  1. Let the parents be financially responsible for their child's prank.

  2. That kid threw her ownself under the bus by learning the stupid way that you should never play jokes on 911.

  3. That kid was very stupid to do something so stupid.

  4. This seems directly influenced by the Carlee Russell story. I hope there wont be more stupid pranks like this.

  5. Community service is a MUST in these kinda situations involving minors…total the dollar amount of resources used & multiply it by 3.

  6. The kid probably has adhd. No moral compass.

  7. Parents better have given her a good spanking.

  8. Parents should be held financially responsible for all the costs of her misuse of 911

  9. Sometimes I'm really glad I never had kids.

  10. She may have seen a baby on the highway too 😢did she forget to add that in her prank 😢

  11. Common sense has left the bldg.

  12. Make her pick up trash and roadkill on the street. That'll learn her.

  13. This is why 11 year olds should not have cell phones. Tell them to go play outside.

  14. No one has done a thing to Carly why her?

  15. Wow only $550 for the helicopter for 30 minutes? I was expecting the "government cost" where they'd say it cost $25k to get it off the tarmac

  16. She has the complexion for the protection. They will scare her and let it go

  17. I guess you & Carlee can be friends. Good luck

  18. Oh so she didn't claim to be inducted off the highway after trying to rescue a toddler so she gets arrested, oh and she looks white the one on the highway was not….

  19. Is that gonna stay on her record. I wish they would’ve said

  20. Let her do community service somewhere to help her understand the seriousness of her Prank.

  21. Stay classy, humanity. 🤢

  22. Throw her in the juvie slammer for a few years.
    She does the time during the summer breaks, long weekends, Christmas, Easter, and spring breaks

  23. Charge her! Do not let this go unpunished

  24. People really gone mad.

  25. The "Carlee Russel'' factor! It is true, you know, that ''children live what they learn''.😪

  26. I say bill the parents…..& let them decide after that…because "if the price should be based on the cops" estimation then she should pay price…..

  27. Take every tax return she will ever get until the resources are repaid.

  28. Comes down to the mom and dad at home let them pay for it all.

  29. "They're still working out the final costs and whether her parents will finally have to pay that."

    There goes the College fund… 🙄😒

  30. SMH JC she is a child. Cops never seem to be very helpful in any situation.

  31. Aaawww they calling it a prank, and I hear tough love, this normally doesn’t apply to melanated children
