So having a school as the setting for a story is illegal? What a bunch of hogwash! Kids write stories set in familiar settings. The story is about zombies, a work of fiction. According to the author there is no mention of specific people or schools. (And yes, the school and the students guardians definitely need to help with the fundamentals of english.)
Without specific threat or expression of intent there should be no crime commited. Wishing something bad would happen to someone is not a crime, acting on that wish would be.
If this kid would have been out of High School nobody would have thought twice about them writting stories set at a school. I guess if your last name isn't King or Clancy you aren't allowed to write fiction.
Edit: First part of the post was written just after Daemon's post. Did the reporter actually read the kid's story? Is it specific enough to be considered a threat? Does it really have zombies in it? Is the blogger's identity confirmed? Are the first and second news stories about the same issue?
