An 11-year-old girl in Florida who texted 911 operators to report that an armed man had kidnapped her friend was arrested Wednesday and charged with falsely reporting a crime, authorities said.
The child, who lives in Port Orange near Daytona Beach in east-central Florida, had called 911 to report that her 14-year-old friend had been taken by an armed kidnapper driving a white van, said Volusia County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Laura Williams.

every single choice ANY of us makes DOES follow us the rest of our lives bc it effects/affects the rest of our lives. not to mention the affects on others as well.
curious where she got the idea.
honestly thought I'd hear 'tik tok' somewhere.
That girl could be scared and traumatized and shouldn't get in handcuffs, agreed, she is a kid police man, jail is not for kids!
Also I wanted to know what store she got that pretty hibiscus shirt on, anybody have the exact same shirt as hers, also what brand is that shirt?
Carlee Russell never got cuffed.
Kids never learn sometimes the cops did the right thing the world will teach your kids if you don’t
First question is:
Who was harmed ?
What does the cop means “this is not something you will carry with you for the rest of your life.” She got a felony at 11yo.
Another reason we'll all be sad when Florida, America's dangly thingy breaks off & falls into sea. Seriously, FLA, WTF?😵😵😵
Yet we have a former president who still hasn't been in cuffs and he lied about election fraud.
They could have handled this kid another way.
Back the blue till it happens to you.
This kid should be peacefully protesting and identifying gender dysphoria llike a normal American kid does.
She should have just gotten an illegal weapon. She could plea it away
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Should there be consequences for this 100% But a Felony for a 11 year old REALLY! We were all stupid when we were young. Yes she did a dumb thing but she shouldn't have to pay for that mistake the rest of her life. Justice give me a break.
What the hell !! Can someone call Hoover PD so they can arrest Carlee Russell.
Damm
Karen's come in all ages.
Let's hope this wasn't a test run for when she's older, perish the thought.
carliee must be her idol
Good for them. She needs to learn it’s a crime to file a false police report. This takes away time money and resources away from real kidnapped children and victims. Learn now
I can see she is having so much fun with her prank right now. I didn't hear the laughs thouh
She's a future Karen.
That is definitely NOT a funny prank
Those idiotic cops handcuffed a 11 year old kid. Shes a kid. Kids act on emotions, not logic. Better ways to handle it without bully her
Ridiculous. Arresting that girl is idiotic. Kids do stuff like that without thinking about the consequences. Just call her parents and she'll be put on restriction or something.
I hope Carlee Russell gets the same treatment.
“This is not going to follow you for the rest of your life.” So which is it? Is she or isn’t she getting a felony charge?
I mean I get it, she’s a kid and did a dumb kid thing. This shouldn’t be on her permanent record. At the same time, good job to law enforcement for scaring her straight. 😅
What about carlee when is she gonna get arrested 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
She’s a minor😂
What happens to the video of the guy that got hit by taser by cops and killed on road?. Video shows then when clicked it turns private?. It’s a sad story but want to know.
