Ian Fotheringham, a Falmouth, Massachusetts teenager accused of threatening a school shooting , could soon be released from jail.

A Barnstable District Court judge ruled that Fotheringham should not be held without bail. Instead, the teen can go free if he posts a $2500 bail and wears a GPS monitoring device.

Fotheringham, 18, was arrested last Thursday. He's charged with threatening to use a deadly weapon in a public building.

He is expected to post bail on Wednesday. The news is a blow to a group of mothers who sat in court on behalf of their children.

"We as parents are all now left with the decision of, do we send our children to school tomorrow knowing that their lives could be taken. And that's an impossible situation," said Dianna Wilson, a Falmouth parent.
