A police operation at a high school in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is causing a stir. Three officers were alerted to messages that a 16-year-old had posted on a social network.

But the police themselves admitted: It cannot be ruled out that the police operation was carried out by others people “was perceived publicly”
