A Hall County mother is in jail after she posted a Facebook Live video where she appears to threaten to shoot students who bullied her son at school.

Police arrested Cirea Oliver, 29, at Gainesville Middle School on Monday in connection with the 44-minute video, Channel 2 Action News reported.

In the video, which has since been taken down, Oliver speaks specifically about a group of students who she says constantly bully her 11-year-old son, Channel 2 reported.

She places blame on the students, their parents and the school’s teachers.

“Ain’t nobody calming down,” she says at one point in the video, which was sent to Channel 2. “It’s a lack of parenting, and it’s a lack of (expletive) teachers giving a (expletive) about these kids.”

Several times in the video, Oliver says she would shoot the students and teachers, Channel 2 reported.

“I’m going to tell you right now,” she says. “I’m putting a bullet through all y’all (expletive) heads. I put that on my (expletive) kids.”

Oliver is charged with making terroristic threats, jail records show. She was booked into the Hall County jail, where she remains.
