And in Tacoma, Washington, school officials have acknowledged Secret Service agents recently interrogated a seventh grader during school without notifying the boy’s mother. Thirteen-year-old Vito LaPinta was questioned after he wrote a Facebook message expressing concern that suicide bombers would target President Obama following the death of Osama bin Laden. The boy described what happened in an interview with TV channel Q13 in Seattle.

Vito LaPinta, seventh grader: “A man walked in in a suit and glasses, and he said that he was part of the Secret Service. And he told me it was because of a post that I made, and it indicated as a threat towards the President.”

Vito’s mother, Timi Robertson, expressed outrage over the incident.

Timi Robertson, LaPinta’s mother: “I just about lost it. My son, my 13 year-old son, who’s a minor, who’s supposed to be safe and secure in his classroom at school, is being interrogated, without my knowledge or consent, privately by the Secret Service.”
