My son was arrested and is being charged with 2nd degree terroristic threats. His teacher states she witnessed him type into an AI chatbot that he has a bomb and will blow the school up. I understand the seriousness of this statement but I also know my son. He was telling a bad joke to AI to amuse himself with zero intention of causing harm to anymore or bring attention to himself. He thought he was talking to a computer. Is there a way to save him from this. Please help me. Thank you in advance for any help. Location: Enterprise Alabama.

You should hire a criminal defense attorney and follow their advice.
It looks like it is a Class D felony. So if he is convicted then he will have trouble finding a good job in the future.
These kind of threats are taken seriously with the number of school shootings that happen every year.
He is looking at not only being suspended from his current school but also banned from all public K-12 public schools in Alabama for at least one-year and a psychology exam. If convicted he will be expelled from the school district.
