An 11-year-old girl has been arrested and charged with a felony after falsely reporting that her friend had been kidnapped when she was inspired by an online challenge.
Yeah. She’s 11 and didn’t commit a violent crime. I expect she would be taken into custody, paperwork filed and then released into her parent’s care. That’s normally how it works for non-violent offenses especially for first time offenders.
If we were talking about shoplifting, sure. This case is more serious, however, and I’m not sure the same approach would be taken under the circumstances.
