Ugh .... that's awful! So a kid goes to jail in the real world for threatening to blow up a building in an imaginary world? That is getting uncomfortably close to a "thought crime". But the USA isn't free from this shit either. I believe that if you write a fictional story about molesting children, you will go to jail. This is way too close to a "thought crime" for me.
