A 33-year-old black mother has been charged with making written death threats to a middle school student on Facebook

Orange County deputies said that Rayshell Lavone Smith sent an eighth-grader messages saying that she was going to the school with a gun to "off you". According to an investigative report, Smith's daughter argued with another student at Freedom Middle School about someone who brought a knife to school. The fight continued for a few days until Smith sent the student a message on November 23, 2011 saying that she would put a gun in the student's mouth. She wrote: "So you the [expletive] messing with my girls. I will see you when school gets in." The student told a school officer. Smith apologized, but the student said that she was still afraid. Deputies worked with Orange County school's safety manager Jason Loomis to secure the campus to keep Smith from coming on the grounds. The affidavit said that Smith told police she only wrote the message because people had been stirring trouble with her daughter and she was tired of it. The 33-year-old African-American is a convicted felon who has spent time in prison for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
