A viral social media trend involving the “Cat in the Hat” has created concern in our community and school districts nationwide. The "Cat in the Hat" trend involves posting or sharing unsettling AI-generated images and videos of the Dr. Seuss character on social media, often accompanied with vague or direct threats to schools and lists student names.

The Maury County Sheriff’s Department and our school district have promptly investigated multiple “Cat in the Hat” social media posts/accounts and identified the source of each threat. Appropriate school policies, disciplinary, and legal actions have been enforced.

We want to be unequivocally clear: Maury County Public Schools has zero tolerance for threats, threatening language or content that promotes or suggests violence against our schools, students, and/or staff.

Individuals who create, repost, share, forward or otherwise distribute threatening content will be subject to disciplinary ramifications at school and criminal charges. Sharing or amplifying threatening content will be treated as a threat.

We ask parents/guardians to speak with your children about responsible social media use. Anyone who discovers a threatening post naming a specific school or person should report it immediately to law enforcement.

Parents, students, and community members can also submit information about known, or possible threats of violence through the SafeTN app. Tips can be submitted 24/7 through the app. The Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security will review, assess, and then send all submissions to law enforcement, mental health crisis response teams, and/or school administrators for intervention based on the information received.

Our priority is the safety of every student and employee. We will continue to investigate all credible reports, work closely with law enforcement and take appropriate action whenever a threat is identified.

We want to make you aware of an online concern that was recently brought to the attention of school administrators and local law enforcement. A TikTok account was identified that contained AI-generated images featuring The Cat in the Hat with our school visible in the background. The account also included an image displaying student names.

School administrators, in coordination with the Maury County Sheriff’s Department, promptly investigated the account and identified the source of the online threat. Appropriate school policies and disciplinary measures have been enforced.

We want to reassure our families that at no time were students in danger or unsafe at school. The safety and well-being of our students and staff remain our highest priority.

We sincerely appreciate everyone who brought this information to our attention and helped ensure that the appropriate authorities were notified. As a reminder, if you or your child becomes aware of a known or possible threat, please report it immediately through the SafeTN app. Tips can be submitted 24/7 through the mobile app from any compatible device. The Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security will review, assess, and then send all submissions to law enforcement, mental health crisis response teams, and/or school administrators for intervention based on the information received.

Parents and guardians of students whose names appeared on the list have been contacted directly. If you did not receive a phone call from the school, based on the information available to us at this time, your child was not included on the list.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support as we work together to keep our school community safe.
