Abdul posted the screenshot on Thursday of Leon M. Goldstein High School for the Sciences in Manhattan Beach on Google Maps with the disturbing caption, the New York Post reported.
“They’ve all gone on ‘Birthright,’” the Brooklyn resident added in the caption, referring to a program that offers free 10-day trips to Israel for Jewish young adults, according to the New York Post.
The New York City Police Department arrested Abdul at her home Friday, charging her with making a terroristic threat, acting in a manner injurious to a child, aggravated harassment, and making a threat of mass harm, the New York Post reported.
