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.
Your issue is that she’s still there? The article implies that this only happened yesterday, so she’s only been there for 1 day. That’s not unreasonable for a felony.
One day could be more than enough to traumatize a kid. She’s 11 and she played a very stupid prank likely because she didn’t understand the consequences due to being 11 years old. She doesn’t need to be put with 16-year-old violent offenders. Not even for a day.
My daughter is a very well-behaved kid, but she also has terrible anxiety. If, by some similar incident that she didn’t realize was so serious, she ended up in juvie for a day, she would end up with PTSD.
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.
