Thousands of Santa Clarita parents received this email from the Hart District today.
Good afternoon. This is an informational message for parents in the Hart School District: The Sheriff’s Department has asked us to inform our parents that there is an e-mail circulating around Santa Clarita that a gang initiation will occur this evening at Wal-Mart in Santa Clarita. This is the same e-mail hoax that has been sent out in several other states. The Santa Clarita Sheriff’s Department is aware of this e-mail and, for the assurance and safety of the community, they will maintain a strong presence in the area. There is no action required of local parents at this time. This is simply an informational message to make you aware of a community situation.
Apparently it is a hoax and as impacted many cities across the country. If you do a Google search for WalMart hoax there is a whole bunch that come up in cities in Georgia, Arkansas, California, etc.
Santa Clarita teens went wild with forwarding this text message all over town and the news spread like wildfire. Surely Walmart must have seen a decline in customer traffic. It’s likely for the next few days people may choose to go to Target until the fear settles.
