The boy who cried wolf is unironically one of the most important and best stories to tell people, especially kids. All of this could have been prevented if she just took that story to heart.
@@julidee_he’s not wrong, if anything he didn’t insult the OP. This comment was just stupid. Has anyone ever seen the video of the guy calling the cops over how “he shoved chopsticks up his ass”? That’s an old video. People do dumb shit all the time. This isn’t new especially in terms of the internet.
I accidentally dialed a police department's call center when I was like 9 or 10 years old. It wasn't 911 but a full seven digit number that was _one_ number off from my classmate that I was calling to ask about homework. It was a genuine misdial and I was terrified as I profusely apologized and tried to convince the dispatcher that there wasn't an emergency and that I didn't intend to call the police. The poor dispatcher didn't believe me and assumed I was in some kind of hostage situation so I ended up telling her what happened and read off the phone number I intended to dial and the name of the person I was intending to call. The dispatcher eventually relented and said that they would get off the line with me and call back in five minutes and if there was still no emergency to report that they would leave it at that. They did, and it was the most nerve wracking series of phone calls I've ever had in my life. I felt terrible and couldn't apologize enough for what happened. They were very understanding and thankfully I didn't get into trouble for the honest mistake. 😵💫
Usually those are non-emergency lines for the public to call with something that isn't serious. Sounds like they just wanted to put you through the ringer
@@zzzzzzzzzz_meI know that at my job (999 call taker for the ambulance service), if someone calls, for example, the receptionist phoned number, or recruitment, any 'business' number and it's outside of business hours, those calls come through to us emergency call handlers in the same way that an emergency call would. I think it's a safety net for people trying to call on a non emergency line in an emergency, because people do.
Many years ago when I was young and dumb I tried to program 911 into a speed dial button on the phone. Unfortunately it dialed instead of saving and I got a new butthole over the phone.
On the positive side, I was able to use the image of an 11-year old girl in handcuffs to impress upon my own daughter just how bad an idea it is to blindly attempt social media challenges. I can't communicate the level of relief I felt when I explained to her why the girl was in handcuffs and the only response my daughter could muster was "that's so stupid!" Yes, yes it is, good on you kiddo.
This. People are going to do stupid things for as long as people exist. The best we can do is make examples of these stupid actions to minimize the spread of stupid.
@@dalpaengi 18 years is very exagerated, even school allowing internet. Social media and influencer are the problem. All those things didn’t exist on internet back then. I have a computer since i was 11 years and i’m now 27 years old, did i ever made something similar to this girl, no. Don’t allowing kid until +18 don’t help them, they just need parent watching what they watch and what they do with it. Kids can learns about stuff, discover a passion or play educational game on internet
I was taught as a kid that 911 is an essential number to know and one to absolutely never mess around with. I’ve used it twice in my life, both as an adult, and both times had to work up the nerve to actually call bc it felt wrong lol. I can’t imagine prank calling it.
Right? I had to call 911 about 3 years ago cuz my female neighbor ran out of their apartment saying her husband was lighting the bathroom upstairs on fire. They were both high on meth and he set the bathroom trash on fire, but it wasn't even a huge fire. But I was terrified, especially considering their apt was linked with ours, and I didn't want ours to catch on fire. But, I felt so wrong for calling 911 lol I have major phone anxiety anyway, so it was especially nerve wracking to make that call.
I never knew you could text 911. I'm glad I watched this video just for that. I can just see that being super useful, say if the killer is in the house and you're trying to be quiet and hiding in the closet. Good to know. Good to know.
I found out after I butt dialed 911. They texted me asking if there was an emergency, I said it was an accident and apologized. They never responded. I don’t remember if they tried to call first or if they just texted.
There is a true story about a kidnapping victim who told her kidnapper that she would order him a pizza if he was hungry. He agreed but was too stupid to have her put it on speaker. The 911 dispatcher caught on very quickly and a plain clothes cop actually delivered a pizza... and handcuffs.
I texted 911 from my hotel once. The people in the next room were fighting and it was loud. I was afraid to make the call and take a chance that they heard me- I didn't want to put my child in any danger. I took a chance and tried texting and it worked, thank the gods.
@@ComancheWarrior63That is hysterical, obv not the kidnapping part but the fact that the officer just showed up with a pizza and handcuffs like i just imagine he must've said something like "Is this your pepperoni with a side of justice?" Before handcuffing him
Pranking has went from "there's something on your shirt" to people playing bomb countdowns in libraries. It's honestly so sad, and to see people think that's something worth replicating is even worse.
When my daughter was 1 I accidentally locked my doors with her inside. In a black car, in the middle of July in TN, with no shade around, on a Sunday. I immediately panicked & started screaming for help. Everyone was scared of busting the windows & spraying shards of glass all over her. So i called 911 for help. They put me on the phone with a cop & all he told me was, "I cant respond to that. Call a locksmith." (On a sunday? Yeah, I woulda been waiting for hours.) So I tried to tell him, "ok I will figure out how to get her out but can someone still come out to make sure she's ok from the heat??" But he just told me, "sure, if you think she needs medical attention AFTER you get her out, just call us back." Then just a few weeks later, a nephew called 911 & hung up as a "prank." And ya know what happened? TWO cop cars showed up within minutes to "scare them and teach a good lesson." It just blows my mind the way they seem to be allowed to pick and choose. I still bump into that cop in public from time to time and I never fail to remind him of how much I think he sucks, lol. And needless to say, a wonderful neighbor ran to help me. We were able to get her out unharmed, just scared and drenched in sweat.
In England the police wouldn’t come out for that either and most people wouldn’t expect them to, we’d call our recovery service AA, RAC, something like that. We’d also take them to the hospital once out of the car, if they needed it, or if an emergency call an ambulance. I would imagine that the reason the police turned up to your nephews silent prank call was incase they were in danger and unable to talk, they would do that in the UK too after trying to call back and getting no answer. I doubt they’d turn up just to scare him, although he clearly needed teaching a lesson.
@@stellakittycat9356but the UK doesn’t really get as hot as Tennessee in the middle of July while in direct sunlight. The average temps are 90 degrees Fahrenheit, so about 32.2 Celsius. And inside the car, temperatures can easily reach 120 f (48.9 c) in minutes. If she hadn’t managed to get her out quickly, it’s very likely ambulances might have been needed. AAA isn’t super reliable in certain areas and can take hours so a cop to open a door is also sometimes necessary. I’ve seen cops show up for dogs and children in cars before, it’s part of their jobs.
@@HyperWolf and the person said no one wanted to break the car window which is what the police usually do. I’m sure if she’d explained to a locksmith her concerns they would have treated it as an emergency call. In England we have 2 keys for our vehicles, I carry one and my husband the other, or it would be at home, so I’d have got him to bring his key. Clearly she had other options as she said a neighbour helped so not as “life threatening” as she’s trying to imply, sounds like she was home, so grab the other key. Personally I’d have smashed the window furthest from the baby, a front window on the opposite site of the vehicle. To blame the police because she didn’t want her window broken or to pay for a locksmith is very unfair. I’m sure a local garage could have helped.
@@stellakittycat9356 Cops here have shown up before for dogs stuck in cars and they just stick a metal bar into the side and jiggle it and it pops open. I’ve seen it used so often that I assume most carry that. We also have the 2 keys and it’s definitely common for the spouse to take the 2nd key so they can deliver it to you if needed. The main issue is it’s the US. It’s huge. It’s common for people to work an hour’s drive away from home. Imagine waiting even 10 minutes for the spouse to drive there with the extra key. That could be death for the child. My neighbor is a locksmith. He turns his work phone off when he’s not working. I don’t know if that’s common practice though. So I can’t argue this one. I would have broken a front window but I’m mainly concerned that they wouldn’t send medics right away. Like I said, cars can reach 120f and higher. Death can occur in less than 30 minutes in a hot car. And it takes just minutes for there to be some kind of harm to a child since they don’t regulate internal temperatures well before 3. A parent can be relieved that the child seems fine and then there can be adverse consequences from heat/dehydration that aren’t apparent right away. A check up is recommended. And honestly, I had a panic attack once and they sent me an ambulance “just in case” even though I’d told them I was ok and that my mom’s friend had just freaked out. This seems like a more important scenario to check on just in case.
I only prank called someone once in my life. Me and my friend were stupid 11 year olds and thought it would be a good idea to prank call McDonalds and pretend to be a senile old man trying to order Burger King. The employee immediately (obviously) caught on and scolded us, threatening to call the FBI and have them track down our address. We were scared shitless and she made us apologize to her 😂 Now that I'm older I realize she was lying but it was effective in teaching us to never do stuff like what happened in the video. Thank you McDonald's employee
Me n my friends once called a grown man selling pokémon cards online, stoned outta our minds hating on his hustle. Pissed him off enough to call back lol, dad was not pleased
I called 911 as a kid and immediately hung up once someone actually answered, obviously they drove to my house, my grandma was watching me at the time and she let the officer come in, I was like 8 and the officer told me that he came here to check on me which could’ve taken up a spot to go and check up on someone who actually needed their help, I felt really bad and said I didn’t think it would actually go through on the phone for some reason, apologized and then he left after saying some stuff to my grandma idk what it was, my grandma however smacked me upside the head after he left and said I could’ve been the reason someone died, definitely feel bad to this day.
Police always pull that card for a quilt trip. It's nonsense. They don't even show up on time when you actually do need them. Not that mention if they really had an issue that was life or death that would get priority over your call
When I was a child I was tricked by an adult and a lot of bad things happened. I was a 13 year old kid who did not know better at 13. Not knowing better, never being taught stranger danger. This situation makes me think of that for some reason even though they are nothing a like. I think its because I know that if children cannot consent then they are also not intelligent enough to think of consequences on their own. In a way the child is also a victim cause she was tricked by RU-vid videos created by adults into thinking that committing such a "prank" would be okay. Charging her with a felony and w/e else isn't a lesson, Its a way to ruin her life and it makes me sick that so many people in this comment section are okay with that. Please remember that our brains don't fully mature till our mid to late 20s so what does that say about an 11 year old? This is just heart breaking if she actually does get charged.
There's a reason why people have already forgotten the name of Darrell Brooks before it was ever mentioned. Deranged, racist, ideologue. The only people who know the name are those that followed the trial. Those who don't might have heard of the guy who murdered 6 people with a vehicle during a Waukesha Christmas Parade. However, it was probably represented as an "out of control SUV" in the media at the time...
funny enough when i was growing up in the 90s and 2000s(born 89), it was always hammered into me and many others that pranking 911 was one of the worst things you can do. Now obviously we prank called from payphones and stuff, BUT we never fucked with 911.
I had an argument with an old friend in high school about the origins of chocolate milk. she was convinced they came from brown cows and got angry with me when I tried to explain it to her. I am no longer friends with her and considering she’s a mother now I sincerely hope that did not continue.
She was probably surprised when she began to lactate herself and started asking questions; likely stupid ones like "Am I a cow?" "Do we drink people milk in the stores?" and other things you received answers to ages ago. And she probably still thinks chocolate milk comes from brown cows in the back of the grocery store.
I was like "that's kinda extreme" until a reread it and realized you said highschool... I just assumed this happened in elementary or smth 💀 Hopefully she's more educated now lmao
They charged a child with a felony who could legitimately not understand the gravity of what she did. If this grown ass woman doesn't get some charges, I'm gonna be pissed
I'm sorry but 11 is definitely old enough to know better than to spend half an hour wasting police time. Not saying a felony isn't extreme, but they won't actually convict her, and maybe she won't be a complete idiot in future
@@BiIIyBearHam my brother in Christ she is 11 I don’t think she understands the FULL gravity of the situation, if she really completely understood how bad this was I don’t think she would’ve ever done it.
you reminded me of this when you brought up the second story my mom never runs over boxes in the road and will hard swerve to miss them because when she was living in Oklahoma there was a news story about some lady that left her baby in a box in the middle of the road because she didn't want it
Ross creations newer content is the PERFECT way to continue pranks, gluing a pickle jar shut and asking strangers to open it is 10x funnier than telling the cops your friend was kidnapped, no staged videos, no violent or dangerous activities, just good comedy that can make anybody laugh, even the people being pranked
This "evolution" of pranks always weirds me the hell out because how did it went from simple, innocent pranks to fucking faking a kidnapping and all of this dumb shit
I know a big issue is that most parents don't spend enough time on youtube to understand what is on it. I spend a lot of time on it, my wife doesn't. So I can walk into a room here a sound effect or song and know exactly what my kids are watching. And when they get caught watching something inappropriate I take away their tablets.
My dad told my brother and I at age 7 and 5 that if we ever got arrested for anything we would need to figure it out ourselves from then on. We mess up, we fix it.
I feel like at 11 years old, the scare of having police show up and getting arrested will be a good lesson. I don't think she should be punished any more than that though, she's still very young and shouldn't actually have her life ruined for being a stupid kid.
100% agree. Charging her does no good for anyone, not the police, the girl, or the parents. She clearly learned her lesson here and no one was hurt, charging her would be a huge waste of more peoples time.
She should be made to do some form of penance...community service work perhaps. An hour of scared sh!tless, followed by laughing about it with her friends is not sufficient.
Then I don't think you understand the gravity of the situation. A felony and misdemeanor charge is absolutely warrented in this scenario. She wasted police resources and could have easily put innocent lives in danger. That's not a learning lesson, that's a crime and it should be dealt as such regardless of age, race, and gender.
As a kid, when landlines were still a common thing, I accidentally dialed 911 when trying to dial my dad's 914 area code. I hung up immediately. They called back and I had to try and explain in my best scared-child gibberish that it was an accident. They still sent an extremely annoyed officer that I had to wake my mom up to talk to lol. The experience still haunts me to this day.
reminds me of when my brother was playing with the phone and dialing random numbers, eventually the cops showed up because he ended up dialing 911. parents had to explain why a 2 year old called the cops
This happened with another kid in my class while in school. He had to call his parents to bring hw he left home, put in the start of our area code (similar to yours but the 3rd number is different) and accidentally put in another 1. Just an annoyed cop but could have been much worse since it was at school.
that is so weird in my country its a good thing my old friend when he was a kid he called 000 and his mum was terrified but they said its a good thing, cos if the kid is the only person there to call they know what to call! witch is extra important when kids assume urs 911 cos of media. im sorry you where literally just a kid and it could of saved you one day the fact you knew the number, they shouldn't scare kids into not calling it one day they might hesitate
I've done the same thing. I got a land-line phone as birthday gift (it was purple with glitter I loved it) and to test it out the only phone number I remembered was 911. Lo and behold it rang, I cut the call 2 rings in and soon 2 cops came and wanted to talk to me personally to see if I was okay.
Wow. Nowadays the police wouldn’t be bother to turn up . If you hang up that means you are not interested in pursue the call. I did this a few weeks ago when I was to report a break in my business. I changed my mind because the theft it was only the till float and have no cctv recording . I knew it was pointless because the police even with footage they do nothing to thief’s in the Uk. ☹️
I’m really happy i found this channel. It popped up on my feed a few weeks ago & I’m hooked. I live a VERY stressful life…. His calm voice and comedy lets me escape while I listen. I Genuinely thank you for that ❤
She thought she couldn't get in trouble for it. Reminds me of a recent video I saw where a bunch of teens told a cop they couldn't be ticketed by him because they were minors. Raising kids, not raising them, to think they're exempt from rules and laws just causes so many problems.
I don't think it's that she thought she was exempt from the rules. I think she genuinely watched a video that she didn't know was fake where the 'cops' laughed the prank off, and thought she was going to get the same response. The issue is that kids often can't differentiate content from reality, especially when content is being presented as if it is reality. When you show a kid a video of someone pranking the cops and the cops being cool with it, the kids are going to think they can do it too and get the same response We aren't talking about spoiled brats who think rules don't apply to them, we are talking about kids with no supervision over what they watch online and no one to correct them when they see something that plants a false view of how the world works into their minds
@@windwaker407 Yeah, it shows a lot of these people haven't watched prank content that they think she thought she'd 'get away' with something. She thought it'd be funny and that the cops would also think it was funny, because staging the whole thing and having the actors laugh it off at the end is how they avoid enraging their audience and ending up in trouble with the internet for mean-spirited pranks.
Who would've ever thought a 11 year old child could've pulled off such a stupid prank without any consequences....Oh wait she suffer serious consequences. Never mind.
@@federruchi6147 It's always for other people, of course. When they fall afoul of their own draconic rules and laws they're shocked when they end up in prison over something they think is minor. It's always 'a good lesson' to other people, but when it's them it's 'I never thought _I'd_ be the one in prison'.
I love how the news always calls it a challenge when it’s obviously not? Like no one is challenging others to fake a kidnapping and report it to the police.
The challenge refers to the people in the video doing the challenge. Like the cinnamon or milk challenge. They "take up" the challenge that's going around verses challenging other people to do it. That's always the format with stupid challenges like this because if they're real, they're meant to be dangerous, and if they're fake, then they're too dangerous and not worth it to even do for "content." They're avoiding liability if people really try these things for themselves. Only the innocent ones tell other people to do it like the "draw in your own style." But they're still challenges. They just can't be blamed if someone else is too stupid to do it and causes damage or death like many already have.
It started with the mannequin challenge, which was an actual challenge. Then there was the ice bucket challenge, I think? And at some point it went from actual things that are challenging to “Hey there’s a new trend!”
Back when I was 4 or 5, I wanted to play a prank on my dad. It was one I saw in a cartoon, where the bucket of water is balanced above a door and falls on the person who opens it. Only I knew I’d likely get in trouble for making a mess with water in the house and I thought a bucket hitting someone in the head might hurt. So instead I used my stuffed animals, because they wouldn’t hurt and I thought being surprised with a rain of stuffed animals would be something nice to get surprised by. Basically what I’m saying is even as a post-toddler I knew things on tv weren’t always a good thing to copy in real life, and that pranks shouldn’t be mean.
I've said this before but I wanna say it again. I absolutely love when you spout such vile sarcasm and NEVER say "only kidding" or in any way admit that it is sarcasm.. LOVE your sense of humor. It reminds me of someone else's sense of humor.
I called 911 once and hung up immediately. Cops showed up and gave the entire speech about how it isn't a joke to call them unless there's an emergency. I felt so bad. I have such a huge conscious and i feel bad about the tiniest stuff, so this had me shook up lmao
A 911 hangup is a way to automatically get the police there. They have to rule out the possibility that the caller was not forced to hang up or that the criminal (or abuser in domestic violence) did not take the phone away and hang it up.
@@Enki1013In the UK here; had my phone do the emergency call thing here by mistake once. They called back, asked where I am, if I was definitely okay, took some contact details and disconnected.
When I was like 7 years old I remember 999 (I'm from England) being this number you always hear about, but my stupid child mind was like "that's not real though, right? there's not enough numbers... I'm just gonna quickly check" I called 999, heard the "what is your emergency?" thing, and hung up, they called back and my parents answered it, I got a lecture x_x
If your kid is old enough to use a phone it’s probably a good idea to tell them about the dangers of making prank calls that are malicious (fake emergencies/fake threats). Like if you’re gonna give your young kid free range with a cell phone you should sort of expect stuff like this to happen especially if you’ve never told them the consequences of messaging the police department about a fake crime.
my elementary school had a day where a firefighter came in and explained to everyone how calling 911 works and what situations its appropriate for. he made it clear in no uncertain terms that calling 911 for silly or made-up reasons is a crime. i'm not sure if all schools do that but it seems that they should lol
When they said she faked a kidnapping I thought she just went "my friend got kidnapped oh no help!" and then said it was a joke i didnt expect her to fabricate a full on kidnapping lmao
Seriously, I thought she made one little phone call to 911. But this little psycho went on and on for 30 minutes with a play by play through text messages. I'm still just wondering what she was gonna text to say it was all just a prank.
@@jenniferb.awesomehonestly makes me glad texting 911 didn't exist when I was a kid. It definitely does not feel as real as calling someone, and I see how she could do that.
I’m sincerely scared for the kids because they’re essentially being taught that it’s okay to do borderline sociopathic pranks on their friends, family and/or strangers because it’s “funny.” They don’t know that this isn’t acceptable and their actions _will_ have consequences. But what makes me mad is the parents that clearly cannot teach their kids how to properly act. Obviously kids are dumb and are gonna do something that they’ll regret later on, but parents do have a responsibility too.
I get so sick of these social media "pranksters" who, when they are finally held accountable for their behavior resort to "But it was only a prank" as their excuse.
It should be a part of RU-vid's policy for fake content encouraging malicious acts like this requiring a disclaimer that you should not do this at home and it's all staged.
@@SkylerLoveheart I don't think it was well deserved unless their parents taught them that calling 911 is only for emergencies. Kids are naive which is why it's the job of the parents to teach them about everything.
My brother and I decided to be stupid and use my grandma's rotary phone to prank call the operator back in the early 2000s. For current kids who don't know, they were used to help you call numbers that you needed in case you didn't have a phone book. Well, we said "poop" or "stupid" and hung up and got away with it two times, until it was my turn again and the operator told me she could send the police to my door if I don't knock it off. I apologized and hung up and we never did that crap again. Thankfully the police never came by. We'd have some explaining to do to my grandma and she would NOT have been happy-
@@autumnfrost-art I would tell you but YT would cens... 'protect' you from my comment but safe to say it's got absolutely NOTHING to do with waythism... honest.
@@Haburgthats an excellent point. It really grinds my gears how some people seem to completely forget what country they live in when theyre on the internet, trying to rile people up and make everyone mad to feed off of each other when they see an act or penalty they feel is unjust compared to a similar situation. Different states have different laws and something may be legal in one state but illegal in another or possibly the maximum penalty is just not the same.
@@notthatnut3026 it's like half Europeans who don't understand how large the US is, if you can drive from one end of your country to the other in an afternoon stop speaking about us politics.
I believe the chief said they charged her with as much as legally possible. I think they're also suing her for the cost of all the resources they spent on looking for her.
One of the big lies humans like to tell themselves is that they would never be as dumb as someone who ends up in the headlines. There were kids her age, her peers, who learned about this and immediately understood how obviously bad of an idea it would be to lie to actual emergency services. And those kids sat around laughing at this one as though they would NEVER be that dumb. Anyone remember the kids who threw stuff off a highway overpass and killed someone?
I remember being around 9 or 10 in the mid 2000s with my younger brother. The church we went to was inside a local community college and it still had pay phones on the premises. We were there one Saturday afternoon while our dad had music practice with the other musicians while me and my brother just kinda wandered around and had harmless fun. At least until I saw a pay phone. Neither of us had money, but didn't think the 911 call would actually work (being a dumbass kid). When someone answered, both of us panicked, hung up the phone and ran away. After some time, an officer came by and we got in trouble for falsely dialing 911. As for my punishment (aside from being absolutely grilled by dad at home), I had to hand write a letter of apology to both the dispatcher and officer that came out. I then had to deliver it to both in person. I learned real quick to not fuck around and find out with anything 911 related.
As a kid I once dialed 911 on a landline phone at church and hung up immediately. Cops arrived, I was instantly traumatized. Kids really learn things the hard way, no matter the generation
Similar-ish story lol. I was probably 5 or 6, and my mom found a bat in the attic, so she started screaming (she's VERY scared of them), and so I called 911 - but then hung up immediately. Cops come knocking on our door about 5 minutes later and my mom had to explain the situation 😂
I once dialed 999 by accident, messing around when i had just gotten my first smartphone dialing random numbers, Still not entirely sure how i managed it but perhaps it started with 999 and the phone just sees that and forgets the other numbers. I was in the car at the time and as soon as i heard "emergency services ho-" i hung up. I freaked out but said nothing and nothing ever game from it thankfully
Well, it's an 11-year-old girl, so of course she's mindless. Thing is, she's only 11. As much as many people are going to disagree with me on this, I genuinely hope that she's still able to have a future, go to college or a trade school if she wants to, and get a decent, well-paying job as an adult.
As a kid, sometimes the question you ask yourself isn’t always, “should I do this” but rather, “can I do this?” However, as a kid, this applied to me throwing rocks on my neighbors roof and not making fake 911 calls.
my dad gave me advice that if i ever got lost to the point where it’s impossible to find my house i should throw a rock through a window so the police can drive me home😂
To be honest both of those self-question are good. -Should i do this; probably not, the consequence probably outweight the 'haha funny' -can i do this; physically yes but technically by law no (referring to your throwing rocks... lol)
When i was about 7 i was in a shopping centre with my parents. We went into a bathroom display shop where there were sea shells in a small bowl on a bath. I took a handful of them, immediately regretted it, and as we came out there was police just chilling talking to people, i told my parents straight away id stolen these sea shells, and was shook to my lil core, tears and everything, convinced my parents were gonna rat me out and id be put in the slammer. Seashells bro.
@@dorkydragon5055 what the shells were for? They were just there to look nice by the bath in the display, or do you mean for me? Because to this day I have no idea, I have never needed shells, nor have I ever been super fascinated by them. I think I just saw them and thought they looked nice and thought I could get away with it. And I could have if I didn't have a little breakdown
This reminds me of when I was around 7 or 8, I was playing with stuffed animals. I voiced them in my head because I was scared to be too loud, and I had dialed 911 and hung up immediately after (because I was playing) and I was silent not saying a word. Eventually the police knock on the door and my mom yells out for me. My mom was so pissed. So you should teach your kids ONLY to dial the police in an emergency, especially if you're giving your kid their own electronic capable of making phone calls.
and when people try to tell me these youtube videos or shows or any form of media don't mean anything, i will now simply point towards the extremely influential children like this one.
They really need to find a way to shut down these types of challenges. One prank 911 calls can take away life services from someone who really needs. I remember once upon a time, people would get arrested for misuse of 911. They need to go back to doing that.
That's not how that works. If someone calls 911 reporting something like a kidnapping or a bomb threat it is taken seriously every time, which is why faking things like that are a felony. 911 operators don't get to say "Meh, sounds like a prank." and hang up.
It's very unlikely she'll have her life ruined by this at age 11. I would predict she'll most likely be offered a plea that includes expunging this record if a couple conditions are met, such as a stay out of trouble order (don't commit another crime for a period of time) and community service, which is fair. It's not fair to have an 11-year-old have to carry a felony conviction when she just thought a dumb prank was funny and meant no true harm.
Since that black woman is 25 and was charged with two misdemeanours your "justice" system is pretty fucked up if an 11 year old get a felony conviction.
Exactly this. People really don't understand that she meant no harm and she had no idea that what she did was wrong. They're being way too hard with her
it's interesting that as soon as someone takes the police department's attention with a prank call or something, everyone is up in arms and saying that they can't do their jobs if you do shit like that. But then any other time people will say that all cops are pigs and that they're all corrupt and that they aren't doing their jobs. Obviously I would never condone calling an emergency line for any other reason than an emergency, I'm just pointing out that it seems like people just want to attack whoever they can for no reason.
Ah yes we are in a time where people ignored the teachings of “crying wolf” or whatever it’s called. Seriously as a kid that was ingrained to me to never ever fake something serious.
I remember as a child when the worst possible thing I could do as a child was tell a lie. My parents really hit that hard. Always tell the truth. Do parents not do this anymore?
9:03 when I was REALLY little, I called 911 because I stubbed my toe and needed medical assistance apparently. Always have been dramatic I guess. I was too young to understand the difference between a bad enough event for 911 and a minor injury lol but thankfully my grandpa worked as a police officer so there was no harm done. Never did it again thankfully. 😭😂
Got rid of Twitter because of it. I hated seeing the "X" in my notifications because it keeps making me think there's an error on my phone. I wasn't really using Twitter anymore anyways, this is just the last straw that convinced me to finally cut the line.
I have mixed emotions about the felony charge on an 11 year old. It was not like she dialed 911 and shouted "You suck" before hanging up and laughing. She went into a text frenzy that went on for thirty minutes until she got traced down. How long she would have let this go on left to her own piss poor judgement is anybody's guess. I don't blame the father for being furious about it. Then again, she is an 11 year old who has access to social media platforms that have made even adults get toxic-stupid. If anything, it is possible the records could be sealed and even expunged.
I always wanted to dial the number with a voice changer and scream a bunch of insults and obscenities and hang up. It's a dumbass idea but I still think about it.
The misuse of 911 charge will probably not hold up. It’s extremely difficult to get, you have to basically have a law enforcement officer with eyes on the person as they dial or text 911 for incorrect reasons in order for it to hold up in court.
@@Clickwrapbiggest problem is, i don't know how these laws work with minors (esp under 13) but kids are naive and will admit almost immediately. Again, I don't know if that can stand in court. Regardless, I doubt any judge would charge an 11 year old for something that small
I feel like an 11 year old should only get a felony if the crime is something like murder or rape or something where the child is an active harm to society. I doubt this girl is any real danger to society. If she does it again after this maybe the felony charge would make sense, but I don't think it's appropriate for just doing a stupid thing once.
I have once did this before. When I was 2-4 years old, I saw my father in the table swearing and arguing with someone on the phone. So I decided to do what he did. So in the morning, when my father was at work and my mother was cooking, I went to my mother's purse and pulled out her phone. I then went to my room to dial 911 to say "suck it" over and over again. Then the operator said they would bring officers to pull up to my house to arrest me. Then, I realized the shit I was in, then started crying and saying sorry. An officer pulled up, went to my door, then knocked. My mom answered it and the officer decided to not do anything to us. Didn't even give us a ticket. So then, I learned to not call 911 for arguing.
Making a serious crime offense a challenge after we just had one of the most biggest kidnapping investigation hoaxes is the most deplorable thing I've seen all month.
@@floppycockjamboozle5382 Woman said she saw a toddler by the side of the highway in the south somewhere, then her phone goes dead while she's on the phone with her sister. Bystander even corroborates a kidnapping stating there was a man in her car before police got there, turns out she made the entire thing up for apparently no reason.
When you called them up and started going on an insane rant, 911 probably thought you might be overdosing or having a mental break down. They will definitely show up for that kind of stuff.
That girl just ruined her life. College, a career, government service, and so much more potential could be gone forever. She will regret this until the day she dies.
In 2013 at my school, a teacher who was quite hated for being strict disappeared for more than 1 month. When he returned we found out that an 8 year old girl had accused him of touching her in the school bathrooms. It turns out that the girl had heard that on RU-vid and repeated it to his mother but referring to this teacher, to this day, more than 10 years later, the teacher has not returned to work in schools due to the bad reputation he received in the incident...
Can you clarify plz The girl saw to lie about people online? Or did see someone talk about their creepy teacher and made her own story? I'm a bit confused
@@jonnust6236 what do you think bro? little girl lies to police about sexual abuse, gets away with it with no ridicule and never learns from the mistake. ruins a teachers life. it comes from children wanting attention so bad that theyd rather commit crimes than be an actual likeable person and have conversations with real people.
Yeah in 7th grade these 2 girls that were friends wanted to go to a different school so they both said they were touched by our science teacher and he lost his job and they got what they wanted and their parents transferred them. I'm guessing they had tried asking their parents to no avail and so knew they had to do something more drastic. Us other students knew it was a lie. That was 21 years ago and kids were already doing that...
@@schultz8122 Yeah, I didn’t do things this stupid when I was 11. She needs to get off that part of the internet if she is influenced to do stuff like that
Take this as a lesson to not let Ipads raise your kids; be there for them! When my parents spoke of having the "TV babysitter", rules of what and what not to show them were much stricter, albeit because the technology was simpler, but I think my point still stands.
'We're residents of Dufusville and we're getting lots of new neighbours' Charlie puts those teams of late night show comedy writers to shame without even trying
@@scottt7517 Doofusville* And put in those periods, buddy. Also, you need to shorten your sentences, try "speak" next time. I can also see you avoided typing the word "your" being that you would write the wrong one. Don't worry, the other commenter had no grammatical knowledge, either.
I've called the cops a few times in my life but never 911. I was taught 911 is basically the self destruct of phone numbers, a last resort for something serious
The word "challenge" implies that what's being done is something difficult. Calling 911 and giving a fake story is not difficult. Anybody with a phone is capable of doing it, there's no skill involved.
Im so thankful my mom taught me certain things. I remember seeing pranks during the peak of pranks in the early 2010’s and thinking “who is really dumb enough to do these” i see now that sadly alot of people are.
These are not challenges. A "challenge" nowadays is just synonymous with being peer pressured into doing something so stupid that everyone laughs at you, like someone at a party who gets hammered and falls through a table, and doesnt realize nobody is laughing *with* them
As a kid, I read a very good book written about a prank phone call gone terribly wrong . . . An engaging book for young people to read with a lesson inside . . . Something about a prank call spurring a friend’s parents to race home . . . And get killed in a car crash. Unintended consequences the prankster had to live with. I think that was the story . . . Many decades since I read the book as a young teen.
I’m SO thankful every day that social media didn’t exist when I was a kid. MySpace debuted in my early teens and I thought the concept was incredibly strange even then; this idea of sharing really personal info/moments with casual acquaintances and total strangers.
Honestly I've never understood it. I had an Instagram account that I posted on from like 6th - 8th grade, since everyone else in my school had one. But then I realized that no one else actually cares about what I had for dinner or where I went on vacation, and there was no point spending my time to document everything I ever do instead of just _doing_ it. I've never touched social media since, and honestly I think it's for the best.
You have to be a cold hearted bastard to deny something that every other child have. My parents raised me and my siblings through guilt, They would make us believe it's me and my siblings fault that we're barely scraping by. They would often remind us how expensive school expenses are for 5 kids and if we didn't do well in school that money is just wasted for no reason. When i grew to be an adult and learn myself how to manage household expenses. I realised that we weren't poor at all. My parents would rather spend money decorating our house, buying tv's and expensive hifi system because at least they could gloat about it whenever they invited their friends to our house. To this day it pisses me off when my parents ask why is it so hard for me to ask them how they're were doing and why i spend so little time with them. I'm just treating them the way they used to treat me. My parents only started to value their own children when all of us got jobs and moved out of their house. Also all 5 of us will never ever get married and have children of our own. (1 of my sister did though by she divorced without ever producing children
@@stellviahohenheimit’s not cold hearted to deny internet access. The internet has EVERYTHING on it and is unfiltered ain’t no FCC. It’s not like denying a tv or a basic phone, the internet can expose kids to VERY bad things often times by accident. When I was like 7-8 I used to type random letters in the search for fun, I came across a gore site…
I also remember me and my brother calling 911 from a laundry mat when we were kids and we didn't think the call was going to go through. We were floored when it did and hung up shocked. Then they showed up, we admitted to it and they warned us about it. Lesson learned
This is something parents are now going to have to step up and educate their kids about. In a perfect world, those videos wouldn’t exist, but there will always be those clout chasers
I can see now that Charlie’s trauma from prank calling 911 as a little one was where we got his unfathomably awesome performance as district 8 hospital helper.
Vlog creations, and Ed Bassmaster are about the only prank channels i watch. Both are harmless and funny tho. Never dangerous or ill intentioned situations.
I dialed 911 when I was a kid because I saw it happen in Home Alone 2. When I heard a voice I immediately hung up. The next moment 2 large men (to me) came to my home and I was scared shitless
