I don't care what they write, it's not a threat until it's sent or delivered to someone. Handing it in to a teacher as a writing assignment doesn't count either.
If someone is freaked by a kids writings then talk to them, ask pointed questions if necessary to clear the air. But locking them up or throwing them out of school for "just in case", clearly sends the wrong message.
