GOSHEN – The 9-year-old third-grade girl charged with leaving a threatening phone message at a Middletown school did not appear as expected Monday in Orange County Family Court.

No petition has been filed so far in Family Court regarding the girl, who has been charged as a juvenile with making a terroristic threat, a felony; and misdemeanor aggravated harassment.

The phone message was left on Dec. 26 on a voicemail at the Maple Hill Elementary School in Middletown, and discovered the morning of Jan. 4. The girl was arrested by Wallkill police later that day and released to a parent.
