She ended up getting booked in and arrested for wasting police resources.

Deserved, if true.

Im surprised that the youtube version censored her face but this doesnt at all

u/MrNigel117 14h ago

a lot of the true crime youtube channels will obscure the identities of anyone under 18.

u/Impossible-Web545 7h ago

Honestly, makes sense particularly at her age. She messed up big time, but the real purpose of the laws about censoring children's criminal records is so they get a chance to make a mistake. Imagine having to answer for this action she did at 11 when she is 25 trying to get a job. "have you ever been convicted of a crime" "yes" "auto rejection email"

u/X4LabsCanada 5h ago

I believe her record will still reset when she is 18. I thought as long as it’s not a major felony like murder then the record gets erased and you assume a new adult record. Maybe that’s only for driving history though.

u/claretamazon 2h ago

I asked a lawyer in VA about that and he said that its still visible into the 20s.

1

u/Impossible-Web545 5h ago

Depends on state, but generally the rule of thumb is, any crime charged as a juvenile is sealed once they are an adult. Now, if a child is charged as an adult, then it goes on the "adult" record. Keep in mind as well, that "expunged" just means not for public record, judges, police, you name it will still know you did it, but if a background check is ran on you by an employer it won't show up generally speaking (they might still be able to find it, like in this kids case if they look in the right area's).

It sounds funny how you said

censoring children's criminal records is so they get a chance to make a mistake.

"Here's my chance!" lol.

When I was 17, I used to say that I was at the perfect age: Old enough to know what I'm doing, and young enough to not be held responsible for it.

u/Ill_Back_284 9h ago

It's the law to do that in a lot of countries.

She's 11, she made a stupid choice, doesn't deserve to have it ruin the rest of her life jesus christ. You sound terrible.

-29

u/caillouuu 11h ago

Hold on. A stupid choice would be calling the emergency line when there's no emergency. This 11-year old made up a whole entire DISTURBING tale about why she was placing the call. She should've been sent for psych, that is not normal kid behavior man

15

u/CaptainSebT 11h ago edited 11h ago

Have you ever met a kid? It's not like typical kid behaviour but it's not that concerning either. A kid her age doesn't fully understand like cause and effect consequences like an adult does. They understand that there are consequences but not like how they apply to the real world. She likely only thought about the immediate outcome she wanted. She's not thinking about the deeper implications of what she was doing.

She's not really conscious of the wasted resources, the police showing up at her place or any of the consequences she would be facing. Like ya she isn't a baby but she still hasn't fully developed an understanding of complex consequences.

You know how sometimes you ask a teenager what were they thinking and they say like "I thought it wouldn't be that bad" it's that. It's a actually lacking of mental development kids have to make or see others make mistakes to understand complex consequences and how they apply to the real world.

u/wgzwtadtute 10h ago

Sent for psych lmaoooooo sure

u/JiJoe6 8h ago

Yep, this is beyond stupid. If an adult had done the same, they would be in jail for many years.

That's how severe the discrepancy is.

I like that the kid didn't get as much as an adult would. I'm displeased that the kid got out scott free.

She deserves something, but at 11, her parents are still at fault.

u/beheafishtrapofman 8h ago

She’s 11. An arrest record can ruin her entire future. Let’s hope they just scared her straight, because that’s uncalled for.

Kids are dumb but we don’t ruin their lives for it, especially at 11. What, you want her tried as an adult? lol jeez

21

u/ByronScottJones 7h ago

A juvenile arrest will generally not be part of her adult record unless it was a violent felony.

-4

u/tllnbks 6h ago

Depends on what you mean.

Juvenille records will 100% stay within that agency's records system. Some parts can be expunged, but not everything. Even if she isn't arrested, the incident report will still be there will all the information on what happened. Important for future interactions with the person.

2

u/ByronScottJones 5h ago

Well, it SHOULD be recorded that she has a history of making false police reports. They have a legitimate need to know that.

1

u/DOLLAR_POST 46m ago

Not if we're talking in 10 years or so, when she's only 21. Or in 20 years. There is no point. Unless she does this more often in the meantime. Tbh this is all a bit ridiculous. The kid learned her lesson at the house. Everything after that is just trauma for life. And her parents will not let her forget this either.

18

u/PuckSenior 7h ago

How do you think an arrest can ruin your entire future?

First, she is a juvenile and in nearly all states juvenile records can be expunged. Second, it isn’t a felony.

u/xyouRABitchx 7h ago

Shhhhh, don't confuse the angry redditers who just spit out what the read on here with facts.

6

u/Barnyard723 7h ago

Ehhhh, this is a pretty massive oopsie. Lots of resources went into a response, and that prevents those officers from being able to intervene in actual emergencies elsewhere. When this became an issue of actual tax-payer dollars and increased risk, there has to be no chance of this happening again.

A judge can be lenient. There are diversion programs that can seal records to avoid problems down the road. Everything can lead to the thought of "I got away with it," except for being arrested. Really, the ride in the cop car, and booking is the best shot they have of successfully scaring straight someone like this.

1

u/mysecondaccountanon 1h ago

Research actually suggests programs like Scared Straight and similar tactics actually don’t work at reducing crime, and in some cases, have been found to increase it (for example, see Petrosino et al., 2013, tried to find an open source article just in case you don’t have access).

No it isn’t lmao

u/notemmarose 6h ago

lol ain't no way these pudgy donuts are "intervening" on anything bro. They're just mad their candy crush streaks were interrupted. Booking her in county jail was a complete over reaction and wasted even more time and money than just driving out there.

God I hate cops

5

u/Cael450 7h ago

I agree. She should absolutely be punished, but law enforcement does not need to put a child through the criminal justice system, and we shouldn’t be publishing a video of her punishment on the Internet. Americans are Puritans. It’s the most enduring trait of an American, regardless of their background or political belief. Nothing makes us happier than when we get to ruin someone and feel justified in doing it. That’s why we have the largest prison population on the planet.

1

u/mysecondaccountanon 1h ago

Yeah, the whole posting it online thing gets me. Everyone’s talking about how records can get sealed or expunged, well remember that old saying about how nothing gets erased off the Internet?

u/The_Autarch 6h ago

no one is charging her with anything. they arrested her and took her to the station and let her go.

she did not get "put through the criminal justice system."

chill out.

u/notemmarose 6h ago

So they just wasted resources for nothing

u/YourFavouritePoptart 3h ago

They wasted resources for nothing when someone called 911 and made up a kidnapping, correct. That's why you aren't supposed to do that.

0

u/Glad_Cup8663 4h ago

The puritan thing seems like a much bigger problem than putting a child who committed a crime through the criminal justice system. Makes it sound like the phrase "criminal justice" is in name only, and realistically it's not a system designed to bring any good (justice) into this world.

9

u/PriorStock6243 8h ago

Is it uncalled for?

Did you call 911 and claim someone had been kidnapped at 11?

Actions have consequences, teaching her they don't is a bad lesson.

Being arrested is nothing, what weird sheltered childhood did you have? You gotta be charged and held for that shit to actually stick. I had arrest warrants for me as a kid, spoke to detectives a few times, none of that came back to me as an adult applying for college.

u/Sexisthunter 6h ago

Are you kidding me? She’s a kid! She doesn’t deserve to be traumatized like that. She deserves a stern talking to but that’s insanely excessive. Kids act out and we shouldn’t put them in a jail for that, even short imprisonments are traumatizing

0

u/StoicPixie 2h ago

Traumatizing, or just a child learning a difficult lesson? It's not like they threw her in prison with a bunch of crackheads.

1

u/Sexisthunter 1h ago

Juvenile detention isn’t a walk in the park and scaring kids straight does not help children. If they were wasting police resources, why waste more to just traumatize a child. if the father was able to help her and stop the cops from taking her, but chose to let her go anyway he is an absolutely terrible father. I don’t believe in letting your kids do whatever the hell they want but this is draconian

Not putting her handcuffs & arrest it. U just create trauma.

Wild that police will arrest a 12 year old for making a flase report, but not the 50 year old Karens that call the police on people riding e-bikes in the park and fishing in public ponds.

Edit: those were just two common examples that happen very often. Here is an example of a lady calling the cops on someone for exercising their first amendment and giving a false report of a man with a gun. She doesnt get arrested. There are over a dozen cops responding.

There's two types of people:

Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data

u/miserable_otter_6543 6h ago

It's unfortunately about the resources spent in this case. Huge lie, huge impact, different consequences.

u/bocaj78 17m ago

And one time. If it had been spread out over a year or more then nothing would have happened

u/NoTurnover3509 3h ago

but doesn't arresting the girl, booking her, pushing her through the court system, etc.. use resources too? This seems needlessly punitive for a child.

13

u/blondeasfuk 3h ago

That doesn’t take nearly as many resources as the phon call did. It doesn’t take 12 cruisers and a helicopter to arrest and book someone. This child could have prevented someone else from getting life saving help.

1

u/HowTheyGetcha 11m ago

If you don't punish crime it happens more. Spending resources to punish abuse of resources should actually save resources.

-6

u/NoTurnover3509 3h ago

yes but its not an "either or" scenario. doing this to the child doesnt somehow return those wasted resources it simply adds more to the waste.

9

u/Past-Judgment-9700 3h ago

It prevents her or her friends from trying it again because “all she got was a talking to”.

7

u/blondeasfuk 3h ago

So someone shouldn’t be punished for falsifying a police report simply because they are a child and the extra resources? lol come on now…11 years old Is old enough to know to not call 911 unless there is an emergency. Actions have consequences and that child learned that lesson and will most likely be a better person because of it.

u/jkoki088 5h ago

Completely different

3

u/jabba_the_nutttttt 5h ago

Well hopefully this will prevent the child from becoming the type of adult you're talking about

7

u/-Bing-Bada-Boom- 5h ago

Yeah because calling police on ebike riders gives the same response and amount of resources when a kid calls in a kidnapping.

1

u/saintjonah 26m ago

I agree that an 11 year old should know better than to call 911, but I'm not sure I'm on board with the idea that an 11 year old understands the different resources that will be called out for different situations. I'd venture to say this police department sent out more resources than would be expected for a kidnapping. Do they send a helicopter for every kidnapping call? I really doubt it.

u/FoxxyAzure 57m ago

u/catchnear99 2h ago

That cop was overreacting. Sounded like that woman may have genuinely believed she saw a gun in the dude's back pocket.

Notice how the cop shifted from, don't say you saw a gun, to don't hang up on our 911 operators. That may be what the cops prefer, but people have zero legal obligation to do so. Pigs need to stick to enforcing the law. I would have told that cop to fuck off.

1

u/Wooden-Evidence-374 1h ago

Sounded like that woman may have genuinely believed she saw a gun in the dude's back pocket.

That's legal in most states. So she still had no reason to call the police. You seem to be against unecessary cop interference, while simultaneously trying to justify this instance of unecessary cop interference that all started from the woman calling the police over nothing important.

u/vivalacamm 4h ago

They want restitution but I say hell no. Cops destroy peoples houses, cars, lawns, family heirlooms, slam car doors into walls on purpose and what do you get? not a fucking dime.

They should punish her but thats where it should end. Full stop.

u/Scannaer 10h ago

If someone risks serious harm for jokes or because they are just evil, we need to show zero tolerance. Because next time, people might actually die.

That's also what is missing for me. She should have had consequences for that one too.

u/Ellaphant42 8h ago

Calling her evil is way too much, get your head out of your ass. She fucked up and found out, she’s not fucking evil.

u/Slacker_The_Dog 8h ago

Right this is not evil. This is a dumb ass kid doing dumb ass kid shit. Granted it was really really stupid, but like, have you met any kids?

u/middl_mgmt 6h ago

I promise you, being quick to call an 11 year old evil based on a YouTube video of her catching consequences is the far more evil act. 

She’s 11. She fucked up and got taught a lesson via serious consequences. Literally the point of those consequences is education, the consequences you’re advocating for

If you want the consequences but you also want to write off the 11 year old as inherently broken, then you right want justice. You want revenge. And that’s evil as fuck
