙂🌷 Mark my words, Returning to schools will be 'DISASTER'. Virtual learning should be required for now until under control. Children and Teachers shouldn't be Guinea pigs. 🙂👱‍♀️😷

Join Parler for community! We’re having fun!

Maybe the kid had concerns for her life. We should be thanking her for showing that this will be the reality for schools who have no intentions of abiding by CDC regulations

Who tested the children? There were be zero cases if you tested nobody. You monsters need to be held accountable for choosing to test people.

LAUGHS THEY HAVE 14 TRUMPVIRUIS INFECTIONS AND COUNTING!!!!

Why would some idiot even feel the need to threaten her? Why would students or parents be hurt by what she exposed rather than angry that the school isn’t doing its job?

“Temporarily switch to virtual learning” 🙄soon as y’all open back up more kids will get the virus. Dummies

Why are they blaming anything on her? They are now closing the school because there were always infected students and no one was wearing masks or distancing. I actually don't think education is going to help these kids. It didn't do anything for their parents or the school board.

Deplorable! And now everyone’s getting COVID! What a huge tragedy: The level of ignorance .

She’s a hero! Fire the principal!

I don’t think she shared the photo to hurt anyone. I think she was afraid of the virus spreading & she even stated she wanted to be in school because virtual learning would be a challenge for her.

that girl did the right thing for all! And now that its public with her telling shes been threatened, they should give fair warning that they will be punished with long jail time. this bullying shit needs to end!

Grown ass adults threatening a student who was RIGHT.
